A session with me should feel like a hang-out with a friend…

I’ve been described by clients as easy-going, patient, engaging, and full of heart. I’ve literally had one repeat client dad lovingly describe a session with me as “pain-free and efficient.” That just means I know what I’m doing, folks! I will guide you through our time together, no stress, no fussing with the kids to stand still and “say cheese.” You’ll have a relaxed and enjoyable time as I turn these sincere, gorgeous moments into heirloom art for you.

FAQ

What kind of photographer are you?
I am an unabashed natural light lifestyle photographer. I am relaxed and approachable, and I truly try to connect with my people. My work has a bold, deep, and emotive feel. I strive for natural, honest, beautiful images that convey the timeless aesthetic of family.

Do you shoot weddings?
Unfortunately, I no longer take on weddings, but I have a great list of referrals if you need help finding an amazing photographer for your big day!

Where will my session be held?
Your session will be held on-location outside, or in your home for an in-home lifestyle session. I have several locations around town that I use and love. However, if you have a special place you’d love to use, I’m always open to new spots! On occasion I may use my home as a small studio space for babies and mamas.

What should I wear?
My advice for a family shoot…dress mama first, then coordinate with her. Mixing textures and patterns is A-OKAY and provides movement and warmth to your images. I want you to be comfortable and feel stunning. I do discourage matching in favor of coordinating. Personally, there are two color palettes I love: neutral (gray, blush, khaki, chambray, off white etc.) or earth tones (mustard, mauve, olive, deep blue etc.) Those tend to photograph really well. Pinterest and Instagram are great resources for outfit inspiration!
