Hi there! I’m Calandre Jane (CJ)
Photographer, nanny, newborn care specialist, cat mom, aunt, and more I am sure <3
I purchased my first film SLR camera and macro lens while in high school. I loved to photograph the little details in things I saw that normally people woudn’t stop to look, see, and/or appreciate.
In college, I dove deep into the darkroom for the love of all things film photography and alternative processing.
This continues to be such a deep love of mine and I would excitedly accept a request for a session shot on film.
When I finally returned home to good Ol’ Tampa Bay, I ended up making a home for myself and my beloved furry soulmate, Scotch Cat. Our bond was truely magical from the very day we met.
Now fast forwarding a few years later, my precious nephew was born and BAM…life…changing.
It was him that opened my eyes to how crazy amazing tiny little humans are and I pursued a job photographing so many more amazing babies during their first days of life in hospital and also began as a nanny for ages ranging from 4months-5years.
So, here we are, with me bundling all my passions together to create lasting memories for YOU.
I love to have my images true to color and vibrant. I also love a good contrasty black and white image.
