I’m Dulce Olivia. Wife, mom of six (yes, as in 6), and photographer. I’m drawn to golden light, slow mornings, and the moments that happen in between- the laughter, the closeness, the little things that make a season yours.

When people ask what I do, I like to keep it simple; I take pretty pictures. It’s a simple answer, but it holds everything I love about my work. Since 2013, I’ve been photographing families and couples’ most beautiful, and meaningful seasons throughout Southwest Florida. I love creating images that feel artful and intentional, while still looking and feeling like you.

My faith in Jesus grounds me, and my family is my why. I’m originally from Texas, but Florida is home for the last twenty-four years.

A few little things about me; my favorite colors are black & olive. I am chronically online and quote TikTok sounds too often. My husband & I have watched “The Office” from start to finish an ungodly number of times in the 20 years we’ve been together. Thanks for stopping by, stay a while & get in touch!
