My Approach

​

With a natural, journalistic approach, I aim to capture those quiet, unposed moments—when time slows down and your true essence shines through. These are the raw, heartfelt memories that stir something deep within, the stories that can’t be told in words but only felt in the soul.

​

Location

I love shooting in natural light, whether it’s in a scenic park, on the beach, or in an urban space with character. Wherever we choose, I’m happy to suggest beautiful locations in and around the Treasure Coast of Florida - especially my hometown of Vero Beach. During our conversations, we’ll discuss your vision and find the perfect setting for your portraits.

​

Your Personality

The best portraits reflect your personality. My goal is to capture not just a moment, but the real you. Whether you want timeless, classic portraits or something more creative—like capturing the magic of childhood or a special activity you love to do together—I’ll work with you to craft images that feel uniquely yours.

​

Clothing

What you wear is an important part of the session. I suggest avoiding busy patterns or logos to keep the focus on you. During our consultation, I’ll offer guidance on clothing choices, especially for family portraits, to ensure everything harmonizes beautifully with the location and vibe of the session.

​

Children & Families

Family sessions are full of playfulness, and that’s when the real magic happens. I take a patient, flexible approach with children, allowing them to be themselves while also guiding them for a few focused shots. Some of my favorite moments are when kids are simply enjoying their time, unposed and natural.

​

Your Images

Your final collection will include ALL of the images from our session together. You’ll receive an online gallery, available for 4 weeks, where you can download your images, create products such as canvases, prints, etc., or easily share them on social media.

​

Referrals

I love working with new clients! If you refer someone to Hodge Photography and they book a session, you’ll receive a $25 gift certificate toward your next session.
