I have mastered the technical aspects of photography, understanding the interplay of light, composition, and timing to create captivating images. You can trust that I have the expertise to bring out the best in you and your loved ones.
Now, let's talk about the intangibles. When you hire me, you gain a partner who will go above and beyond to make your experience truly special. I believe in building genuine connections with my clients, taking the time to understand your vision, desires, and unique story. From our initial consultation to the final delivery of your photographs, I'll be there every step of the way, ensuring your satisfaction and exceeding your expectations.
But here's the icing on the cake: my ability to make the process enjoyable and stress-free. With a warm and friendly demeanor, I create a relaxed and comfortable environment during our sessions. Whether it's a wedding, a family portrait, or any other occasion, you can count on me to bring a positive energy and make you feel at ease in front of the camera.
So, why hire me as your photographer? It's simple. With me, you get a passionate artist, a skilled professional, and a delightful companion who will capture the essence of your special moments. Let's create timeless memories together, one click at a time.
The first step to a stress-free photo shoot is clear and open communication. From the initial consultation to the day of the shoot, I'll ensure that you have a clear understanding of the process, timeline, and what to expect. We'll discuss your preferences, any concerns you may have, and address them proactively. By setting realistic expectations and keeping the lines of communication open, we can eliminate uncertainties and create a relaxed atmosphere.
To minimize stress on the day of the shoot, thorough preparations and planning are crucial. Together, we'll go over all the necessary details, such as location, wardrobe choices, and any props or accessories. I'll provide guidance on what to wear, suggest suitable locations (Although, my favorite is shooting at places with meaning to you!), and assist with any other preparations to ensure everything is ready beforehand. By being well-prepared, we can focus on enjoying the shoot without last-minute stresses. As for time of day, sunrise + sunset always provide the most beautiful golden light. However, different places and different kiddos require different times of day, and we'll work together to make sure we make magical moments together.
During the photo shoot, creating a comfortable and relaxed environment is essential. I'll use my friendly and easygoing approach to help you feel at ease in front of the camera. I'll guide you through poses, offer direction when needed, and encourage natural interactions and genuine expressions. By fostering a relaxed atmosphere, we can capture authentic and beautiful moments that truly reflect your personality and connection.
The final step to a stress-free photo shoot is to trust in the process and enjoy the experience. Trust that I have the skills and expertise to capture your best moments. Relax, have fun, and embrace the moment, knowing that I'll be there to capture it all. By letting go of any worries or self-consciousness, you can fully enjoy the session and create lasting memories. Remember, the most beautiful and genuine photographs come from moments of joy and authenticity.
By following these four steps, we'll create a stress-free environment for your photo shoot. Clear communication, thorough preparations, a relaxed atmosphere, and a focus on enjoyment will ensure that the experience is not only successful but also enjoyable. Let's make your photo shoot a delightful and memorable experience, capturing beautiful moments without stress or worry.
Photography has been my creative outlet + longtime love affair. From the first moment I picked up a camera, I knew I had found my calling. I am OBSESSED.
My business journey began in 2021, after my son was born. I quickly realized how fleeting time was + how important documenting of all of life's seasons truly is.
When I'm not behind the camera, editing, or marketing myself.. I'm enjoying time with my boy or working my day job (+ manifesting the day I can quit and just be MOM + PHOTOGRAPHER.. goals!)
- my boy, Elijah Sterling (he's my WHOLE world)
- HUGE advocate for breastfeeding!!!
- spending time at the beach + catching a tan
- holistic wellness (I am 420 friendly, if you have a FL Medical Card and want to incorporate it into your session, feel free to let me know)
- sleeping in (though nearly impossible in motherhood lol)
- bread, I love bread.
- my silly adhd self
- BOUDOIR + EMPOWERING PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCES
My world. My reason. My why. My everything.
My two year old, head strong, wild boy. The reason I knew in my heart I was made to document all the precious moments in life, and that I wanted to share that joy with you all!
While I was attending college at LSU, I was in an abusive relationship for four years. I became pregnant and was diagnosed with HG.. that was one of the toughest times in my life, but it made the the Phoenix I am today, as I continue to rise from the ashes. Just 3 months after Elijah was born, we fled our situation in Louisiana and moved back to my home town in the Space Coast of Florida.
Since moving back, we are thriving. There is truly NO place like home.. and I mean it when talking about our little slice of heaven here. We LOVE the Mouse House (aka. Disney lol). Elijah even got his first haircut at the Main Street Barbershop.. and I kid you not when I say I documented every hair that fell to the floor. Yes, I am THAT mom.
