TIME TO MEET
THE REAL ME
get to know your photographer, caitlynne
safe to say I keep it 100 on the land, the sea, the sky ; )
Nature obsessed. Rooted in agriculture. Inspired by honest storytelling.
HEY HEY, IT'S ME, CAITLYNNE!
I call Keystone Heights, FL my home, where pets outnumber the humans in my house and rural Florida is never more than a few steps away. I have two degrees in agricultural communications (go gators!) and now teach public speaking at Santa Fe College, which means I can talk crops, conservation, and community… and make it sound good!
If I’m being honest, I started this business completely by accident. I picked up a camera in college just to capture my own memories, and somehow that small moment turned into a full blown love story with photography. What started as a hobby has grown into the most beautiful opportunity to document others’ love stories, milestones, and golden moments.
Family means everything to me, and I’m lucky enough to work alongside my sister Megan, the owner of Dream Makers Events & Rentals. Together, we’ve combined our passions to create truly one of a kind wedding experiences, the kind that are heartfelt, stress free, and full of meaning.
So whether we’re by the lake at golden hour or celebrating your “I do’s,” my goal is simple, to capture your story in a way that feels real, warm, and beautifully you.
"We wanted classy, luxury, but still outdoors to capture natural beauty and she got it all!" - Marisa + David
What I Value + My Mission to You
My mission is to document your celebrations as they unfold in a natural and authentic way and honoring your story with warmth, intention, and transparency.
connection
Building genuine relationships with clients and vendors is at the heart of everything I do. Every session is a partnership built on trust, comfort, and shared vision — because the best photos come from real connection.
care + commitment
From the way I shoot to the way I deliver, I’m committed to creating stunning, high-quality photographs while protecting your memories every step of the way. Your story deserves the utmost attention and care.
inclusivity
Everyone deserves to feel seen, celebrated, and valued. I welcome all backgrounds and identities, ensuring each person’s experience is as meaningful and enjoyable as the images themselves.

my why...
I started photography after having an incredible experience with my own wedding photographer… One that made me feel seen, cared for, and completely at ease. I realized how powerful that experience was, and I wanted to create that same joy and trust for others. I’m tired of hearing horror stories about missed moments or added stress on a day that should feel effortless and meaningful!
Photography allows me to support my family while also giving me a creative outlet within the communications world. This space is my safe haven where storytelling, connection, and emotion take center stage. My goal is simple: to give you an experience you’ll love just as much as the photos themselves. Just like I had!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How long have you been a photographer?
My photography journey is a recent adventure turned passion, beginning in 2023! I captured my first wedding in 2024, and opened a studio in 2026! But, to my core I am a creative and communicator. With both bachelors and master’s degrees in agricultural communications my professional background in marketing, journalism, and brand development has gotten me to this moment, meeting you!
What is your turn around time?
For regular sessions, you’ll have your full gallery ready to slay your Instagram feed in around 3 weeks, and weddings take about 8 weeks to drop. But here’s the fun part—I’ll send you a sneak peek ASAP, so you can start obsessing over the magic we created!
What is your *unpredictable FL* weather policy?
I’m all about embracing the elements and capturing authenticity, rain or shine! As long as we (and my gear) can stay safe, we’ll roll with whatever Mother Nature throws our way! BUT, of course, I do try and work to reschedule when absolutely necessary.
Do you travel?
Absolutely! I’m all about chasing epic adventures with my camera in hand. Help me check these destinations off of my bucket list!
Aspen, Colorado, Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Glacier National Park, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Florida State or National Parks, and the Florida Keys.
Do you edit your photos?
I edit all photos to match my signature style: moody, warm, and natural. I also remove distractions and touch up any obvious blemishes to make sure you look your best. That said, I keep everything as true-to-life as possible. I don’t use Photoshop to alter bodies or make changes to things that are naturally part of the moment. It’s all about celebrating the real, beautiful you!
What do you do with the RAW images?
Think of them as the behind-the-scenes—your final gallery is the real show. I hand-edit every single photo and make sure they’re absolutely chef’s kiss. Don’t worry, I keep the RAWs stored safely on a hard drive, but what you get is the polished, scroll-stopping magic you deserve!
Do you ever have discounts?
Absolutely! But, I do not share sales freely online. They are ONLY available for my loyal email subscribers. I promise not to spam you with unwanted emails, I ONLY send sales, discounts, and giveaways to your inbox!
Do you offer payment plans?
Not only do I offer them, I recommend setting up a payment plan. Of course, for regular sessions a 50% retainer is required to secure your date. For weddings, I just ask for 25%. But, the rest of the payment plans are up to you as long as we are paid off by your day!
Picture this: 21 yr old Caitlynne and her fiancé Tristen trying to plan and pay for a wedding on a college budget. I understand the financial struggle, first hand! But, no matter your budget, or financial needs, you deserve high quality images on your big day, captured by a photographer that understands your needs.
