Hi, I’m Mia, it’s so nice to meet you.
I’m a photographer and artist of 15+ years living in Southwest Florida. I earned my degree in Photographic Sciences and Advertising & Public Relations from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2021.

After graduation, I moved to Denver, CO, where I began my career in imaging science and technical marketing at a camera quality testing company. It was a unique and rewarding experience that deepened my understanding of photography from a scientific perspective.

Now, with the launch of Salt + Solstice Creative, I’m excited to return to my roots and offer captivating and personal photography sessions to local clients here in SWFL. Whether you’re looking for dreamy sunset family portraits, senior photos that let your personality shine, or simply want to document a special moment, I’m your girl!

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me rollerskating, painting, experimenting with new recipes, or creating funky makeup and fashion looks to photograph.

You can reach me anytime at mia.guariano@gmail.com or via the contact form below.

Ciao for now!
- Mia
