Looking for a photographer in Sarasota who captures your story in a meaningful and beautiful way? You're in the right place.
My approach to portrait photography is all about authenticity and connection. I believe the best photos come from moments that are unscripted and genuine—whether it's a child's infectious laughter, a family's playful interaction, or the tender anticipation of a soon-to-be mom.
As a lifestyle photographer, I focus on capturing those real moments and emotions that make your story unique.
It's not just about getting the perfect pose; it's about documenting the love, the joy, and even the little quirks that make your family who they are. Whether I'm photographing kids being kids, couples in love, graduating senior, or a glowing mom-to-be, my goal is to create images that reflect your true self.
I also specialize in engagement and surprise proposal photography.
These once-in-a-lifetime moments deserve to be remembered in all their candid glory, from the heartfelt proposal to the celebration that follows. I'll be there to capture every spontaneous emotion and joyous moment, ensuring your love story is beautifully preserved.
So, if you're searching for a photographer in Sarasota, FL, who will capture your story in a way that feels real and true to you, let's chat. I would love to help you preserve these memories for a lifetime.

“Jonelle did an amazing job with our surprise engagement photo shoot. From the moment I got in contact with Jonelle, she was extremely responsive and aided in planning, and carrying out the surprise engagement. She captured such beautiful pictures of the big day. She also got us back several sneak peak photos later the same evening. I would highly recommend Jonelle for anyone looking for an experienced photographer near Sarasota, Florida!“

“Jonelle not only takes beautiful pictures, she’s also a beautiful person. She arrived right on time and started working quick. In the midst of wedding caos, she remained calm, helpful and taking lots of pictures.
It was so lovely having her as our wedding photographer. Through out our wedding she made sure we didn’t miss any pictures and was on point with our timeline. Couldn’t have asked for a better person/photographer for our special day.
She also did our engagement session. This just reassured us she was definitely the right person for us. I recommend her not only for her gorgeous work, but for her professionalism, dedication and passion.Thank you Jonelle, we are forever grateful.“

“I highly recommend Jonelle for any of your photo needs. I live up in NH and my now fiancée had a favorite beach in Florida I wanted to propose to her at. Having never been to the area I had no idea where to go or what to do. I called Jonelle and she spent more than an hour on the phone with me coordinating and planning this special moment. She told me exactly where to go, gave me a layout of the area, and explained exactly what she would provide too as a photographer. Just that alone was worth getting her involved. I went from very nervous to excited for the moment because of her help. Then on the day of the event she was able to hide herself and caught my fiancées and I special moment together as a surprise. We then did an engagement photo shoot and she was super easy to work with. And to top it all off her photos are incredible, she’s provided over 40 pictures, and she’s super easy to get in contact with. If you’re looking for a surprise proposal, a wedding , or really anything, Jonelle is the photographer you want to go with!“

“Jonelle is amazing! She was a great communicator through the whole process and was responsive and flexible when we needed to make a late schedule change. She came very prepared and was a joy to work with during the shoot. I could not be happier with how the pictures turned out - she even got my 22-month old daughter to smile in most of the photos! We will cherish these forever. Thank you again!“
