My Portrait Style

I create images of your life that are real, and which make you feel something when you look at them. I tell the story of your phase of life with honesty and nostalgia, and am constantly asking myself:

“what will this family cherish ten years from now?” Guess what? It’s not perfect posey poses.

It’s the details, your relationships, and the environment that you want to remember always.

For me, it’s the way my sons wrestle, my daughter’s wild imagination, their smiles, and their pouts. It’s the way my son plays with my hair when I hold him, and how my daughter asks me for cheek-to-cheek hug “fill ups.”

I encourage families to choose sentimental locations, and not to freak out about attire. Also, it’s important to capture the whole family: grandparents, adult siblings, pets and any other important relationships.

Let’s be honest, we focus on posed babies and milestones because of marketing, but how much do I wish I had a portrait of myself as an adult, still cuddling my grandmother the way I did as a kid?

Everyone tells you how fast they grow, but you can’t appreciate just how fast, until one day, you wake up and realize that your oldest is taller than you.

Then, one day you walk into your living room and find the kids looking over the family albums from when they were little and marveling at all of the memories that the photos evoke. Trust me, I’ve experienced both.

I like to joke around with kids, chat, have a snack, and take as much time as needed for the mood and moment to be just right. The moment where everyone can be themselves. Relaxed enough to forget about the camera.

This is my skill, it's what I’m best at, and what I love the most.
