My Approach

I believe that the best photos come from moments when you feel at ease and truly yourself. My approach to photography is not about stiff poses or forced smiles, but about capturing the real, unguarded moments that tell the story of who you are. Whether it's a spontaneous laugh, a quiet moment shared between parent and child, or a loving glance between partners, these are the images that I cherish—and I want you to cherish them, too. I strive to create an environment where you can relax, let go of any expectations, and simply be present in the moment.

Perfection (is not) my middle name

Our photo session will focus on authentically capturing your true essence; I do not strive for an idealized version. I consider myself a tour guide, a temporary co-parent, or your most enthusiastic supporter armed with a camera. Embracing imperfection often results in the most genuine and captivating photographs.

  • Before we snap some fabulous pics, let’s have a little chat and get to know each other! We can do a speedy 5-10 minute phone or video call to brainstorm your fabulous ideas and preferences while I get to know you (or your child). Feeling a bit shy? No problem! You can fill out a digital form instead. My mission? To make sure you’re as comfy as a cat in a sunbeam, so we can whip up some amazing memories together!

  • Though we haven't had the chance to meet yet, I’d love for you to think of me as a friend! Friendships often start with a special connection, and I want you to feel that warmth and ease during your photo session. Just think about the wonderful feelings you share with your closest friends—comfort, joy, and a sense of belonging. My goal is to create that same welcoming atmosphere for you, so we can capture some truly beautiful moments together!

  • I will effectively manage your schedule and any external factors, ensuring that you can remain focused and enjoy the experience without distractions from time, weather, or other concerns that might detract from those precious moments. Regardless of the conditions, I am here to support you.

  • We understand that posing for the camera can be awkward, especially for little ones. Our aim is to reduce stress and create a fun, magical atmosphere for a memorable and enjoyable experience for all!With a variety of playful props and engaging activities, we strive to capture genuine smiles and candid moments.

  • While I can't guarantee a flawless experience—especially when little whirlwinds are in the mix—I can promise a good time! Our photo session will be bursting with real smiles and giggles.

  • I have a knack for making the tiniest of humans feel at ease. I turn the photo session into a delightful adventure. With a favorite toy, a silly hat, or a game of peek-a-boo, every detail is designed to bring out the best. Come ready to laugh, play, and make memories that will last a lifetime. We love to see the joy and wonder in your little one's eyes as we immortalize these precious moments.

  • Whether working with new lovebirds or those married for many years, my priority is to ensure that you and your partner feel at ease. I understand that some individuals, particularly men, may feel uncomfortable in front of the camera initially. Rest assured, I will take the time to get to know both of you, creating a relaxed and enjoyable photoshoot tailored to celebrate your unique relationship.
