Portrait Photography


Couples/Family/Seniors/Maternity/Headshots/Branding

I do it all! We can meet at any of the beautiful locations our area has to offer or if you prefer, I can

come to your home. I love taking the time to explore locations, providing clients with a variety of backgrounds for their photos. I encourage clients to send me examples of photos/poses they see on sites like Pinterest so I have some ideas in mind. Spontaneous ideas also always happen !

I am very genuine, laid back and love what I do.  Every job is an adventure and a memory I treasure as much as the photos themselves.  General information for a few types of sessions is provided below-feel free to reach out to me with any special requests!

FAQ

This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?

Expect it to be fun! Many people feel a little awkward the first few minutes but that quickly passes. I like to think I am very easy to be around. I suggest that women with long hair have something to tie their hair back with. Perhaps bring comfortable shoes if we will be walking a lot, and some makeup if desired.  I like to take a combination of posed and more candid style photos. Send me any poses/photos you see and like on sites like Pinterest so we have an idea of where to start.

 

Can you give me tips on what to wear?



Yes! I'd say the most important thing is to where clothes that fit well. Not too tight, not too baggy. Baggy clothes can make you look bigger, especially if its breezy and the fabric moves the wrong way. I always suggest colors that pop against the background. Reds, Pinks Oranges always look good. Everyone looks good in blue.  Generally I say to avoid green and brown if we are at a park where that will make you blend into the background. But they are your photos-wear what you like.  For couples and families you just want it to all look good together and not clash. Pick 2-3 colors.

 

Can you recommend any good locations?

 

Yes, of course! I have become very familiar with many locations throughout both the Tampa Bay and Orlando areas. Let me know the area you are interested in and I will send you a few suggestions. If you will be visiting Orlando, know that the closest beach is over an hour away.

 

What if the weather is bad on the day of an outdoor shoot?

I am always looking at the weather forecast and radar the day before and of shoots. If you are on vacation I suggest scheduling your photos early in your stay so that we may be able to postpone. If it looks like there may just be a passing shower I usually say lets do it! If it looks like a total rainout and we cannot postpone I'll refund your deposit. I've been pretty lucky and rarely had to do this.
