With Light
Did you know the Greek definition of 'Photographer' translates to "drawing with light?" The longer I've been a photographer, the more I see everything in the world shaped by light. I used to lean towards dark & moody edits only, because I just love the richness in a picture when there's less light. Now, I've come to learn I really just love depths & shadows and how lighting affects the whole mood and vibe in those photos. My edits are reflecting more true to light now versus staying the grain of a dark & moody edit for the sake of consistency. My consistency begins at what I capture...

With warmth
Soft details & pure in-the-moment feels transporting you there. Surrounded by your best people & demonstrating the bonds you have between each other. A platonic love between a bride and her bestie, shared by inside jokes nobody would want to understand. Love demonstrated by a grandparent who stepped in and helped raise their grandchild when it was needed. Showing off every single connection on a family shoot or a wedding day through the tiny details and emotions.

With observation
More documentary-centered. I am not making up a scene. I am not shoving clutter to the side. Just honest photographs that go home with you to keep in your heart. I want my photos to feel like "Mom's film camera." Nostalgic + truly candid. Like it used to be. I've always been keen at observing and reading a room (especially being the emotional soul I am!) and I will always use that skill to my advantage at warming up those shy kiddos to my camera. I may engage or play with your kids long before I pull my camera out. This is true for my couples too! As much as I love the couples who are playfully in love, unafraid to show some pda action; I equally love the couples who may need some help getting there--so I can fully represent their safe & warm relationship. I will showcase the real you, because that's important.
