I used to take it personally when people would say, “You’re too expensive.” It would sting. But now? I know my worth. And as a Central Florida Photographer specializing in everything from Family Photo Sessions to Brand Photography, I can confidently say: you’re not just paying for a picture, you’re investing in a legacy.

📱 “My Phone Camera is Good Enough”… Right?

Ever since phones started coming out with “good cameras,” it seems like everyone thinks phone photos are enough.

But being a photographer isn’t just about snapping a few cute pics with a phone.

It’s about vision.

It’s about lighting, composition, emotion, timing, technical skill, and experience.

Just like having a kitchen doesn’t make you a chef…

Having a camera—or a phone with portrait mode—doesn’t make you a photographer.

It might make you someone who can take a picture.

But photography in Orlando, or anywhere, is so much more than that.

It’s so much more than that.

It’s understanding how to paint with light, how to draw out real emotion, crafting an environment where your true self can shine through.

📷 Where Are You in the Photos?

And here’s something to think about:

Where are YOU in those photos?

In a blurry selfie? Hidden behind the camera?

Or… missing completely?

You deserve more than that.

You deserve to be seen.

To be in the moment with your loved ones.

To exist in your family’s legacy—not just behind it.

💡 The Truth About Photography Pricing

Because anyone can take a photo with a phone or a nice camera on auto…

Because it’s easy to snap and send a digital file in a few seconds…

People assume it should be cheap.

Because hey, it doesn’t take that much work, right?

Wrong.

What they don’t see are the hours, the skill, the strategy, the creativity, the emotional labor—

All poured into creating not just a photo… but an experience.

A memory. A legacy.

A piece of art that will live long after the moment has passed.

You’re not just paying for a photo.

You’re investing in someone who can make you feel seen,

Your family feel connected,

And your story feel timeless.

🎨 Photography Is Art, Science, and Storytelling

It’s art, it’s science, it’s emotional storytelling.

And it’s a whole experience.

Behind every photo you see, there’s a deep level of technical knowledge:

Lighting. Camera settings. Color theory. Composition. Human psychology.

The tools we use aren’t just props—

They’re the paintbrushes of a masterpiece.

The set, the lighting, the backdrop? That’s the canvas.

You and your loved ones?

You are the subject of this masterpiece.

And I treat that with reverence.

🛠️ What You Don’t Always See

1. The hours spent conceptualizing and designing custom sets
2. Cleaning, organizing, decorating, and making sure the studio is safe, comfortable, and inspires creation
3. Investing money and time in high-quality equipment, constant education, and coaching
4. Planning your session from concept to wardrobe to execution, editing, and in-person delivery
5. Walking you through posing, helping your kids smile, planning activities that spark real, candid joy
6. Making you feel seen, beautiful, connected

And most importantly?

Delivering not just digital images—

But heirloom albums, wall art, and printed memories meant to last generations.

🧠 I Bring All of Me, Wholeheartedly

I have a BS in Psychology and Pre-Med, an MBA in Entrepreneurship, and an MS in Marketing.

I’ve worked as a VP of Marketing in creative agencies.

And I bring ALL of that experience, strategy, care, and creative direction into each and every shoot.

I bring ALL OF ME.

Why?

Because photography is not just what I do.

It’s who I am.

And I’m damn good at it. ✨

❓ Ask Yourself These Essential Questions…

So next time you ask,

“Do you know a photographer that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg?” Assess whether this is the correct question by pausing and and reflecting on the following questions:

1. What is this moment or memory worth to me?
2. What do I want to pass down to my family for generations—even after I’m gone?
3. And who do I trust to help me preserve that legacy?

I’m not just here to take your picture.

I’m here to help you preserve your legacy.

💎 So Yes… I Am Expensive

I am luxury.

Depending on what you value.

If you’re looking for the cheapest option…

I’m not it.

But if you value:

1. Intentionality
2. Connection
3. Creativity
4. Artistry
5. Legacy
6. And someone who gives a damn about your experience from beginning to end…

Then I’m worth every penny—

And some might even say… priceless.

🕊️ What’s the Value of a Memory?

Because how do you put a price on:

1. Re-living your loved one’s laughter?
2. The way your child looks at you in this season of life?
3. The quiet joy in your partner’s eyes?
4. The moment you felt seen, beautiful, and whole?

What is the value of a memory? How about the value of your legacy?

What is the value of preserving a fleeting moment… forever?

This is more than photography.

It’s emotion, legacy, and love—captured intentionally.
