hey you.
I am here to help you strip down the layers of how we feel we are supposed to be in front of a camera & document what makes you, you! I am also here to help you get back into your body, your heart, & what your soul is screaming at you to create. I will guide you through a creative & expressive photography experience that will speak to the power of human connection and embodiment.
How do we know if we are we a good fit?
When I close my eyes and envision the work that I want to create, I envision a photography experience that is:
Imaginative
Collaborative
Embodied
Intentional
Creative
Brave
Playful
Outside of the box
Embracing the strange
Inclusive
Honest
Colorful
Open-hearted
Compassionate
Curious
Now close your eyes and envision what you are looking for in your photography experience. Do these things feel aligned with what you are looking for?
A Loving Approach
one.
Send me a little love note through my inquiry form and let me know what you are looking to create! I will respond within 72 hours with any additional questions and to make sure we are a good fit.
two.
If everything is feeling good, I will send you an easy breezy booking link. You complete a 50% deposit, sign a contract, and complete a package specific questionnaire. Things become officially, official!
three.
Put your creative pants on. Here is the part where we start dreaming up our session. You might send me a mood board or some inspiration. I might send you some creative ideas or a full blown creative concept. We decide on a location. Sooner than later, the day arrives.
four.
The really, really fun part. The big day. You might welcome me into your home, I might show up at your colorful wedding venue, we might meet for a drink or coffee before our shoot to get to know each other. We meet, we connect, we get ready to make photo magic, we get ready to say YES to leaning into all of the moments.
five.
We have arrived. Take a deep breath. Trust me. This is your moment. I am here to hold space for you, whether it’s a family session or your wedding. My process gives you space to feel seen in all of the ways you deserve to feel seen. This is all about the here and now. I will guide you through our time together so that we can make photographs that feel loving & true.
six.
I usually send a little sneak peek within 72 hours. For elopements & weddings, you will receive your gallery within 8-10 weeks. For other sessions, you will receive your gallery between 2-3 weeks.
This is the beginning of a relationship. I am more than just a vendor. I am a human being, first a foremost. For many of my clients, this is also just the start of our work together as I want to continue to document and archive your life as it unfolds.
A love letter to you.
Dear you,
You have somehow made it to this little corner of my webpage which means maybe you’re feeling aligned, intrigued on what working together could look like, and that little creative heart is beating inside of your chest just a tad bit faster. Maybe your kids are screaming in the background while this is happening. Maybe your emails and to do list continue to pour in the background of your mind. And yet, here you are. Take a breath. Let it all sink in. Here we go.
I am human being first and foremost. I walk alongside you in this ever shifting, moving, fast paced world. I am woman. I am daughter. I am feminist. I am creator. I am messy and I am wild. I am dripping with emotion. I am storyteller. And, I am seeker of understanding and truth. I am deeply moved by reimagining our world. My style as a photographer blends a mix of photo-documentary (or, candid) moments and gentle prompting. I am inspired by the abstract, outside the box elements of design, posing, & styling, beautiful details, and the raw, in between, organic moments.
And…. I want to work with you. I want to work with you. I want to work with you. I want to work with you. I want to work with you.
You have a complex, beautiful, and layered story which deserves to be seen and heard through the images we will create. You are navigating this wild world as a lover, a parent, an artist, a friend. You are resilient and finding ways to get through each and every day in this evolving and chaotic world. You are doing the best job that you can whether you believe this or not. You are seeking insight and understanding about the world around you. And you believe in imagination and creating something that feels true.
If anything, I hope you walk away from reading this feeling inspired, letting your imagination run free, and knowing that it is possible to feel seen in all of your complexities throughout the creative process. If you are invested in your photography experience, I want to work with you. I am so looking forward to hearing from you.
