I don't just take your photo. I show you who you really are.
I'm Odette, a Miami-based portrait photographer, personal brand creator, and heirloom restoration artist.
I've worked with 150+ entrepreneurs, professionals, and creatives across South Florida, and the thing I hear most after a session isn't about the photos. It's: "I actually had fun."
That's the whole point.
Most people walk into a photo session dreading it. They think they're not photogenic, that they'll look stiff, that somehow the camera will expose every insecurity they have.
I've been there.
I hired a photographer once and walked away with photos that were technically fine, but they weren't 'me'.
The experience felt awkward and staged, and I knew right then the kind of photographer I never wanted to be.
So I built something different. A session where you feel safe enough to actually be yourself.
"Odette is one of those rare photographers who delivers incredible photos while also putting you at ease from the minute you meet her. If you want the best, most easygoing portrait experience, hire her."
— Nicole Appuzo
I came here with a dream.
Ten years ago, I left Cuba and moved to the United States without my family, without a roadmap, and without a guarantee that it would work out.
What I had was resilience and a deep love for people, and decided to become a photographer.
Photography taught me to see beauty everywhere… even in ordinary moments, even beneath the surface. Building this business taught me that the best thing you can give someone isn't a perfect photo. It's the feeling that they were truly seen.
I want to create my legacy by helping others document theirs. Every session I do, every image I deliver, every family photo I restore. It's all part of that mission.
Now I have my sister and my niece with me. And now I get to show them that women can build something of their own, on their own terms.
That's what this business means to me.
"Odette truly stands out. Her love for her craft is evident in every photo. What she creates is truly more than photography. It's art."
— Peter Zhang, Esq., Origin Law P.C.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Here's what working with me actually looks like.
You show up. I handle everything else. You don't need to know how to pose, or what to wear or how to "do" a photo session. You just need to be there.
Come as you are.
Let your hair down.
drink wine and dance,
or do whatever makes you happy.
We'll talk, we'll laugh, and somewhere in the middle of all that, you'll forget the camera is even there.
That's when the real photos happen.

A few things you should know.
I'm an ambivert... quiet until you spark a conversation, then I won't stop talking.
I'm a night owl who does her best work after dark.
