You love nature
You want lasting memories
you love color
you love an easy process
My photographic style is heavily rooted in the natural surroundings that I choose for your session. Whether it be forest, beach, rolling hills, or the desert, the environment becomes an additional entity in my work. You wont find many urban sessions in my work.
The imagery and physical products I produce are heirloom quality, gorgeous representations of you in this moment of time. Photography is an investment but my signature process makes it worth it.
Take a look through the photography here on my site, on my instagram, and in my print shop. One of my biggest photographic inspirations is color, and my work always highlights color (especially in nature) in a vibrant yet soft way.
From quick booking, to digital invoices and contracts, and digital galleries, I offer an easy and streamlined process to make your experience as relaxing and stress-free as possible.
perfect fit?
are we the
Are you overwhelmed by the process of finding, choosing, or hiring a photographer? Are you unsure about what a photography session entails and don't know where to begin? Well never fear, because I lead you through the process step by step from the first moment you contact me until I deliver your photos and even after! I am happy to reassure you every step of the way that this was a great decision! Please click here to learn more about my signature process and the experience of having a photo session with me. Click here to take a look at our FAQ's.
Are you overwhelmed?
I definitely get that! I am a parent myself and a former teacher! There is no kiddo I cannot get laughing, smiling, and having fun. I have all sorts of fun things to make your kids laugh (even the sullen teenage ones) and my candid style of having your family relax and just play with each other makes everyone comfortable. Never fear, your kiddos will look amazing in the photos. Take a look at some of my recent photo sessions with kids here.
Are you worried that your kids wont cooperate?
Taking photos in general can be nerve wracking, especially with a stranger as the photographer. My goal is always to have you focus on your loved ones rather than me. Once you are focused on the people in the shoot, the stress will melt away, and hopefully you can forget I am even there! I also offer lots of support to help you both look and feel your best from styling guides for every member of the whole family to recommendations for hair and makeup professionals. I have you covered! I can even style and select wardrobe options and simply sent you links to click and purchase! Easy as that! Click here for recent blog posts on styling and looking and feeling your best at your session.
Do you feel self conscious in front of the camera?
I have never once had clients who regretted the investment they made after they see their beautiful photos. Choosing to have portraits done is a gift to you and your family. You can never return to this exact moment in time again, so freezing your kids gap toothed smiles, the intense connection you and your lover have, your hope and tenacity as you graduate, or that growing baby belly gives you a beautiful representation of this time of your life.
