I'm Angelica Maria,
& this is my creative story.
I'm a self-taught Creative specializing in styled photography, personalized design, prints, & all sorts of creative content. While I enjoy doing what I'm crazy passionate about, I get to teach others the importance of Photography and Design, & how valuable they can be for them & their business in digital & tangible forms. I've always been a creative-at-heart (musician of the keys, creative writer) but it was when I picked up a camera 11 years ago that I started to pursue my creative calling as a Photographer.
With each click of the shutter, I fell more in love with the picture-taking process & everything photography had to offer, which for me was like having THE WORLD at my fingertips (literally, what it feels like to hold a camera). Making a camera my main creative tool allowed me to SEE & CREATE in ways I never could before. Throughout 11 years of learning my craft, I began to turn my passion into my profession through personal projects, collaborations, & just plain creating. This hobby took a shift as I began to change my perspective on creating. I didn't want to create just for myself but for others. So I started pursuing the business side of photography, & so far, it's been an incredible journey that is nowhere near complete.
A lifestyle full of sunshine, creativity & faith.
How I love living a coastal lifestyle, especially a Florida one! Being born & raised in the Sunshine State, the beach & ocean have always been my go-to creative inspiration. Other than calling the beach my second space to create, my home studio is where I create on-the-daily. It's a simple space that reflects my life with my favorite Florida-inspired details, a loud love for color, & a whole lot of warm Florida sunshine.

I'm learning that the simple things in life (sunshine on your face, a walk in the park, home-cooked meals) are the most beautiful, and should be captured & celebrated more often. (ref. Ecclesiastes 11:7-10)
