Book a Session

South Florida is one of those rare places where every neighborhood has its own visual identity — from the Art Deco pastels of Miami Beach to the yacht-lined canals of Fort Lauderdale to the quiet, manicured streets of Parkland and Coral Springs. As a photographer who works between the North Shore of Chicago and the Florida coast, I travel throughout South Florida for portrait and wedding sessions, and the diversity of this region never stops inspiring me. Whether your story unfolds on a Fort Lauderdale rooftop or in a Coral Gables garden, I bring the same elevated, editorial approach to every session.

Senior Portraits Across South Florida

South Florida seniors are some of the most stylish, confident clients I work with, and I love creating portraits that match that energy. Whether you attend Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Coral Springs Charter School, St. Thomas Aquinas in Fort Lauderdale, or Coral Gables Senior High, your senior session should feel like a celebration of exactly who you are right now.

The beauty of South Florida is the range of session locations we can pull from. For an urban editorial feel, Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale is unbeatable — tree-lined streets, colorful storefronts, sidewalk cafes, and a downtown energy that gives portraits a sophisticated, magazine-quality look. If you want something more natural, Fort Lauderdale Beach offers that classic South Florida coastline with soft morning light and turquoise water. And for seniors in the Miami area, the Mediterranean architecture of Coral Gables — wrought iron balconies, arched doorways, bougainvillea cascading down coral stone walls — creates a backdrop that feels timeless.

Every senior session includes professional hair and makeup, a wardrobe consultation, and my full creative direction so you never have to worry about posing or angles. You just show up, feel amazing, and let me handle the rest.

South Florida Weddings

This region is a destination wedding powerhouse, and I’ve had the joy of photographing celebrations in some of South Florida’s most extraordinary venues. The diversity of options here is truly unmatched.

In Miami, Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is one of the most breathtaking wedding venues in the entire country — a 1916 Italian Renaissance estate on Biscayne Bay with formal European gardens, carved stone loggias, and a waterfront barge that looks like something from a painting. Photographing a wedding at Vizcaya is a dream assignment; the architecture and landscape do half the work, and the couple gets to feel like royalty.

Fort Lauderdale offers incredible waterfront venues along the Intracoastal Waterway. The Bonnet House Museum and Gardens pairs tropical gardens with a historic estate and resident swans — the kind of venue that gives you romantic, lush, one-of-a-kind images. For couples wanting a modern, sleek celebration, the W Fort Lauderdale brings rooftop ocean views and contemporary design.

In Coral Gables, the Biltmore Hotel is South Florida royalty — a 1926 landmark with a 315-foot tower, Mediterranean-Revival architecture, and grounds that have hosted presidents, celebrities, and some of the most elegant weddings in the state. The Biltmore’s courtyard ceremonies, with the tower framed by palm trees overhead, produce the kind of images that become family heirlooms.

My wedding coverage is documentary-first with a fine art eye. I photograph real moments as they happen — the laughter, the tears, the chaos and beauty of a wedding day — while also making sure the formal portraits and detail shots are executed with precision. Hair and makeup is included for bridal portrait sessions.

Branding Sessions for South Florida Entrepreneurs

South Florida’s entrepreneurial community is thriving across every city in the region. From the wellness and beauty brands in Fort Lauderdale to the tech startups in Miami’s Wynwood district to the real estate professionals throughout Coral Springs and Parkland, I work with business owners who understand that polished, professional imagery is a non-negotiable part of building a modern brand.

Las Olas Boulevard is one of my favorite branding session locations — the mix of natural light, colorful architecture, and upscale streetscape energy makes it incredibly versatile. In Miami, the Wynwood Walls district and the Design District both offer bold, creative backdrops for entrepreneurs with edgier brands. For a more traditional corporate feel, the lobbies and grounds of Coral Gables’ historic hotels provide instant credibility.

Session Locations Throughout the Region

Las Olas Boulevard, Fort Lauderdale — This is South Florida’s answer to Chicago’s Michigan Avenue, and it’s one of the most photogenic streets in the region. Boutiques, galleries, restaurants, and that unmistakable Fort Lauderdale energy make it ideal for seniors, branding, and couples sessions.

Fort Lauderdale Beach — Wide stretches of golden sand, the iconic wave wall along A1A, and morning light that turns the Atlantic into glass. Beach sessions here feel natural and relaxed, and I know exactly which stretches offer the most privacy and the best light at every hour.

Coral Gables and the Biltmore — Mediterranean architecture, banyan-lined boulevards, and a neighborhood that feels more like southern Europe than southern Florida. Coral Gables is a portrait photographer’s paradise, and the Biltmore grounds alone could fill an entire session with variety.

Miami Beach and the Art Deco District — The pastel facades, neon signage, and palm-lined Ocean Drive of South Beach create a backdrop that’s instantly recognizable and endlessly fun to shoot. For seniors or branding clients who want bold, colorful, fashion-forward imagery, there’s nowhere better.
