I'm so glad you're here!
Sweet Sunshine was born out of a long-time passion for creative design and quarantine. It was launched in 2020 after spending the lockdown considering my true passions and life goals. At that time, I had been in school studying Criminology for 8 years, securing a Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree, and working towards a Ph.D. in the field. Upon some deep self-reflection, I realized that my true calling was photography.
I have had a camera in my hand since childhood, but always considered it a hobby. For years, friends and family members had turned to me to capture their family portraits, engagement photos, and event documentation, but I never thought I could pursue it as a career. But with months in lockdown, I spent that time educating myself further about the art of photography and building up the confidence to finally pursue this dream.
Since starting Sweet Sunshine Photography, I have had the privilege to photograph dozens of individuals, couples, and families. My absolute favorite thing about this job is being able to show people just how beautiful they truly are. We live in an era where we are taught self-criticism at a young age, and we spend the years picking apart every physical feature that does not fit into society’s standard of beauty. I’m here to help bulldoze those insecurities so that you can see yourself in a whole new light!

My Philosophy
faqs
Sweet Sunshine Photography offers sessions for individuals, including seniors, branding, and boudoir, couples, including engagement and elopement, and families, including maternity, immediate family, and extended family.
During peak season (Spring-Fall), weekends book 1-2 months in advance and weekday evenings book 2-4 weeks in advance.
Shoots are scheduled within 90 minutes of sunrise or sunset.
Neutrals, layers, and flowy fabrics! Once your session is booked, you will receive a copy of the Sweet Sunshine Guide which will walk you through putting together the perfect outfits to compliment your photos without taking the attention away from the main focus (aka YOU)!
I have a few “go-to” location recommendations that never fail to deliver wonderful images! I do allow clients to choose different locations that may be meaningful to them with the understanding that the lighting conditions of that location may impact the end product.
