Award Winning Family Photographer | From Maternity & Babies to Seniors & Underwater Space Coast - Brevard County FL Sunset Couples Session on the Beach | Dog-Friendly Cocoa Beach Photographer
Your Dog Is Always Welcome: How We Capture the Whole FamilyDog-Friendly Cocoa Beach PhotographerOkay, can we talk about how much better photos get when there's a dog in them? There's just something magical that happens when a couple brings their pup to a golden hour beach session. The light is warm, everyone's relaxed, and instead of just a pretty photo shoot you end up with a gallery that actually feels like you.
We Do Both: Posed and PlayfulA question I often get during session planning is: "Is it okay if we bring our dog?" And every single time, my answer is absolutely yes. Please do! Here's something many people don't know about me... before I started my photography business, I was a dog trainer. So when your dog decides to forget all previously taught commands, or just completely checks out and starts sniffing something in the distance, I'm not stressed. I've been there. I know how to redirect, how to work with their energy, and honestly, how to turn those moments into some of the best frames of the whole session. Here's how I like to structure things: First, we get the posed shots. While everyone's still fresh, we'll do the more intentional stuff: sitting together in the sand, walking along the water, Then, we just have fun. We break out the ball. We let the dog run. Someone usually ends up soaking wet (sorry in advance). And the photos from this part of the session? They're almost always the ones people end up obsessing over — because they're real. They're you. They're the chaos and the joy and the love that you can't really pose for.
Your Dog Is in Good Hands, PromiseMy training background means I'm not just someone who tolerates dogs at sessions. I genuinely love working with them, and I know how to keep even the most anxious or excitable pup feeling comfortable. A relaxed dog makes for happy, natural photos, and that's always the goal.
A Few Tips Before Your Session
Let's Make Some MagicIf you've been on the fence about including your dog in your session, this is your sign. Whether you're celebrating an anniversary, just got engaged, or simply want photos that actually reflect your everyday life (dog hair and all), I would love to make that happen. Brevard can sometimes feel like a tricky place to find dog-friendly beaches and location, but don't worry, I know ones that are! Contact me for information on scheduling a session with your pup!
Artistic Underwater Portrait Session in Central Florida
When You Become the Art: Underwater Photography SessionsSpace Coast Florida Underwater PhotographerSome people hang art on their walls. Some hang photos. And then there are those who want a combination; a photograph that's also a work of art. And the subject of that art can be you! When you book an underwater session, we are making art together. We collaborate on the colors and feel of the photos, incorporating wardrobe choices and fabrics to get a look and feel that you'll love. That you'll want to display on your walls. And the best part? You don't need to be a swimmer, a model, or anyone other than yourself.
The Magic Happens Below the SurfaceThere's something transformative about being underwater. The way fabric floats around you. The way light bends and dances through the water. The way everything slows down, goes quiet, and suddenly you're not just in a photo, you're in another world entirely.
It's More Collaborative Than You ThinkBefore we ever get in the water, we talk. We talk about colors that make you feel alive, about the mood you want to capture, about the fabrics and wardrobe pieces that will move beautifully in the water. Are you drawn to rich jewel tones and a bold lighting? Soft light and flowing chiffon? Black backdrop or the blue of the pool? There are no wrong answers. This is your vision just as much as it is mine, and my job is to bring it to life.
You Don't Have to Be an Expert in the WaterOne of the questions I hear most often is: "But I can't hold my breath for very long, will that be a problem?" Not at all. We work in short, relaxed dips below the surface, and you'll have plenty of time to breathe and reset between shots. Sessions are held in a controlled pool environment, the water is shallow enough to stand in, we have a lifeguard for safety, and I'll be right there with you every step of the way. We go at your pace. We take breaks. We laugh a lot. By the end, most people tell me they wish it had lasted longer.
The Result: Art That's Uniquely, Beautifully YouWhen you hang one of these images on your wall, you're not hanging a snapshot of a moment in time. You're hanging a piece of art that says something about who you are: your grace, your strength, your willingness to try something extraordinary. Guests will stop and stare. And you'll smile, because you know what it took to make it.
Ready to Make Something Beautiful Together?If you've been on the fence, consider this your sign. Sessions are limited, and I love working with people who are excited to create something truly one-of-a-kind. Whether you're treating yourself, celebrating a milestone, or simply ready to see yourself in a whole new light, I'd love to hear from you!
