Lifestyle Photography and Fine Art Portraiture
Family photography has evolved over the last few decades. It used to be the only way to document your family was to go to your local photography studio and pose for traditional portraits. The industry has expanded to include many more types of sessions, giving the client the option to choose the style that best suits their personality and budget.

What style am I?
I'm somewhere between Lifestyle Photography and Fine Art Portraiture. I have a background in Fine Art Photography, I was trained on BW film, and I love to experiment with creative techniques. My goal with each session is to capture the connections between you and your loved ones in an artful and authentic way.
Why do I do what I do?
I believe family sessions should reflect who you really are, and you are more likely to share that with me if you are relaxed and having fun. I'm less focused on perfection and more on connection and authenticity.
How do I do it?
We will walk, talk and play. We will use activities and movement to guide us throughout the session. Rather than pose you, I will guide you towards engaging with your loves. I only come to the shoot with a few planned shots, and the rest happen organically. I will also focus on details, your babies fingers gripped around yours, your daughters messy braids, or your toddler son's pouty, kissable lips.
