I'm Vanessa, and I am thrilled you are here. I could ramble on all about me but truth be told, the conversation would end up turning to photography anyway. Here is what you need to know: I am the luckiest person in the world. I am married to the kindest, sweetest person I know. I have the most loving family. I have the world's best friend. I love my fur babies (2 kitties and a puppy). I love to travel! I have a degree in health sciences and I am enrolled at Daytona State for Photographic Technology. I told you it would turn back to photography!

So, whether you're a fellow traveler seeking to commemorate a special chapter or a couple ready to embark on a new adventure, we're here to lend our creative vision and unwavering passion to your tale. Join us as we navigate the intricate dance of light, emotion, and surroundings to craft images that resonate with the very essence of who you are.

My Photography journey through the years

Aside from your partner, your photographer is likely the person you will be spending the most time with on your wedding day. But wouldn't it be nice if it was the other people closest to you instead? My approach to a wedding day is simple. I am there to capture moments as they authentically unfold. I don't want to take control of your big day. My passion is catching passing glimpses, hands being held, and tears of joy, and to do that I will be a fly on the wall. I will step in occasionally when needed, but your wedding day is to celebrate you! If you value being present in life and on your wedding day, then consider me your photographer!

Noticing small moments that become everlasting memories

what you can expect

"You make known to me the path of life;
    you will fill me with joy in your presence,
    with eternal pleasures at your right hand."

"Vanessa has been our family photographer for 4 years. She has a great eye for family candid shots. She is especially wonderful with young children and knows how to get them to smile and have a good time. She is patient and kind. She works quickly and comes prepared to handle our BIG family. She puts heart into all the edits and you can tell as the sessions go on that she got THE shot 😉 We hope Vanessa will be our family photographer for many to come."
