Shooting with me is laid-back, fun, and experience-focused. That means my goal is to pull you into the moment, to help you be fully present in your body and surroundings. I want you to walk away from our session saying, that was fun!

It’s normal to feel fearful about being in front of the camera, especially if you haven’t been photographed before. I give a lot of direction to help ease those nerves. You’ll always know what to do with your hands and where to look — but you’ll find after the first few minutes, you’ll forget that anxiety because you’re truly in the present.

These days, I’m pushing myself to a more creative place with every session. I consider my best work to be emotive, full of feeling. To create those kinds of photographs, we have to approach our session with an attitude of curiosity. What happens if I shoot from above? What happens if I run alongside you? What happens if we try this weird pose?

What’s the worst thing that happens if we experiment and something doesn’t work? Nothing. We take one bad photo that doesn’t make it to your gallery. It’s very low-risk to be creative, even when it feels vulnerable.

What I need from you is trust and vulnerability. If my job is to put you at ease and bring the creativity, your job is to show up as your whole self.
