I photograph engagement sessions throughout Tampa and the surrounding areas, offering relaxed, romantic experiences that help couples feel CONFIDENT and connected.
Overthinking every move.
Feeling stiff or unsure.
Hoping you’ll like at least one photo.
Being gently guided.
Relaxing into each other.
Laughing and actually enjoying the moment.
They’re the photos on your save-the-dates.
The ones on your wedding website.
The images that introduce your love story to everyone you care about.
You want to look at them and think,
“That feels like us.”
And genuinely LOVE how you look in them.
I get that. I’ve been there too.
That’s why I guide you every step of the way.
No guessing. No stiff posing. No pressure to get it “right.”
Just gentle direction, encouragement, and space to slow down and actually enjoy being together.
My heart is to help you feel calm, confident, and completely yourself, so you walk away with photos you’re proud to share and confidence that carries straight into your wedding photographs.
If you want engagement photos that feel natural and romantic, you’re in the right place.
That’s a scary thought.
Over-edited skin tones. Forced poses. Trends that don’t age well.
What if they don’t listen? What if they rush us? What if they miss what matters?
We love each other deeply, but what if this feels forced instead of natural?
I’ve never felt confident in photos. What if I still don’t recognize myself?
You don’t need to be more photogenic. You don’t need to know how to pose. And you don’t need to figure any of this out on your own.
Because of that, you relax.
Your shoulders drop.
You stop thinking about the camera.
You cuddle closer.
You kiss a little longer.
You laugh more easily.
And for a moment, wedding planning fades into the background.
It’s the first step in a confident photography experience that carries all the way into your wedding day.
Instead of hoping for a few good photos, you walk away knowing, “Wow… if this felt this relaxed and fun, our wedding day will too.” That's what Asti & Christian had to say after their engagement experience.
"Sharon’s guidance with poses made us feel relaxed. Her hype and good sense of humor made the whole experience super fun and gave us confidence to be ourselves."
"Sharon gave helpful direction and ideas, which helped us find our vision and have less to worry about. She captured some of the best photos of us we’ve ever had."

"I was nervous for approximately 7 seconds while I realized that she is every bit as real and amazing in person as she appears on Zoom. She will somehow manage to make EVERY photo a breathtaking work of art; it will be impossible to pick a favorite, I promise you that! "
My husband and I have never felt comfortable in front of the camera, but Sharon guided us so effortlessly and made us feel at ease. The results are stunning. She truly captured the joy, the connection, and the real moments."
"I can’t even tell you how absolutely in love we are with our engagement sneak peeks. I truly cannot stop looking at them! They are more beautiful than I ever imagined.
You captured us so perfectly
and made the whole experience feel so natural and special."
- Asti & Christian
Sharon knows exactly what she’s doing when she’s taking photos and was so sweet and kind in telling us exactly how to pose, where to look, and providing so many words of encouragement to make us feel more confident that we looked good. After this experience, I knew without a doubt that we had picked the best photographer for our wedding!
- Martha & Stephen
Sharon is amazing! She did our engagement photos, and they turned out even better than I could have ever imagined! This was my first time getting professionally photographed, and I was so scared since I don't like getting my picture taken, but Sharon made it fun and stress-free. She has a way to help you relax, and you end up enjoying this important time with your significant other.
- Ireana & Dan
Sharon photographed our engagement session, and I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the sneak peeks. The photos came out PERFECT! The whole experience also surpassed any expectations we had! It was our first time ever getting professionally photos done and her guidance with the poses made us feel relaxed and at ease throughout the session.
Not just so you leave with beautiful photographs, but so you feel CONFIDENT, seen, and deeply loved every time you look at them.
“I don’t like being photographed.”
“I’m worried I’ll feel awkward.”
“I just hope I get one good photo.”
“I’m scared I won’t like how I look.”
“I don’t want to feel rushed or unsure.”
“She made us feel confident.”
“She told us exactly what to do.”
“I loved every single image.”
"OMG!! WE look so beautiful!"
“She made it fun and stress-free.”
I created this wedding photography experience because I know how vulnerable it can feel to be in front of the camera. To wonder if you’ll look relaxed, confident, and like yourself in a season that means so much.
I guide intentionally, encourage constantly, and protect your experience, so your engagement photos don’t feel forced or trendy, but honest, romantic, and deeply you.
You didn’t feel stiff, and you weren’t overthinking. You were just with your person, laughing, relaxing, and being yourselves.
Then comes the next favorite part. The text. The ALL-CAPS, slightly unhinged “OH MY GOSH” message when you get your sneak peeks.
When you see yourselves the way I saw you the whole time. Confident, connected, and so in love. That moment tells me everything.
It tells me you trusted the process.
It tells me you felt guided and cared for.
It tells me you finally see how beautiful YOU & your relationship truly are.
Those reactions never get old for me. Because they’re not just about the photos. They’re about knowing that when your wedding day comes, you’ll walk into it already trusting me completely and feeling excited instead of nervous. That’s my favorite part. Every single time. 🤍
You'll stop worrying about how you will look.
You'll stop second-guessing if you know what to do.
You'll stop wondering if you will like at least one photo.

Let’s chat, my friend. No pressure. Just a conversation to see if this feels right.
If you’re wondering whether this guided photography experience is right for you, this is where clarity happens.
The WOW Engagement Experience Guide walks you through exactly what to expect from a guided, confidence-first engagement session. Inside, you’ll learn why engagement sessions matter, how to choose the right location, what to wear, how I guide you during your session, and how this experience prepares you to feel calm, confident, and fully present on your wedding day. It’s designed to remove uncertainty, build trust, and help you walk away knowing you’re going to love your photographs.
For engagement session you'll receive anywhere from 50-100 stunning images.
I deliver a quality gallery full of variety ranging from photos that show off the gorgeous nature landscapes with you both as the focal point all the way to the small, sweet, intricate details like your engagement ring!
I always recommend starting your session about at sunrise or 2 hours before sunset! This soft, glowy light is the most flattering and is absolutely magical!! I'll always send you my opinion on when we should start based on your location!! Time's differ between the beach and a more woodsy/ garden location!
You'll receive your full gallery of edited photos within 2 weeks of your session date! Wanna know a secret? I also send sneak peeks within 48 hours of your session, so you don't have to wait the full 2 weeks before seeing some of your gorgeous images!
Of course!! I love including your sweet pets! We can start off the session with these images, and possibly have a family member or friend join us so they can care for your pet!! We usually only need about 10-15 minutes with your fur baby to get really sweet images!!
No worries at all!! We can simply reschedule our session for another date!! I keep a number of dates available just for this kind of situation! We can keep on eye on the weather up till your session date and decide what we should do anywhere from 12-72 hours in advance!
Because our weekends are typically full of weddings and family time, I only do engagement sessions on weekdays, Monday, Tuesday, & Thursdays!! Weekend dates are available subject to availability and an additional fee.
Many couples like to do photos 6 months-1 year before the wedding for Save-the-Dates and a wedding website. Others like to wait until closer to the date. If you're unsure, find a season that is easier on your schedule and allows for cooler weather!!
Your engagement session is the PERFECT time to go ahead and get that hair and makeup trial done before the wedding day so you can see how it looks in person and in photos!! However, it is not a must. I'd recommend doing what works best for YOU.
No worries at all!! Honestly, most people aren't!! Including myself without direction!! ;) I'll be there to help guide you along every step of the way! My couples are always surprised to find out how easy and fun the photo-taking process is!! We always have a great time together!
