what's it like to work with me?
Client Experience
A big part of what I do when I am working with a couple is finding out when they feel most like themselves. Is there a hobby that you share together? What do you do in your time together? When do you feel most connected to your partner?
Each couple or family is different, and therefore, their experience of having their love documented can be wildly different. I want to create an atmosphere that you feel like yourself in. No performance, just you.
It’s not about taking photos, it’s about building memories
purposeful, intimate, honest
It’s not about taking photos, it’s about building memories
For me, it has never been about photographing in epic places, the perfect gown, or posing a couple in the exact right way. It has always been about the people. I want my families and couples to feel like I am on their team. Like they can be exactly who they are, even if it is just for an hour. It gives me no joy to see people stressed out about getting their hair done perfectly, the critical nature of getting your photo taken has never been my thing, but what is my thing, is the connection.
