Central Florida Headshots | Orlando Portrait Photographer

Another super fun session for a high schooler in the Orlando area who needed to update her headshots. We shared a lot of laughs shooting this session together! Haylie, I had so much fun working with you and congratulations on making Encore’s Dream Team!

Senior Photographer | Orlando Senior Session

I love creating timeless images that truly capture my client’s unique personality. I enjoy photographing Seniors because it is such an amazing time in their lives. A fun photo shoot is a great way for them to celebrate and remember this special milestone.

Together we will choose a location and wardrobe that fits their style and vibe. Whether it’s urban, the beach, or out in the woods, we can find a place to shoot that makes them feel great.

Here’s a peek into Maddie’s sweet session in the woods. Wishing her the best of luck on her next adventure - college!

Sessions for seniors are available year round. Get in touch here if you’d like to chat about a Senior Session.

Family Session at Home | Orlando Family Photographer

I love sessions at home! The vibe is always so chill and the images are always unique. I love when personalities can shine and when the photographs are full of real emotion. I’m down to capture traditional family photos but my most favorite images to leave a family with are the ones that show them just as they are. When they look back at their photos I want them to remember not only what their family looked like but what their family felt like too!

 

I had such a wonderful time with this beautiful and sweet family. They sang, they danced, they laughed, they played and they loved.

If you’re interested in having your family captured in a way that you will cherish forever, get in touch! I’d love to chat with you about a session in and around your home :)

 

Orlando Documentary Session | Orlando Newborn Photographer

I photographed this family at their Orlando home while Mom was still pregnant with baby #2. Their documentary style session captured their life at home just before they became a family of 4. You can check out some highlights from that session here.

It’s always exciting (and an honor) to photograph a newborn but it’s especially exciting when you’ve already met and fallen in love with the family. Seriously, I loved photographing these guys. They are the sweetest.

We got to catching up and we had a wonderful laidback and casual documentary style session together. It’s freeing going into a session without any expectations.

I truly believe that these real life sessions at home are extra special. This family ended up relocating to Ohio and I am so glad that they captured sweet memories together in their Florida home. They will always have these photos of this special time to cherish and look back on. Real life, real smiles, real love.

Aruba 2018 | Personal

10 years ago, my husband and I spent our honeymoon in Aruba. I still can’t believe that 10 years has passed us by so quickly! We thought it would be fun to go back and visit the island (this time with our kids) as we celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary back in December.

Our first trip was an escape to the beach during New York’s cold winter. Going back 10 years later (as Floridians) was a bit different. We’ve definitely been spoiled by the sunshine state and it almost felt silly to have traveled so far away when we have our own paradise so close to home.

I had high hopes of documenting our entire vacation from start to finish but quickly realized that was not only unrealistic but also impossible. Sometimes I’m sad when I miss opportunities to take photos when we are visiting new places and doing new things BUT I’ve learned that it’s always more enjoyable for everyone when I’m present in the moment too!

I relaxed, I had fun, and I only took a few pictures...but I’m okay with that :)

Lifestyle Family Session | Orlando, FL

Some of my favorite images are the in-between moments when everyone forgets they’re being photographed. It’s in these short moments that I am able to capture something honest and real.

When I began documenting my life at home and photographing my client's without direction there was a lot more honest and real being captured. I realized that those images were the ones that really made me feel something. Feeling something and connecting with my clients - that's what inspires me as an artist. For me, it has nothing to do with what happens when a family poses and smiles for the camera and everything to do with what happens when a family is living in the moment. That's what I want to capture.

As much as I'm shooting for my clients I'd be lying if I said I wasn't also shooting for myself. I shoot from my heart and not from a list of Pinterest poses.

I want to be in the moment with you and your family. I want your kids to be 100% themselves. I want to capture more than just what your family looked like but how you made each other feel...
