Life & Work with Acasha Pressley of South Florida

Today we’d like to introduce you to Acasha Pressley

Hi Acasha, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
So I was interested in photography since college. I got my first camera as a gift back in 2017. I would shoot things here & there but not consistently. Fast forward to about three years ago, I started to miss making those memories & capturing things through photo so I got serious about it & here we are now… a full photography & 360 photobooth rental business. I’m so grateful

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
No it hasn’t. I’ve been discouraged, doubted, not taken seriously. I’ve even quit a few times but God has the final say and He’s been blessing this business so I’m happy about the journey because it’s only going to make it better

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Ironically, I started with portraits. I have an in-home studio so clients would come there to take their pictures. Then I was hired to do a birthday party & lately that’s what I’ve been hired to do more of. I’ve shot receptions, birthday parties, baby showers, corporate events, church events, etc. I decided to invest in a 360 photobooth two years ago because it seemed to fit what I’ve been doing. Eventually, I want to get into wedding photography

What do you like and dislike about the city?
I’m from south Florida so I love it down here! If I could change anything, it would be the cost of living so people could afford to do things

Pricing:

  • Right now I’m running a platinum package for $1,000 which includes photography, 360 booth & bartending
  • 360 photobooth rental is $150 per hour for 2 hours; $125 per hour if it’s 3 or more hours
  • For photography I usually like to do a consultation for accurate pricing
