About our Staff
Dave Parmelee
Dave has been in the photography industry for well over a decade. Arriving in Fort Myers, FL from West Palm Beach six years ago, he holds a strong passion for portraiture.
Dave's light-hearted personality, coupled with his incredible patience, makes him both amazing to work with and to watch in his element.
In his spare time, Dave is an avid windsurfer and water-sports enthusiast, and has a secret love for the old-school, stand-up style jetskiis.
Dave is also quite the automotive guru, and is currently building his own street-legal roadster, The Stalker, out of his custom home garage. He drives this slick yellow and chrome ride to the studio nearly every day, and always catches a handful of second looks on the way. Want to see Dave's hotrod? Ask him to drive it to your session!
Education
In school, Dave studied aerospace and achieved a commercial Instrument pilot license, and also became a certified flight instructor.
Dave holds a deep-seated love for photography, and an ultimate respect for his clients. If you're seeking a unique blend of the traditional and the artistic, look no further- Dave Parmelee is your photographer.

Angela Yodice
An artist by nature, when Angela is not working with Dave at Lasting Impressions, she is concentrating on her web and graphic design businesses, LadyOArt.com, where she concentrates on designing for artists; and LadyOrelinde.com where the business is aimed more at small businesses and eCommerce websites. She also loves hand drawing charcoal portraits of celebrities as well as singing any time she gets a chance.
She’s always had a love for the arts, so it seemed fitting that she joined Dave in his studio. She’s always been interested in photography and under Dave’s tutelage, she’s learning more and more every day…and loving it.
Education
In school, Angela studied Graphic Design, Fine Arts, Business Management and Marketing and earned multiple degrees.
Angela has always been a self-starter, with a passion for not only creating beautiful pieces of art, but applying her knowledge, skills, experience and “eye” in all the projects she works on for clients – but also for helping them achieve their goals with their pieces. Your portraits and your art are a reflection of you…who you are, what you want to say to the world and what you are most proud of. If you want people to view your portraits and feel that same emotion, then you’ve come to the right artists.
