Photography has always
been in my blood
It started when I was a kid, with a disposable camera and a very serious "picture day" with my stuffed animals and dolls. My parents got those photos developed and looked at me like I was crazy. I said — what? It was picture day! That pretty much set the tone for everything that followed.
In my senior year of high school I attended John Casablancas Modeling and Career Center in Pennsylvania, where I was placed in acting and commercial print. I wanted badly to be a runway model — but apparently I was a few inches too short. So I pivoted. I decided to build a model portfolio, then realized pretty quickly that I wanted to be the one behind the camera.
That's where my dad comes in. He had a wedding photography business — confident, hardworking, and so outgoing. He was everything I wanted to be as a business owner. He taught me what he could before he passed away, and my mom — who was his assistant — has carried that knowledge forward and shared it with me. When I was young, he'd have me and my siblings model for his practice shoots. I loved the spotlight back then, but I always came back to wanting to be behind the lens.
"I realized I don't have many photos of him and I in my teenage years and 20's. Those are the years I can't get back. That's why I pour everything into making sure my clients leave with images they'll treasure forever."
— Chell · On portrait photographyThe Why
This business is my
tribute to him
My dad built his photography company with confidence, grit, and passion. He was a businessman in the truest sense. L. Visions Photography is my way of honoring that legacy — and of making sure other families and business owners don't go without the photos that matter.
Losing him made me realize how much a single photograph can carry. A face. A moment. A season of life that never comes back. I want to give my clients those images before it's too late to have them.
On Branding Photography
And branding photography?
That's personal too.
Watching my dad run his business planted something in me — a deep respect for people who bet on themselves and build something from nothing. Entrepreneurs, creators, and business owners pour everything into what they do, and they deserve visuals that reflect that.
Your brand is your story. It's your confidence, your vision, and your hard work made visible. I photograph brands the same way I photograph people — boldly, intentionally, and with purpose. Because whether it's a family portrait or a brand session, what I'm really capturing is you.
"Behind every brand is a story worth telling. Through intentional photography, I help entrepreneurs and creatives show up with confidence, connect with their audience, and build a brand people remember."
— Chell · On branding photographyMy Approach
Guided. Intentional. Real.
Every session includes posing guidance and creative direction. You don't need to know what to do, that's my job. I want you to feel at ease from the moment we connect to the moment you receive your gallery.
Whether it's your brand or a personal portrait, I'm capturing something real, not just pretty pictures, but your actual story told through imagery that lasts.
Every location, angle, and edit is chosen with purpose. From the creative vision to the final delivered image, everything is intentional.

MY FAVORITE THINGS
Other than Photography
Candles & Journaling
A candle burning no matter the time of day, and my journal open every Sunday, these are my reset. They calm my mind, spark my creativity, and give me space to just breathe.
Listening & Creating Music
R&B, Caribbean music, and Afrobeats run through me. Songwriting and creating melodies is pure joy, and it's personal. My mom wrote poetry and my dad played guitar and wrote songs. Music has always been in the family.
The Beach, Yachts & Fancy Cars
Hot sand, crashing waves, wind in my hair, this is my ultimate happy place. Growing up I was always drawn to yachts and luxury cars, and the dream of having my own one day? Still very much alive.
Family Time & Games
Uno, Jenga, Monopoly, video games just to name a few. I love a challenge even if I'm not good at it lol. Nothing beats a holiday dinner and a good game night with the people I love most. All the smiles, the laughter, seeing everyone enjoying themselves is such a beautiful moment.
