I’m a natural light, on-location, lifestyle photographer, meaning, the props I utilize are the sun and nature and YOU. Your lives, your personalities, your silly dynamic as a whole. Studio photography is stuffy & unnatural, in my own personal & professional opinion. I’ve found YOU come out when you’re in the sun.
02
Kids get weird when I’m around. Think about it, there’s this strange lady pointing a giant black box at them – they’re going to get weird. I beg of you - let me do my job. The more you bark orders & commands at them, the more they’re going to shut down & they won’t give me the best version of themselves. It’s definitely not my first rodeo with tiny humans. My objective is to capture them being kids & give you memories behind your images for years to come. I realize you want those traditional, nice & posed family photos, but you’ll be surprised that I actually do get those by letting them get a little crazy. Let them be little & weird. You’ll thank me in the end.
03
Don’t overthink your session. This goes for every aspect from outfits to poses. I’ll give you direction on posing, but for the most part, I want to capture you in your natural stances in a natural element. The more natural & relaxed you are, the more natural everyone’s smiles will be.
04
I’m going to prompt you to do weird thing – go with it. Have fun. The more fun you have, the more you laugh, the more you’re going to get out of your session.
05
Don’t ever mix patterns & PLEASE…do not awkwardly wear the same thing. Your outfit choices are an outward expression of you. There are always wonderful ideas on Pinterest if you feel the need to plan appropriately, but I will never request you to buy a whole new wardrobe for your short amount of time with me. If little Johnny wants to wear his Iron Man costume, please PLEASE let him rock it.
06
I have yet to meet a woman who doesn’t tear herself apart to me when in front of my lens, or a man who loves taking family photos. We just seem to be biologically conditioned this way. Trust me – I understand the psychology behind portrait photography all too well. I promise I'll take care of you.
07
This is an investment, I definitely believe in payment plans. I realize that certain milestones where photography is needed can create a seemingly financial anxiety attack, but I'm here to work with you. CALL ME. Let's chat & I'll help.

Every image in your album will be edited in color & black & white, but it will have a download cap based on your package choice. Albums stay active for two-weeks, so be sure to choose wisely & download as soon as you're able. Additional images are available for purchase individually, as well as entire albums. In that case, I simply need a text with image numbers & can release immediately. Costs are calculated by my time, equipment, hosting services for you, editing softwares, mileage, insurance, constant education, etc. Under no circumstances will RAW images ever be delivered, so no need to ask. You're paying for my brand & editing style.
