my approach

-getting on the same page-

Let's start by talking through what you're hoping to get out of your session. Whether you want something relaxed and candid or more polished and styled, we'll find the right approach together. We'll also choose a location that fits your vision, whether that's outdoors, at home, or somewhere meaningful to you, and talk through outfits or any props you have in mind.

​

One thing I love to do is build the session around an activity. It takes the pressure off and makes everything feel more natural. That might be something low-key like a walk through the neighborhood, or something more memorable like apple picking. When there's something to actually do, it gives everyone a sense of purpose and the photos end up feeling like a real moment rather than a posed one.

-planning is key-
I’ll help guide you through planning, offering tips on clothing choices, timing (golden hour?), and making sure you’re comfortable and excited about the shoot.​ It’s all about making sure you feel prepared and relaxed so the session goes smoothly. I also love having reference photos for posing and location ideas, which helps make sure we’re all on the same page

​-under promise, over deliver?-
I like to keep expectations realistic when it comes to the number of photos you'll receive. But, more often than not, I end up delivering more than you expect
