Experience

It's all about the light! My photography practice has been primarily focused on building a strong relationship with natural light. I strive to be flexible by getting a feel for what each client envisions for themselves. It is all about communication! I edit each session and photo individually and do not use pre-made presets to batch edit. 

My photography style

Let’s get to know each other! My priority is communication, especially when it comes to your peace of mind. Each session is unique and is meant to tell YOUR story, no formulas. Tell me a little bit about yourself and what you want to capture on the day of.

Consultations

  • Pick your location

  • Coordinate your outfit(s)

  • Explore pose and photo inspiration (optional)

    If you’d like help, I am happy to offer guidance on locations and outfit colors!

How to prepare for your shoot

I like to begin the shoot by going over the vision for the day, and then take a few test shots so you can get nice and comfy in front of the lens. I'll walk you through it, and will never ask you to pose in a way you are not comfortable. Let's show the best of YOU!

What to expect on the day of

Feel free to bring a friend to help you feel yourself and keep an eye on the little details that they know matter to you! Comfortability is everything during the shoot. I want you to feel like the best you, and to create an experience that is more than just about the final results.

Work out the details

It may seem obvious, but your extra effort before the shoot can go a long way! Getting your teeth cleaned, hair styled, and clothes ironed before our meet-up makes our final images that much more incredible.

Plan your wardrobe

Avoid loud patterns and stripes and coordinate colors with everyone involved in your session.
