Meet Floydeen – Capturing Moments With Heart

Yes, my name is unique—just like the way I see the world through my lens. Growing up as the only Floydeen I knew, I often felt different, but over time, I realized that being different is a gift. It’s what allows me to see the beauty in the little moments—the quiet smiles, the tearful embraces, the love that exists in between the big milestones.


My journey into photography started at 17, but it wasn’t until I became a mother that I truly understood the power of preserving memories. Becoming a mom so young shaped me, teaching me to treasure the fleeting moments, the ones that pass by too quickly. That’s when I picked up my first professional camera—and from that moment on, I knew this was my calling.


Im More Than Just a Photographer

I don’t just take pictures; I tell stories. Your story. Whether it’s a wedding, a family session, or a simple moment of love captured in time, I pour my heart into every shot. When you work with me, you’re not just getting a photographer—you’re getting someone who feels deeply, who sees the emotion behind the moment, and who knows how much these memories will mean years from now.


When I moved to Washington in 2013, I found myself drawn to weddings. Brides connected with my energy—laid-back and fun, yet deeply intentional about every detail. Weddings are filled with once-in-a-lifetime moments, and I cherish the trust my couples place in me to capture them. Before weddings, I was a family photographer, so I truly feel at home in both worlds. Whether it’s the excitement of a wedding day or the intimate magic of a family session, my approach remains the same: to create images that are real, heartfelt, and timeless.


Let's Create Something Beautiful

When you book me, expect laughter, ease, and a photography experience that feels natural and joyful. I believe the best photos come from genuine connection, which is why I love getting to know my clients.


Let’s meet for coffee or hop on a call—if you’re out of state, let’s FaceTime!


Your moments deserve to be remembered, not just in photographs but in the way they make you feel every time you look back at them. Let’s capture your story together.


I can’t wait to meet you!
