• I had such a fun photo session with Lana from @thesarasotamoms and her beautiful family recently! These two sisters loved the camera (and my camera clearly loved them! 🥰📷) but their two year old sister wasn’t quite as enthused... 🤣🙃 Don’t worry - we got some great photos of the three girls together, and some crying ones for posterity sake as well! 🎉 Tell me, do you prefer photos of your kids looking like little angels or more authentic, realistic portrayals of them? 😇🙃

  • Well, 2020 is almost half over, and I’m pretty optimistic that the 2nd part will make up for the 1st. 🙃 Last week I went sailing on Lake Michigan and (very bravely) sent my drone up to take photos and videos from above. 🚁 The view from high above us looking down looks incredibly serene and peaceful! You’d never know from this calm photo that I was in a slight panic below, as I forgot my drone has an obstacle avoidance feature that wouldn’t allow me to land it back on our boat! 🤦🏻‍♀️ Of course I luckily managed to divert it around the sails and miraculously land the drone on top of the sun shield (insane, right?!), but the point of this little story is that I learned I just need to change my perspective. Of COURSE things will get better. History is full of ebbs and flows and we are just riding a difficult span of time right now. 🎉 So I’m making the optimistic prediction that the 2nd half of 2020 will be amazing, joyful, and healthy! Who agrees? 🙌🏼😷♥️☺️

  • I LOVED photographing Alex to celebrate her graduation from high school last month! 👩🏻‍🎓 I give these high school (and college!) seniors so much credit for finishing out the school year strong, virtually, missing so many of the festivities they’ve looked forward to for 4 years. 🙃 Alex is the sweetest girl, and while she promised she had no precious modeling experience, her senior portraits suggest otherwise! (Don’t you agree?!) ♥️ She’s pursuing a career as a makeup artist and I just KNOW she’s going to be AMAZING! 🥰 Happy Graduation, Alex!

  • Want to see a sneak peek from my most recent session? 🎉 Last weekend I had my first portrait session post-quarantine and it felt SO GOOD to be out with this super happy + kind family on the beach! ☺️📷 We also celebrated their sweet baby girl’s first birthday with a cake picnic on the sand, which drew quite a bit of applause from other beach goers when she dived right into all the sugary frosting! 🎂👏🏼 If you want to check out the fun cake smash photos, head on over to my page on Facebook!

  • Hope you enjoyed the long weekend! 😎☀️ Although Florida is well into Phase 1 of reopening, I have found myself staying away from crowded places. Have you, as well? • I’m grateful I am able to photograph clients from a distance with my camera, keeping us all safe and happy! 📷 ☺️ I took this photo during my last visit to Italy and I never dreamed that such a crowded scene would look as strange as it does to me today! • Stay safe, and enjoy the unofficial start to summer 2020! 🎉☺️🙌🏼🍾😎

  • Florida enters phase one of reopening the state today! 🙌🏼 It’s been a strange 8 weeks at home, hasn’t it? Our world has changed so much in the last few months. A lot of good has come out of this time at home — families adapting to new schedules and ways of learning and working together, a renewed appreciation for all of our front line workers (thank you!!), time to catch up on dusty to-do lists and projects, and many, many funny memes! 🙃 Unfortunately, a lot of small businesses have struggled to keep afloat, and the unemployment rate nationwide is sky high! 👀 Now that photographers are allowed to go back to work, I’m happy to announce a special you might be interested in! 🎉 From now through the end of June, if you book a headshot portrait session with me, you can bring a friend along and you BOTH get 1/2 off! 🥳📷 I will have my long (and flattering) lenses to ensure we practice appropriate social distancing, and you and your friend can cheer each other on from the side and guarantee you get some stellar new headshots for your LinkedIn profile! 😎 DM me today to discuss the perfect location and date for your fresh new headshots!

  • How can I help? This week I had the loveliest client hire me to design a birth announcement she can share with her family and friends (I’m SO excited they’re adding to their already amazing family!) 👶🏻♥️ I had another sweet client order a plethora of stunning prints from a past session to display in her home, as well as to mail to grandparents, aunts & uncles! (Such a GREAT idea right now, since we can’t visit them!!) - and yes, my incredible pro printer is back in full operation this week! 🙌🏼 It makes my heart so happy to serve clients during this time! I am so grateful for your support of my business, while I cannot physically meet up to photograph you and your families! ☺️ So, how can I help YOU? Would you like to order additional digital images from a past session (at a special rate)? Or perhaps now is the perfect downtime to have me design and create a gorgeous album from your wedding! How about surprising a parent or grandparent with a special “we’re thinking about you” gift print, wall art, or album? I’ll take care of everything, including shipping directly to their door, so you won’t need to suit up for an extra trip to the post office! 🥳 Stay well, stay home, and know that I am grateful for each of you!

  • If there’s one thing I would want my clients to walk away with after working with me, it’s this album. ♥️ My Modern Luxe Albums are available in a variety of cover options, but one of my favorites is the acrylic cover + the (new!) soft gold metallic Italian leather! It’s so fresh, bright and happy! The leather feels so luxurious, and the album gives off such a cool, modern vibe! 😎 There’s no time limit after your session or event to order one of these keepsake albums! 🙌🏼 DM or email me if you’re interested in more information on the cost and ordering process! 🤓 Click the link in my bio to read more about my Modern Luxe Albums!
