Being engaged is such a fun and special time in life. It’s this beautiful little chapter where couples get to soak in all the love and excitement — just the two of them and with their closest family and friends — before stepping into marriage.

Engagement photo sessions are one of my favorite ways to celebrate this season. So many of my couples tell me afterward, “Okay… now it really feels official.” And I love that! It’s not just about the photos (though those are definitely a perk!) — it’s about capturing who you are together in this moment.

I totally get that being in front of the camera can feel intimidating. Honestly, nearly every couple starts the session with, “We’re the most awkward people you’ll ever meet,” and I always say, “Don’t you worry. I got you.” 💛 By the end, they’re laughing, relaxed, and having a blast.

Engagement sessions are also the perfect time to create beautiful images for things like save-the-dates, guestbooks, and even wedding websites.

When it comes to planning, I’ve got you covered — from helping you choose outfits to picking the perfect location. Whether you’re dreaming of beachy vibes, woodsy trails, or cool city streets, I’ll ask the right questions to help us find the perfect spot.

I can’t wait to start brainstorming with you and celebrate this exciting chapter!

Some of my favorite local spots for engagement sessions:

• Jacksonville Beach Pier, Hanna Park Beach, Guana State Park Beach – for those dreamy coastal vibes

• Big Talbot Island / Driftwood Beach – unique and otherworldly

• Ribault Club – classic, elegant charm

• Washington Oaks State Park – lush gardens and coquina rock beaches

• Downtown Jacksonville – urban textures and skyline moments

• Riverside Park – charming and laid-back

• St. Augustine – full of history, charm, and colorful backdrops
