It’s great to meet you!
I’m a nice person. I’m sure you are too. I’m pretty confident that I can help you not feel awkward in front of my lens, and I shoot efficiently so you don’t have to worry about me keeping you and your loved ones for longer than is necessary or helpful. It’s important to me to make sure you’re comfortable because I believe it translates into beautiful photos for you. Whether you’re two lovebirds or a family of 5, I want to learn your names and make our session as relaxed and as a fun as possible.
Present With You
I ditched my cell phone a while back and have let it sit on the back burner of my life so that I can be more in touch with the people and things I love right under my nose. I think this makes me a better photographer because my mind isn’t distracted by a million different things and I will treat your project with the presence of mind it deserves.
My Goal
I am a nurturer at heart. I love people, I love making my clients feel that when they are with me, I will put them first and work hard to make their session the best. I want you to love your pictures and be able to look back at them years from now and be reminded of the season of life you were in when we took them! I want you to remember what it was like when you first got engaged, when your kids were in elementary school together, or when you celebrated your 25th anniversary with your spouse. Whatever the occasion, it would bring me joy to help you commemorate, celebrate, and cherish it forever!
What about Lifestyle Sessions?
Lifestyle sessions are very different from my other types of shoots. Expect to be in communication with me in the days leading up to your shoot so that we can discuss what the window light is like in your home and when your baby will be happiest (if we are doing a newborn lifestyle shoot!). For clients that book me, I give direction as to how they can prepare their home for my arrival (like using a neutral comforter on your bed) and I also offer wardrobe consultation! On the day of our shoot, I will come inside and look around your house for a few minutes to choose the best places for us to shoot, and then I will simply guide your family into natural poses that allow me to capture your raw interaction with your family! For lifestyle newborn sessions, I always leave room for diaper changes and “top-offs” of milk so that baby stays happy the entire time I’m there!
