My Style
Real Life. Real Smiles. Real Laughter. Real You!
The best portraits are those that are natural, so I want you to feel at ease during your session. At every portrait session, I strive to capture more than just how you look. My goal is to tell a story…YOUR story. Who you are today, right now, in this moment. Silly children are allowed (and encouraged!) to be silly! Moody teens are never asked to say cheese! Don’t want to pose in front of the fireplace? Good, because I wasn’t going to ask you to! Portraiture has come a long way in the last few years and I am SO excited about it! Rather than being told how to pose or where to stand the entire time, you can expect to hear me tell you to “Be yourselves and have fun!” Just enjoy each other! I will help you with minimal posing to create a flattering portrait and some direction to ensure variety in your portrait collection.
Before your session, we will work together to find the perfect location for the feel you are looking for. Once your session is booked we will discuss clothing options and the look and feel you want in your story. A few days after your session, I will post a few of my favorite images from your session on my blog for your “Sneak Peek”. From start to finish, the experience is customized just for you and your family.
So relax, let the kids pick out their own outfits, be yourself and let’s have a blast!!

My Digital Philosophy
Let’s face it….It is the digital age. As more and more things move to digital, photography being one of them, it only makes sense that your portraits are provided to you in digital format as well. With iPods, digital frames, Facebook and more…you want them! I want you to have them! Your images tell a story, and they belong together. I want you to have all of them, without the pressure of having to only choose certain sizes or only a few. Therefor, I offer high-resolution digital images on a high quality Flash Drive. Why not a CD? Easy! Once a disc is scratched, you can no longer retrieve your information and all is lost. With a Flash Drive, your information is safe and secure for generations!
Choosing your type of session is simple- it’s either based on the digital files or ordering printed portraits through the studio.
