Hello There!
Greetings, & welcome to my little corner of the internet!
You've probably stumbled upon my website via a referral, web search, or some other serendipitous connection. If you are looking for a photographer to update your family portraits or capture your wedding day, you'll receive that & more with me: joyful attitude, professionalism, high-energy, the ability to connect with your bridal party, family, & guests, & a smiling face.
Aside from photographing the most amazing weddings & families in the Gainesville, Florida area, there are a lot of things that fill me with joy. I am a wife to a patient, skilled, & light-hearted man, & mother to a 10-year old boy & a sassy 7-year old girl. Our Australian Shepherd, Maverick, stands guard over the family and our backyard chickens.
We love to spend our days outside, building stuff, staying active, in water, and with family. Hailing from both Miami & southern California, I've been fortunate to see some of the country's most beautiful landscapes.
One of my biggest photography passions? Drone photography. The aerial perspective is so unique, and I love to see the shapes and composition that come of it. There’s just something so fun & interesting about seeing everyday objects from an aerial view!
Photography isn’t my full-time gig. Monday through Friday, you’ll find me on University of Florida’s campus, where I’ve worked since 2008! I never leave the house without ice water. What gets me teary-eyed at every wedding? The mother-son dance. It's hard not to picture my son and I at his wedding one day!
As a retired extrovert, this introvert CRAVES her quiet time. I truly enjoy my time in nature, laying in grass, and most nights of the week my family can expect me to take a bath while reading an actual book.
Let's connect to chat about your wedding day (big or small!), or your session needs. I'm always down for Piesano's, coffee, or a phone call!
