The Girl Who Calls The Shots
Noelle St. Laurent is the artist and owner of Photos by Milestone, based in Tampa Bay, Florida.
Personal Life
I’ve been an artist for as long as I can remember—paintbrush in one hand, camera in the other. Photography became my way of collecting the memories that make life rich.
I’m not big on stuff—I’m a simple kind of gal who’d rather skip the clutter. But photo albums? Polaroids? Birthday cards and thank-you notes? Those are sacred. Everyone in my family has a memory box, and mine is overflowing with the little things that matter most.
Now, as a mom, wife, cat lover, and chronic saver of sentimental moments, I find even more beauty in the in-between.
I thrive on teary eyes, joyful chaos, and those “we really did this” just-married moments. Weddings are my zen—I show up early, stay organized, and bring the kind of energy that feels both grounding and encouraging. This job is never just a transaction to me. I care deeply. I’ll fix your veil, hype you up, and probably cry during your vows.
Whether we’re capturing your first kiss or your hundredth, I want you to feel seen, supported, and celebrated. No stiff poses, no factory process—just honest storytelling with heart.
As a proud Navy brat, Noelle is grateful for military families and proudly offers a 10% discount to all military customers.
How It Feels to Work with Photos by Milestone
My approach is simple: real moments, gently guided. I lean into a documentary style with just enough direction to help you feel confident and natural in front of the camera. Nothing stiff, nothing forced—just playful prompts, a few bad jokes, and plenty of space for genuine connection to shine through.
I’ll guide you when needed and step back when it matters most. Whether we’re sneaking away for golden hour portraits or wrangling the entire family for formal photos, I’m calm, organized, and (when needed) not afraid to get loud to keep things moving.
Just give me a list of must-have family shots, and I’ll help keep everyone nearby so we can breeze through that part of the day and get you to cocktail hour—stat.
Editing, Delivery, & Sneak Peeks
You’ll receive 30–50 hand-edited photos per hour of coverage, with full gallery delivery in about 30 days. Some galleries need a little extra love, and I’ll always keep you in the loop. I post my editing queue on Instagram Stories a couple times a week, and you can always message me to check in—I'm great at staying connected.
You can also opt in for a sneak peek if you want a few favorites sooner (and trust me, you’ll want them).
A Style That Feels Like Home
My editing style is warm, true-to-color, and timeless—think dreamy light, cozy tones, and romantic vibes without ever losing the authenticity of the moment. I love close-up, emotional shots that feel like you, living the moment all over again.
Working with My Team
Photos by Milestone is more than just me—with me, you’ll often meet my lovely second shooter, videographer, and assistant. We’re a small, close-knit team with a shared love for storytelling, good energy, and a supportive presence on your big day.
No egos, no stress—just a fun-loving crew here to support you, keep things flowing, and make the experience feel effortless (and maybe even fun—imagine that!).
We’re not just taking photos—we’re telling your story.
Ready when you are.
