With over two decades of experience and three degrees in fine art photography, I bring expertise that goes beyond simply taking pictures. My portraits feature true-to-life color, avoiding trendy filters to ensure your images remain timeless heirlooms.

What sets me apart is my ability to connect with clients personally, guiding you with ease and instilling confidence every step of the way. I pose with purpose, capturing your best angles and authentic moments in between. Together, we’ll create a unique experience and one-of-a-kind imagery that reflects who you are.

I love golden hour; I believe that mornings and evenings have the very best outdoor light for portraits. You will avoid squinting and splotchy lighting across your image. I save the midday harsh light for studio portraits with controlled lighting. Outdoor sessions are offered Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings by appointment.

I am currently photographing all studio sessions in my home studio Tuesday- Sunday by appointment. 

I will help you find the best location as we plan your session together. As soon as a client inquires; I will reach out and we will start talking about your wants and needs. From there I can suggest several location options for you to choose from. Every session includes 15 miles of travel each way (additional milage is charged per mile).

 If the location has any additional costs associated, that responsibility would be the clients. 

I always like to make a plan B. However; I only cancel sessions if it is raining 2 hours prior to your session or has a very high chance of rain at the time of the session (over 35%).

Yes, I will absolutely help. I love the planning and session prep process.

I can always send you some coordinating examples as we talk through your specific needs. Here a few helpful tip as you begin:

1.) Matching khaki's and white shirts are out, but coordinating neutral clothing colors and styles are in. 

2.) Avoid big bulky jewelry or bold patterns. Keep things simple. We want to focus on your personality. 

3.) Use your home as inspiration. Coordinate your session clothing to compliment your homes decor and look beautiful when displayed in your space. 

4.) Avoid large logo and characters as they can date your image. 

5.) Baggy shirts and clothing tend to make you look larger. Choose fitted clothing, you will not regret it. 

Yes, I will!

Most of my clients have never modeled. I have decades of experience directing my clients into poses that look natural and allow them to feel their best. I will put you in a pose; then I'll fix your hair, move your neckless to the front, check hand positions, remove unwanted wristbands, look for cell phones in mens pockets and other small details that get missed. Finally I give actions that get real reactions and show your personality.

Everything I deliver is fully retouched. I fix fly away hairs, touch up blemishes, reduce wrinkles and can even make you thinner if requested. I focus on quality over quantity. 

One week for proofing and viewing your session.
