let's work together
I believe every photograph should feel like a memory. I have a fresh take on what I want the portrait experience to be like for your family. At some point I started to wonder what would happen if we took away the bribes and forced smiles. What would happen if we rebelled against the norm and removed the stress from family photos? It’s a lot of pressure when someone tells you to “act natural” in front of the camera! I simply ask that you come as you are and let me be your creative director. When we find a way to make the experience something to enjoy, we get honest expressions and real memories that last forever.
Studio photos with a documentary feel.
I especially love the one of me breastfeeding Daisy in the chair. I will treasure that forever. "You really captured Georgie's spirit - so free. And Pearlie's sincerity. And Daisy's newness. "
"I love the way you see our family through your lens. "
real reviews from my past clients
We don’t make a photograph just with a camera, we bring to the act of photography all the books we have read, the movies we have seen, the music we have heard, the people we have loved. – Ansel Adams
They drop their guard and let you in a little. Bring your kids in for a shoot where they can wear whatever they want and be whoever they want to be. Individual sessions start at $350 and last about 20 minutes. Sibling rates are available. Ages 7+
If you give kids the space to be who they are, it creates an atmosphere where something real happens.

a twist on tradional portraits
Studio sessions are simple and always delivered in black and white. I make things as easy as possible. I will give you direction and ask you to interact with each other, snuggling, hugging, laughing, playing. I will capture the wild and the quiet moments and everything in between. Sessions start at $350 including 15 digital images, last about 45 minutes and include a combination of individual and group portraits.
My take on the traditional studio portrait. You won't be asked to stand still and I won't force you to smile pretty.

You can keep things as real as you want at home. I will spend a few hours just hanging out, capturing whatever is going on and we can even capture some lightly posed shots too if you would like. These sessions are honest and relaxed and only require that you're there doing your thing.
