Sarasota is home to the legendary Ringling legacy — and this season, I am unveiling a limited fine art portrait experience inspired by that history.

The Spectacle Series is a glamour-driven, theatrical fine art event designed for girls and women who appreciate artistry, drama, and heirloom-quality imagery.

Not a mini session.
An invitation.

✨ Curated feathered couture provided
✨ Professional hair and makeup included for women
✨ Light age-appropriate styling for young girls
✨ Fully guided posing and art direction
✨ Expert retouching and museum-quality metal or acrylic wall art

Each session is intentional and unhurried. I carefully pose and direct every subject to reflect her most confident, beautiful self — creating an experience where she can step into the role and truly feel extraordinary.

After your portrait session, you’ll return to view and select your finished artwork, designed to become a statement piece in your home.

Private message me to reserve your place and receive early access details. Availability will be limited.

The Spectacle Series is also available as a private luxury in-home portrait event by request.

This one hits differently. 💙
My baby. My Carter. A senior. Graduating this year.

I love this portrait—not just for the blue light, the fog, or the mood—but because it reflects who he is. Strong, calm, steady, and grounded. Carter is a young man marked by self-control, humility, and a deep faith that quietly leads others. He doesn’t need to be the loudest in the room to make an impact—his kindness, integrity, and gentle strength speak for themselves.

As his momma, I am incredibly proud. This year will be emotionally hard as I watch him step into a new chapter, but it’s also exhilarating because I know the future ahead of him is full of purpose. He is becoming a faith-filled man, a leader, and an example to so many—including me.

Forever grateful for the honor of being his mom. And forever in awe of the man God is shaping him into. 💙✨

Come watch tonight's game at 7 - it will be a blackout nail biter as we rival for the #1 seed

🎪 COMING SOON… A FINE ART CIRCUS EXPERIENCE 🎪
Step right up — but only just close enough for a glimpse.

I’m thrilled to share a sneak peek of a brand-new Fine Art Portrait Circus Event, inspired by the magic, mystery, and artistry of the Big Top. From wonder-filled childhood imagination to bold, expressive portraits for adults, this experience is being designed for all ages — timeless, theatrical, and unforgettable.

With Sarasota proudly known as the home of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus and the historic beauty of The Ringling, it felt only right to create something that honors that legacy — elegance, drama, storytelling, and spectacle.

This is just the beginning.
The curtain is not fully lifted… yet. 🎭

✨ Premiere event details coming soon.
Limited sessions. One-of-a-kind fine art portraits.

You can see it in their eyes — a love rooted in trust, friendship, and a deep sense of knowing one another. The kind of love where laughter comes easily, support is unspoken, and friendship sits at the very center.

Today we celebrated Presley, the beautiful bride-to-be, and what a gift it is to witness a relationship like this — a reminder of how rare and meaningful true love can be. For those who are fortunate to have it, it’s something to treasure, protect, and honor.

💘 Valentine’s Day is right around the corner.
If you share this kind of love with someone special, a sunset session is a beautiful way to preserve it — capturing the connection, trust, and friendship that make it real.

✨ Now booking Valentine’s Day sunset sessions.

A strong brand should feel aligned, grounded, and authentic — especially in a healing space.

This full branding session for TCM Healing Points Acupuncture Clinic, led by Dr. Tiffiny Davis, was designed to reflect the calm, trust, and professionalism patients experience the moment they walk through the door.

From welcoming portraits to in-practice details, every image was created to support her clinic’s website, social media, and marketing — visually telling the story of care, balance, and holistic healing.

I bring a full lighting setup on location, adapting to each business so the images feel natural, elevated, and true to your brand.

Branding That Goes Beyond the Workout
A strong brand tells the full story — and for Jack Pacetti, that includes training, nutrition, and real life.

From action shots in the gym to food photography (yes, waffles included 🥞) and polished images used directly in his ads, this session was designed to give Jack versatile content he could actually use. Branding photography isn’t just about portraits — it’s about creating visuals that work across websites, social media, and marketing campaigns.

Whether it’s fitness, food, or lifestyle, I create on-location branding sessions with professional lighting that adapt to your business and your message.

Some love stories just feel right from the start. My beautiful Niece Presley and Connor met as middle schoolers and we all knew one day they would get married because they were meant for one another!
Presley is an incredible young woman — strong, kind, elegant, and smart. And Connor complements her perfectly — a Marine with a respectful heart, strong work ethic, and genuine grace. Both unwavering in their Faith.

Photographing their engagement was such a joy, not only because they’re family, but because their love is real, steady, and full of promise. These are the moments worth preserving. I am SO excited for their wedding and beautiful life as one!
