If he wanted to, he would. 👏🏼

Gage planned an entire fake family photoshoot with their friends just to catch Andrea completely off guard when it was actually time for their proposal. And somehow, he managed to pull the whole thing off without her catching on. 😂

Even more special? Their daughter got to be a part of the whole thing and watch her dad ask her mom to marry him. 🤍

A few favorites from this beautiful evening at Lido Key.

This was my first time photographing at this beach, and it definitely won’t be my last. I loved getting to spend the evening with this sweet family—and of course their pup, too. 🐾

No matter how many surprise proposals I do, they never get old. I feel the same nerves you do, I get so excited watching the reactions and the pure joy and surprise. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of being trusted with moments this big and this special. 🤍

When you have 5 minutes left in your studio rental (in the most gorgeous space 😍) and realize you haven’t shown your face on the grid in far too long… you take some quick self portraits.

With no tripod. 😂

But really… hiiiii. 👋

It’s been far too long since I’ve shown my face around here, and I just wanted to check in and say thank you for keeping me booked and busy, even during my “off” season. This little business of mine has grown so much, and none of it would be possible without all of you.

So shoutout to my day one OGs and all you lovely new faces around here. 🤍

Taking photos has never been just a simple shoot-it-and-forget-it thing for me. I often think about all of you—how your kids are doing, how life’s been treating you, and I genuinely hurt with you when your pets pass. I’m honestly invested in your lives.

Some people think having that kind of connection in business isn’t the best idea, but honestly, it’s the root of who I am.

All this to say… every referral, every new profile picture, every photo tag, every recommendation—it all means so much to this little empath. 🤍

Hopefully I’ll be a little better at showing up on socials this year. 😬 Thanks for sticking around.

Dana & Nora celebrated their 10 year wedding anniversary with their very first professional photos 🥹 how special is that.

We spent the evening at the beach—one of their favorite places—just walking around, laughing, and getting to know each other. You would never guess it was their first session. They fully leaned in, trusted every pose I threw at them, and just had fun with it.

I found myself smiling the entire time I was going through their gallery trying to choose what to share… and that’s exactly why I love what I do. Photos are meant to make you feel something.

Consider this your sign to book the session you’ve been putting off. There’s never a “perfect” time—but I promise, it’s always worth it 🤍

Senior year means something different when you’ve poured yourself into everything.

So we paid respect to every piece of who Laila is — and had to end her session under the lights at the Tampa Theatre.

Because senior photos shouldn’t just mark a milestone — they should reflect you.

Not a highlight reel. Just real life.
I’m finding more and more of my sessions are moving in this direction—and I love how it gives everyone space to be themselves. It takes the pressure off chasing the “perfect” photo, because perfect looks different to everyone.
