State: Florida


Born in Hempstead, New York, Claudine Camillo was raised in an artistic family of musicians, publishers, artists, directors, and designers, and as she grew up, she was constantly snapping pictures of them. Having creative people in her life early on inspired and fostered her love for art and photography.

Once Claudine got to college, a family friend taught her more about photography techniques, and she was hooked. She decided to follow her passion by changing her major from early childhood education to art. She earned a B.A in art from University of Central Florida with a specialization in photography.

Claudine has been a part of the VHT team for the past five years. During that time she has become a real-estate photography expert, working closely with her clients to capture the best of each property she shoots.

His passion for photography and his outstanding client service has made him a favorite among his North Suburban clients.
