Hi, I'm Jontel Chere
I'm so glad you're here! We are going to have a lot of fun getting to know each other. I'm not your typical business gal, I'll start our conversations as I naturally speak... meaning no phony crap!! I will talk to you like I've known you for years. A photographer that says and does from the heart rather than be a cookie cutter. I live in big tees and leggings during the day, thrift weekly + talk to my dog, Nori, in code words. I have to use two towels after a shower + eat dessert for breakfast, and breakfast for dinner. Olipop is my drink, just know that is ALWAYS the answer. I am a 70s-90s music enthusiast and ice cream connoisseur. You'll find me tucked away in a cute 70s Olde Florida home with my husband and our daughter, scaring him by popping out of hiding spots and contact napping with her! I photograph the non-traditional, happy in love, unapologetically authentic couples. Those sweet in-between moments and all the goofing around! We'll have you playing childhood games and embracing like one of those rom-com scenes in the middle of an airport. Know what I'm talking about? The ones where the two people in love go to walk their separate directions, but end up turning around running towards the others arms! I'm a thrill seeker, so let's adventure. I wanna meet you!
my promise to you
I got you! I want you to know that. From the moment you inquire to the moment I begin photographing your session/wedding, I got you! Need guidance, recs on vendors, or my humble opinion on your color scheme? Sure thing! Want me to meet with you for a tour of the venue? I gotchu! Forgot your shoes in the car? Sit down! I don't run, but I walk reallllly fast. Does your hairstylist need a helping hand? Here's mine... I'll hold a chunk of hair in one hand, while shooting with the other! Point is, I want your session/wedding day to run as smoothly as possible. I want to make sure you know that no matter the circumstances of the day, I can handle it! Your worries, are my solutions. You're inviting me along to capture moments for a lifetime, that's some real stuff! It takes guts to be vulnerable with a 3rd-wheel + all the things I'll have you two doing (some goofy, some intimate.) I'll provide you with a questionnaire to get to know you before your session/wedding day. This is also a space for ALL lovers- every gender, lgbtq, bipoc, every religion, etc. This gal has your back. You're more than just a client, you're my friend. And friends don't let friends down- I got you!!
