Hi, I'm Justiss!
First thanks for coming all the way out in the Internet world to check me out! That is awesome! I'm beyond happy!
Second, I am a lifestyle family and portrait photographer here in Palm Coast! I love working with families of small children who love to have fun and play! My favorite thing, is documenting the lives of the families I come into contact with - it is simply amazing.
Let me tell you a little about myself.
I picked up my first SLR camera way back in the mid 90's when I took a black and white photography college class while in my Junior year of highschool... guess that show's my age. I never looked back! My roots are firmly planted in film where I spent many hours in a darkroom! And boy was I bad! I was so horrible that the instructor refused to teach me anymore! I still laugh about this! But, only because I'm stubborn - I kept reading and clicking away until I got it.
Well here I am almost 20 years later and I'm a great photographer, but definitely still learning and I've even got a digital camera. I'm also now a mamma and a wife and love every bit of it! I've also lost 60lbs!!! Whoohooo! I've got a few more pounds to knock off, but that is a major accomplishment in my life and I can't wait to check more off my list.
My style is fun. I primarily shoot lifestyle & styled on-location (which usually means outdoors), and my favorite subjects are and have always been kids!!!! Um, how adorbs are they, seriously! Funny enough though, a lot of my inspiration comes from fashion photographers. I'm seriously style-crushing on Terry Richardson right now! His images aren't too well liked in the photographer community, but have you seen the Candee's ads with Lea Michele? Um... hello they are gorgeous!!
My other photographer crush is Annie Leibovitz. Her images are iconic. And I seriously have fallen in love with the shoot she did with Kirsten Dunst for the Marie Antoinette film by Sofia Coppola. So GORGEOUS. She also did a whole serious of celebrities in Disney World characters and Queen Latifa is AMAZINGLY GORGEOUS!
So let's talk about you!
When was the last time you had a cool family portrait? Have you ever wanted to learn more about taking pictures of your own kids? Are you looking for a creative release? Have you made an extraordinary accomplishment this year or last, ready to celebrate it? Are your kids silly? Mine is! Even at 13, she is still the silliest kid I know!
No matter the reason why you are here today, please look around and enjoy and if you are ever interested give me a call so we can take some really awesome family portraits!!
Yay!
