Permits totally depend on location, but always check for permit requirements for any historical sites or museums. For example, Cummer Museum and Gardens requires a permit for shooting and you can only shoot on certain dates & times!

What is the biggest piece of advice you’d give to an incoming photographer?

Reach out to make friends with local photographers! The photographer community here is generally super supportive!

I HAVE A LITTLE SOMETHING FOR YOU!

more about me

I've been navigating military life with my family since 2008. In that time, I went from a full-time classroom teacher to an online course designer to a photographer. Actually, I still teach a little math on the side because I just love it too much!

Through it all, I've discovered how passionate I am about connecting with military families. Whether it's taking photos at a retirement ceremony, coaching a fellow milspouse photographer, or just grabbing coffee with a new squadron friend, I love this community. And as a teacher at heart, I'm excited to use this space to share what I've learned about business and life with you.

I'M ERIN.
