I couldn’t remember when I actually started photography (that wasn’t landscape), so I went digging through my old photos.
December 2021.
I was taking pictures of dogs and volunteering at shelters to do dog portraits. 😂 I was learning as I went and genuinely had no idea what any of it would turn into.
And somehow… it’s August 2026.
I looked back at those photos and had one of those wait… what?! moments.
Because this is my life now. 🥹
A husband. Two little boys. A photography business I’m ridiculously proud of. Years of weddings, families, babies, chaos, happy tears and people trusting me with some of the biggest moments of their lives.
So I think I’m overdue for a little reintroduction.
Hi, I’m Adonica. 🤍
And if you’ve ever had me photograph you, there’s a very good chance you left thinking I was either hilarious or completely insane.
There is no in between. 😂
I’m loud. I’m goofy. I’m wildly ADHD. My brain has approximately 47 tabs open at all times, and motherhood apparently decided that wasn’t enough.
I lose my train of thought halfway through sentences. I bounce from one thing to another. I get distracted easily. I laugh at myself constantly. And when I see good light or you do something that looks AMAZING, there is absolutely no hiding my excitement.
You will hear about it. 😂
But I also care so, so much.
I care about making people feel comfortable. I notice when you’re nervous. I notice the little looks between people, the hand squeezes, the laughs that happen after you think the photo is over, your kid being completely themselves.
I think my slightly chaotic brain is actually part of what makes me the photographer I am.
I notice everything.
And somewhere between taking pictures of shelter dogs in 2021 and standing here today with my little family, this thing I started for fun turned into something I genuinely love.
Almost five years later, I still feel incredibly lucky that people choose me to tell pieces of their story.
So, hi. 🤍
I’m Adonica.
Photographer. Wife. Mama of two. Slightly chaotic. Very sentimental. Probably laughing about something.
And I’m really happy you’re here.
