Our Story

I started taking photos of people during long commutes on the bus in Miami. Many of them were in their work uniforms, covered in dirt, sweating, smiling under grimy florescent lighting in the fleeting moment before I reached my stop. This introduction to photography solidified a love for the untamed and unexpected and the highly underrated beauty of ordinary moments. In a city of extremely saturated colors, glaring advertisements, and congested streets-- my understanding of beauty itself was expanded and reconstructed.

The work I do now is focused on providing images that serve as living reminders to my clients of their beauty and how precious their place is in the world around them.

My process is to listen to my client, identify their vision, provide creative feedback, and then facilitate an experience where they feel truly seen, heard and celebrated during our session before their final images.

If you have any questions feel free to contact us!

  • "Carmella Is Creative, Intentional, Encouraging, and Truly Cares About Her Clients and Her Craft"

    I had such an amazing experience doing a photoshoot with Carmella! From the very beginning, I could tell how much thought and intention she put into the entire shoot. She sent me Pinterest ideas and created such a clear vision for the photos, which made me feel like she really cared about bringing the concept to life. She even took the time to FaceTime with me and help me choose my outfits, which I really appreciated.

    She was also on time, professional, and so encouraging throughout the entire shoot. She made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and gave me great direction and prompts without ever making me feel awkward or pressured. We flowed really well together, laughed a lot, and genuinely had fun during the shoot.

    I also loved how passionate she is about photography. She shared little details about the camera and the process, and you could really see the love and effort she puts into her work. Even after the shoot, she was great about communicating with me and getting my photos back so soon.

    Overall, I'm so happy with the experience. Carmella is creative, intentional, encouraging, and truly cares about her clients and her craft. I would definitely work with her again. ☺️📷✨

  • "She Knew and Directed All the Poses Perfectly and Captured Great Natural Ones Too"

    We are so happy with how the photos came out! We (my siblings and I) wanted to have these done for our mother, and Carmella delivered! Not only was she so patient with the kids, but it was just a great experience, and we loved having her as our photographer. She knew and directed all the poses perfectly and captured great natural ones too. ☺️ Definitely will have her take more photos of my family in the near future!

  • "You Have a Really Fun Spirit When Taking Photos, Which Most Photographers Don't Have"

    I thought the photos were super cute!! I loved the editing you did, and the scenery and the props. You have a really fun spirit when taking the photos, which also made the afternoon super fun, most photographers don't have that, it's usually right to business. I honestly didn't have anything negative to say, it was a really great time, and I was so honored you took the time to do it for us. 🤍
