Portraits- family, children, ENGAGEMENT, Maternity, pets, etc-
Having a family myself, I understand how important family time is. When I take the pictures of your family, I will make sure that the session is fun and enjoyable. I will not make the kids try to pose, but instead encourage them to enjoy themselves and for the parents to play with them because that is where the best images come from.
I am also fully aware that pets are also a big part of a lot of families, and I am more than happy to include them in pictures. If you are interested in having your pets included, then that is what we will do.
Seniors-
I truly enjoy photographing young people at this time in their lives. They are just beginning to assert their independence and are moving on to things that are both exciting and terrifying at the same time. I try to take these photos in locations that are meaningful to the young person. Whether that is a sports field, a park, a golf course, or even the backyard. I feel it is important to include those special places. We can also use the studio if that is what is preferred.
Headshots-
Headshots can mean many things, from professional profile images on social media, images used on online dating profiles, the 'about us page' of a corporate website, or promotional pictures of actors, models, and authors. Each one of these applications requires a different type of headshot, which is why the first question I will ask you is what we are taking the picture for.
Do you need photos of your staff for your business website? Let me come to you and get those done all at the same time. Contact me for more information about that.
Models, Lifestyle, Social Media, Brands-
Are you a social media influencer and need great pictures? Social media plays a large part in our daily lives, and while some of those moments can be captured on your phone, there is no substitute for professionally taken pictures. Contact me and let's get a plan together to capture some stunning photos that will make your followers say "OMG".
I work with many local models, helping them build their portfolios. I have a well-equipped studio and also do location work. If you are a model or an aspiring model, please reach out to me and let’s see what we can create.
Female Empowerment-
The ultimate gift for yourself or your significant other. I believe that everyone can be photographed like a model. Embrace yourself and your true beauty, and be prepared to be wowed by the results. Let me capture the light that is within you. It’s in there; let it shine.
