01 —— welcome

If you’re here, you must love deeply.

I am so honored to be in touch with you about documenting your beautiful life and this season you're in.
I don’t take my job lightly, I intend to pour myself into my work and be as intentional as I can be with my clients.

Either your sentimental heart or creative eye has lead you here. Either way, I am really glad.

We have a lot in common already.

02 —— let’s get honest

LIFE IS NOT PERFECT.

Amen.

So let’s not make it look that way. I’m here to witness the ups and downs, the chaos, the connection, the in between. I have zero interest in making your life look absolutely flawless.

Wherever you are in life, I want you to feel like you can honor and celebrate what it took to get to this moment. Because I’m sure it wasn’t easy. It sure wasn’t for me!! Raising kids, marriage, it’s all transformative. Messy, beautiful, hard.

Your kid might cry. Your body might not feel exactly how you want it to. It might take three tries to get everyone dressed. Someone might spill something, lose their patience, or need a snack five minutes in. The vibes might not be immaculate.

To the perfectionists reading - hi, same, you’re in great company.

And you know what - it is all okay.

Your photoshoot doesn’t need to be perfect. It just needs to be yours.

Yours yours yours.

You’re allowed to show up exactly as you are with me. Imperfect, messy, joyful, exhausted, silly, connected, EMOTIONAL. In fact, I encourage you to.

I’m here to capture your life, not manufacture a better looking version of it.

02 —— approach

I’m easy going and want everyone to enjoy themselves. And want everyone to BE themselves.

My approach to photography isn’t serious. At least, not usually. Sometimes it’s hilarious, spontaneous, absurd. Other times it’s mellow and still. But most of the time, it lives in that space I love most. Perfectly chaotic, where life just happens.

I give direction while I shoot, but I also leave space for moments to organically unfold. I know that the first 10-15 min can feel a little vulnerable, we’ll chat over this on the phone and I’ll give you my best tips for easing into it. Towards the end of the shoot, people really come out of their shell. It’s a process and I am there every step of the way.

But it’s not all that serious too…for real.
