You Need…

Someone who truly sees you.

A photographer who feels that family is the most important group to belong to in life. Family is the beginning of who we are, shapes us into what we become, and are the people who mean the most. No family is perfect, and we can all agree that it is hard to keep together sometime, but it is also full of chaos that is beautiful, long ago stories to retell, and times together to be had. I feel so drawn to show the importance that family is in an artistic and moving way. Some specifics of how I do this is;

  • Get to know you and your family way before your session through a detailed (but not long) questionaire, a one on one phone call, plus emails and text.

  • Have you make a pinterest board of your vision for the shoot, including activities you and your family like to do together.

  • Be your photo session support system. Answering questions, helping out with worries, giving tips for how to prep your family, even wardrobe help. You’re not planning this alone. I’m here for ya, my friend.
