I’m a Florida girl who spent the last 2 decades traveling the world, studying Art History and Photography, and calling NYC home.
I've found my calling in photographing happy people and places. I love being able to serve clients in a professional and cheerful manner, creating your favorite photographs ever!

I realized I could embrace my artistic talents to provide meaningful experiences for clients.
my true calling?
I love turning your time in front of my camera into lasting memories in the most beautiful way possible. Each photo session or event I photograph is unique, which ensures a truly personalized experience!
Whether I spend an hour on the beach at sunset with you and your family or am with you on your boat all afternoon, I strive to create priceless images you'll hold close to your heart always. It really is such an honor each and every time I photograph you.
I take my job seriously, although my sessions are anything but! I know it can be nerve-wracking getting in front of the camera, but I promise our time together will have more of a fun, comfortable, "friends just hanging out" kind of vibe. Are you ready for the most gorgeous photos of yourself ever?! INVEST IN YOURSELF. YOU'RE WORTH IT!
I'm here to help you make that dream a reality.
I will guide you through the entire portrait process, from our first consultation phone call or email all the way through hanging your gorgeous photos on your wall! I aim for our time together to be fun, stress-free, and meaningful.
So many of my present clients have repeatedly voiced how comfortable my approach made them and their families throughout our time together. Isn’t that how it should be?! Just leave it to me; I promise you’re going to LOVE your new portraits!
I created this business to help capture your happy memories & show you how to display them as priceless art

Our family brought some challenges to her shoot, but
Colleen made my daughter feel like a supermodel, actually got a real smile from my husband instead of his usual grimace, and even got our twin boys to cooperate at the same time! We are beyond happy with our photos!
Colleen has a gift for bringing out the best in her subjects.

Looking professional is super important for nailing that first impression with a client. I tend to get very tense in front of cameras. During our shoot Colleen used fun and creative techniques to put me at ease. The pictures turned out lovely and the feedback has been amazing. I think I've told 100 people about her photography!
Colleen is an exceptional photographer and storyteller.
