    Boudoir Shoot

    I scheduled a boudoir session for an anniversary gift for my husband. I was so nervous but I messaged Jaime several times and she eased my worries. On the day of the shoot, I took a robe to wear between shoots and ended up not wearing it once as Jaime made the environment very comfortable and very judgement-free. I am a fluffy girl that is usually self-conscience but I felt so comfortable. She made sure any shots I wanted were in there and we were as modest or not as I was comfortable with. When I got the proofs in I was in awe with how good I looked and I wanted to show everyone! I got my book in and I can't wait to give it to my husband for our anniversary next week!

    Superb photography

    Jaime and Jenna were incredibly efficient and clearly experienced with photographing weddings with tight schedules. I felt very at ease during wedding preparation because they knew what they were doing. Jaime was thorough in capturing the moments I requested and helpful in suggesting poses or pictures I had not even thought of. We were nervous about our formal family photos because my husband and I have large families, plus we had COVID considerations, but they seriously made it a breeze. We are incredibly grateful to have hired Sweet Serendipity!!!

    A family business that treats clients like family, too

    Sweet Serendipity creates its namesake with its clients. From our enchanted engagement pictures in a local bookstore to our Shakespearean wedding across two venues, Jaime and Jenna were competent, creative, and calming presences. No question went unanswered. No idea was ever shut down or avoided. Jaime went out of her comfort zone with our first meeting, but the results were gorgeous because she put weeks' worth of effort into the editing process. The duo, complete with a bright and can-do attitude'd daughter, gave excellent directions so Max and I knew where to stand, how to pose, whom to face, etc. They made the family portraits a streamlined and quick process, when it could've easily taken hours. They were organized and protective of us when the staff at our venue was reneging on previously-promised flash photography allowance, and accommodated us with every little Pinterest-inspired look or posturing. I can't wait to see my first look pictures, and I would not have felt comfortable sharing such a personal moment with anyone else. We are so grateful that, despite family tragedy, Jaime and Jenna persevered and made our day so seamless and special. We will forever be grateful for their innovation, jokes, and guidance.

    Extremely professional and delivers an amazing product...

    Jaime from Sweet Serendipity is amazing. She has a great personality that indicates she knows what she is doing... and this makes you instantly relax so that she can get the best posed pictures and candid pictures of your event. Her portfolio boasts so many venues and locations and it’s clear that she is talented at capturing those magic moments. I would hire her over and over again, I couldn’t be happier with the photos and experience that she was able to capture for us.

    Boudoir Photoshoot

    I had the pleasure of working with Jaime for my boudoir shoot after my wedding. She was very flexible and willing work with me to help me keep this secret from my wife. Her and her team made me feel very comfortable and sexy. I had a blast and she made me feel like I was at home. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. They are very friendly and helpful.

    Jaime was an absolute dream to work with. From the moment I met her I knew I had made the right choice. She was so thorough in her quest to understand my vision. I love that she connected with me on Pinterest to follow my wedding boards. Her surveys were fun to fill out and so helpful for communicating and being on the same page when it came to my big day. And the big day was PERFECT. Jaime and Jenna were so fun, professional, and efficient. Our wedding truly went so smoothly because of Jaime. And don't think I forgot about the pictures themselves: They were AMAZING. So beautiful and I will treasure them forever. They say if there's one thing you want to get right for your wedding, it's the photographer, and trust me, picking Jaime is definitely the right thing!!!

    I could not have asked for a better wedding photography experience! Jaime made my wedding day go incredibly smoothly. We met with her beforehand because we had an intimate wedding of 20 people and so I wanted to make sure we all vibed so that she would be an appropriate addition for our special day. I am glad that our first impression was spot on. She is a wonderful human being who made our wedding super easy and stress free. She is so organized and prepared with questionnaires beforehand that your day is guaranteed to go well. We opted for a second photographer as well which ended up being her sister and they were the cutest!

    Because of our small event, we didn't have an entirely thought out plan about how the day would go and they helped it go the best. They were flexible while also offering their expertise. They even picked our mother/son and father/daughter dance song. They were additionally wonderful guests and a pleasure to have as a part of our special day. I cannot wait to see how the photos turned out but after she sent us a few stunning captures (that were taken with a phone!) I am confident that they will be nothing less than spectacular!

    In sum, they are amazing human beings whose enthusiasm for their work is overwhelmingly evident and inspiring.

    I used Sweet Serendipity Photography for my boudoir photos and I could not have been happier! Jaime has such a great personality and made any nerves or anxiety I had completely disappear. I had a wonderful experience and Jaime made the entire process so easy - she even suggested hair and makeup artists that I could work with before my shoot with her. I was so happy to have found her and I would recommend her to anyone!

As a make-up artist, I have known Jaime for many years now and have seen her work in-depth. I have also had the pleasure of working with her on a photo shoot. She has taken personal photos of my children that I am very happy with, even years later. Her work is impeccable and her level of professionalism is near the highest I have seen and worked with. She is very knowledgeable with what shots are going to look great and works with the client--be that a bride, model or children during shoots to make the client happy. I keep track of her work on her site and Facebook page and am always greatly impressed by her bridal work. She has won awards on The Knot magazine and rightly so, as she is widely known throughout North Central Florida and beyond for engagement, bridal and child photography. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a great bridal photographer in the North Central Florida area or anywhere else!
