When you step in front of my lens, I want you to feel like you've been transported to the best version of you. The patient you. The calm you. The fun you who feels beautiful! Can you see her?

The vibe

Real Life Posing

Real Life Posing

My style is heavily focused on real moments. I'm not going to make you do any stupid stuff that feels forced. No stand like a stick figure and smile at me. I'm looking at how you naturally move and interact with each other then we lean more into that. I'll direct you to look your best but ultimately want you to move and interact as you usually would. If you’re just wanting a photographer to show up and get the typical, posed, smiling “perfect looking” shots, we might not be the best fit.

Connection & Trust

Connection & Trust

From this point on, we're friends. It may sound weird but I get really invested in my families because I care so much and want to show up as more than just a photographer for you. I want to focus on creating together rather than just "getting photos done" as a check off the list.  I create my best work with those who trust me. Even if you're "uncomfortable" or "awkward" in front of the camera, I promise, I'll make it so laid back and together, we'll have so much fun!

With each family, my goal is to serve. You deserve my best, most creative, patient self. That is why I only take on a certain number of sessions each month. Most families book me for maternity + newborn  sessions, which is amazing because it really allows us time to create a connection. Reach out sooner than later to avoid any disappointment.

It's not everyday you get your photos taken so to think you should be overwhelmed is natural. But I'm here to walk through this process with you. Helping you plan locations, outfits, creative ideas. I even have dresses avaialble for no cost for newborn mothers and wraps and outfits for your newborn at no cost. Mothers tell me having the dresses and outfits available takes so much mental and physical pressure off them and they appreciate it so much! I’m happy to help in any big or little ways that I can to make sure this is a stress-free experience for you!

I know I'm not the cheapest photographer. If budget is your number one priority, I'm probably not your girl. But I am your girl to authentically tell your family story. To see you, to value you and I create the images that will gain value as time passes. These will be the type of photos you pass down to generations and talk about life. These will the best photos that show your children their roots. That is priceless.

You're not a prop. I won't put you in a perfect pose but I won't leave you hanging. I'll share my prompt ideas that leave you to play, have fun and interact in a natural way. Consider me a friend to come hang and document your family time. I promise you can't love your family wrong.
