Nostalgic photos should have beautiful memories. We, Joshua and Melanie, take the charm of our small hometown, and meet art with community. Awkward poses aren’t our style. We like to capture moments on camera that match the people on screen. Then, we mix our style and your personality!
Community is important. We grew up in Lakeland, FL, and had a great support system. Now, we connect with clients to bring authenticity into your social media, website, wherever you post photos/videos.
Growing up, Melanie lived in a low-income neighborhood, and Joshua had foster siblings for years. Immersed by a variety of perspectives and stories, we developed a compassion for our neighbors. Now we want to be yours.

“I miss the artistry of photos and videos. It’s great you can pull a camera from your pocket, but it’s too easy nowadays to overlook the balance between light and shadow. Movement and blur. The science of color. The precious moment you choose to click the camera. Quality over Quantity.
I started professionally shooting in 2018, but I've held a camera most of my life. My Bachelor’s degree is in Film Production from FSU, and I have worked many sets in Los Angeles. In recent years, I started volunteering and donating to support displaced communities. From operating showers to working in a probation office, I discovered a newfound passion for supporting my community through time and money. Now, I will use art.”

“I never knew how hard it was to take good photos. Instagram has numbed us to filters and trends, but I have seen Josh take these gorgeous moments with families, weddings, couples, and show how they really felt! People say cameras don’t do it justice, but they clearly didn’t ask Josh for help.
Now he’s great with a camera, but I know people. I’m your personal hype-woman! When we work with you, he doesn’t exist and I’m there to make you look natural, because you already look fabulous. My degree is elementary education and I also find a lot of value in community. Together we can make great art, have a great time, and have better memories.”
