My Photography Philosophy is Simple...

I want to provide you with natural, beautiful, and authentic photography you’ll be able to cherish for a lifetime.

I’ll make sure you’re not stressed about anything along with being flexible enough to let your special day flow organically and naturally.

If you’re looking for someone that’s going to be rigid, buttoned-up, and not able to go with the flow of the day, well, I might not be a good fit for you. I’m definitely not someone who is going to work with a shot list and take all spontaneity out of the day.

I like to do things a bit differently, and I love working with those who enjoy the same approach.

I love working with couples and friends who don’t want a traditional approach to their wedding, elopement, portrait session, or event special event. Something I stress with everyone is that it is YOUR day. Do whatever you’d like on your special day, and do whatever is going to make you happy.

Don’t feel pressured or obligated to do something that isn’t going to reflect your personality and style. I’ll do everything I can to make sure that happens, and I’m not about to tell you otherwise!

I’m also going to do everything I can to make sure the photos reflect who you are. I don’t like cheesy poses, and I don’t like telling people or couples to do something that goes against their personality. I’m all about photos that are natural and true to self. Those tend to make the most memorable shots!

Communication is key!

Since I want to focus on getting the photos you want and you deserve, I also want to focus on establishing a positive flow of communication from the time you first say hi to the time I tell you your photos are ready.

I’m hear to help and assist you in any way, shape, or form. Need help with finding a location? Struggling with design choices? Can’t figure out a timeline? Looking for just a little extra confidence boost? I’ve got your back on all of that and more.

One of the first things I learned when I started photographing is that every wedding, elopement, portrait session, or special event is different. That’s why I’m not married to one particular style or way of editing. That’s also why I want to know what visual approach you like.

Do you have a Pinterest board? I’d love to see it! I want to see as many samples as possible because it helps me get a better idea of what you want out of our time together.

When it comes to posing, as I said, I try to avoid all the cheesy stuff and really do emphasize the natural aspect of things. I’ll give you guidance, but I want, most of all, for you to be yourself during the experience because that’s where the natural and authentic come into play. Together, they produce the beautiful!

Let’s Make Something Beautiful Together!

I hope everything you’ve read is what you’re looking for from a photographer. I also hope I’m not just going to be a photographer for you. I want to be a friend and want to help you with this experience as much as possible.

Most importantly, though, I want to document this time for you - whether it’s a wedding, elopement, portrait session, or special event - so you can have wonderful memories you’ll be able to cherish for a lifetime.

Let’s go on this adventure together!!
