Families
Since I was young, I have believed that family love can be the apex of beauty. If you choose a family shoot with me, you will probably hear me say the line my clients have come to know and quote… “look at each other, not at me!”. Though I will take some formally styled portraits, my talents reside in the in-between shots. I encourage a loose and fun atmosphere with a lot of freedom for relationships to operate comfortably, while still directing your family members to strategically capture everyone at their best.
Influencers & Bloggers
Since the very early days of social media, I have been utilizing those platforms to display my work and highlight the unique identity of many human beings. The only thing that’s changed, is that I no longer frequent the ever classy train-track locations, and my clients aren’t wearing Hollister brand clothing. I still enjoy the moody shots, the stunning beauty shots, and the effortless over the shoulder hair toss. If you need eye-catching content to accompany your writing, your social life, or any other aspect of your presence online… This kind of shooting is arguably my greatest strength behind the camera.
Seniors
Having been a teacher for many years now, I have a very special place in my heart for this age group. I relish in hearing about their life, their coming choices, their aspirations, and fears. I use this shoot to just let them have fun, and take some of the mounting weight off their shoulders. While I try to capture the “shots for Mom”, that have a more classic look… a lot of my shoot time is spent bringing out the personality of the grad, and letting them shine.
Couples
What can I say but the age old “I just love, love!”? While it’s cheesy, it’s also true. I have been so privileged to document love in so many forms… young love, mature love, funny love, emotive love, and serious love. Whatever sides of your relationship you want captured, I endeavor to bring you back images that tell a compelling and singular story between two people. I create a low-pressure relational space, where both men and women feel themselves and candid in front of the camera. As we are often the most ourselves with our “person”, I try to be an easy friend and witness to the romance in front of me.
Maternity
A Mom myself, I know that sometimes the hardest thing to secure is a picture of you, that you actually like. Whether wanting a shoot by yourself, for you and your partner, or even bringing your little ones along with you… I know that the goal here is to make you feel a little less bloated and tired, and a little more magical and whimsical. I can do that. I am here to host a little escape into the goddess version of yourself, and capture the way God is building a life within you.
Weddings
I only take a few weddings a year, for a few distinct reasons. One of the main reasons being that I want you to have an excellent experience with your wedding photography, and I need margin to give that to every bride and groom that I book. I don’t want you receiving your priceless memories a year later… I want great turnaround time, and artsy touches to everything I capture. If you are looking for a wedding photographer that prioritizes what you need, like I would do if it was my own wedding, we may be a good fit. Relationally speaking, I want to be “one of your people” for the day, and until the very end of the process.
Conceptual
This is a genre of photography that I am crazy into. I am so giddy when I get a shot that is completely one-of-a-kind. I have shot for dancers, hair and makeup design, web and social content, magazine editorials, and a ton of other random projects in free-form imagery. I thrive in this category, and would absolutely love to collaborate on developing the pictures of your dreams – or just show up and make it happen!
Headshots
While studio headshots are not currently available with me, any outdoor or urban headshot material you may be needing is within my current offerings! I am happy to spend some time understanding your specific headshot needs, and work with you toward that end. My specialty has always been finding the best light and positioning to flatter my subjects, and then get them laughing, talking, and smiling in the most sincere way for them. I bring this same effort to my headshot sessions. You can also tag on a headshot run, to any other style of shoot that I offer!
