hey!
i’m luca.
i’m the one whose eyes can’t leave the sunset, the one who will push you to dance in the rain, — the secret hopeless romantic.
i’m your storytelling, mountain-climbing, shower-singing, stress-baking artist that found life behind the lens.
i’m the one who can’t help but find you beautiful — & as your photographer, I get to show you how perfect the creases by your eyes look when you’re belly-laughing.
those candid seconds of what I like to call
“free joy”. — are everything.
you ever notice the way ‘the one your soul loves’ looks at you?
i do. let me show you.
xoxo
love letters! forever grateful!

“I did a couples shoot with Luca and I wouldn’t change a thing about the whole experience! She was quick to respond, provided countless prompts for us the day of pictures, and has such a fun personality! Her ability to capture the pure essence of us was incredible. We will cherish the photos forever. It was all perfect, I will absolutely be recommending her to others!”

“Luca did a great job with our family photos! She had good ideas for poses, was patient with our very rambunctious 3 year old, and got some really nice candid shots as well! I am incredibly satisfied with the quality of the photos, and you absolutely cannot beat the value. I would recommend her to family and friends.”

it’s what emily dickinson was reminiscing on when she wrote ‘wild nights.’ it’s the reason she thinks the world is hers when she wears the red dress. it’s the stuff of dreams & pearls & whispers.
visual poetry. genuine connection. raw emotion. works of art. cinematic storytelling.
it’s everything you ever wanted.Frequently Asked Questions
do you provide videography?
nope! BUT - I can provide you recommendations for some of the best in the biz.
I’ve developed a unique style of photography that is deeply rooted in photojournalism bleeding into documentary style, while influenced by fine-art and romantic photography. I LOVE creative lighting, unique perspectives, angles, and artistic post-production to bring out my clients’ personalities & beauty while telling their amazing story! I pride myself artistry & expressive imagery. To see examples, please visit my gallery.
what is your photography style?
oooooooohhhhhh yes. Up to this point, I’ve never lost an image I didn’t want to lose.
During our session, I shoot on two SD cards so there are two copies of your photos at all times in case of a freak accident and one card fails. Immediately after our session, I back-up the images to a local hard-drive, as well as an offsite hard-drive. At any given point, there are two copies in two different locations.
do you back up our images?
do you provide unedited RAW files?
I don’t! At the RAW state the images don’t yet represent my photography. Part of what you’ve invested in me is my post-processing!
when will I get my pictures back?
This depends on the season! For my wedding clients: 6-8 weeks. For portrait sessions, I estimate 3-4 weeks. I’ll always give you the most current estimation at the end of our session!
why do I need to hire a professional?
Give this brilliant blog post by Stilwell Photography and Films a read ;)

where are you based? do you travel?
I’m based in the beautiful naples, florida - but I’ll hop on a plane worldwide to bring your love to life.
There’s no set number I guarantee, because every wedding and every session is so completely different. But I’m a chronic ‘overshooter,’ and I’ve never had a client say they didn’t get enough. During our consultation let me know if you’d like to see some complete galleries to get a feel for my deliverables.
how many photos do I get?
You receive the high-res edited images via a beautiful password protected online gallery (the site I use is called ‘Pixieset’) where you can download them to your computer, as well as share with friends and family. You and the ones you love can order ridiculously good gorgeous products off the site such as prints, albums, & cards. Make sure your photos don’t die on a hard drive :)
