About
Life is made of moments, and some are too important to let fade. As a dedicated portrait and engagement photographer with 12 years in business, I’m here to preserve those moments with care and intention.
Working one-on-one with you, I’ll create authentic, meaningful images that feel like real chapters from your life story—not just posed pictures. As a solo photographer, you’ll always know who you’re working with and who is behind the camera.
Your photographs will become lasting reminders you can treasure and share for years to come. If you’re ready to capture this season of your life, I’d be honored to help tell your story through photographs. Let’s start planning your session.

My parents came into town from Maryland to celebrate the holidays, and my mom's birthday happened to be during that time. My father and I decided to surprise her with a beach photoshoot. We had never done one before, and Anita's professionalism and passion made the experience memorable and comfortable. Additionally, the package pricing was a great value for the money, as we were very pleased with the quality of our photos. I highly recommend South Strand Life for all your photography needs.
Details: Family or children's portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Outdoors • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is a flat rate for the session, which includes my time to take the photos and to do a basic edit on them. I will upload them to an online gallery for viewing by the client.
Most packages deliver the best of every pose and grouping taken in the session.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When a client books on my site, there is usually a questionnaire to fill out, with questions pertinent to the session they're booking. Those answer will give me an idea up front on a lot of details I need.
I will then reach out via the email address provided and provide them with my *******.
If they do not have any further questions, I will touch base with them a few days before their session to iron out details.
After the session, and the gallery is posted, I provide the client with the link via email and ask them to choose their favorites that will make up their included digital images. After they select, I make those available for download.
It usually takes a week to get the gallery edited and posted.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am entirely self taught with online courses by high end professionals in the field.
