About Me
Born and raised in Minnesota, I’ve always been drawn to the tropical beauty of the Caribbean—sometimes I think I was meant to live in Florida. Bright, vibrant color is my style, inspired by the places I love most.
I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a mom of three and wife to my incredibly supportive husband, Doug—this business wouldn’t be possible without him. By day, I work as a UX designer; in the evenings and on weekends, I’m a mom and photographer.
Art and design have always been at the heart of who I am. I studied graphic design and continue to grow my skills in both design and photography. For over ten years, I’ve been building this business—evolving my style, refining my approach, and investing in my craft (including my Canon 5D Mark IV, which I absolutely love).
I’m a lifelong learner, constantly taking classes and exploring new techniques to keep improving.
What I love most is capturing real moments, genuine eмоtions, and meaningful connections. I love working with families, meeting new people, and bringing images to life through editing.
I’d love to help you create beautiful artwork for your home and preserve the moments that matter most.
Reach out anytime to schedule a session—I'm happy to chat about your goals, styling, and ideas. I can’t wait to meet you.
Hello I’m Josie Malecha
