My approach as a photographer

I believe lifestyle photography is meant to capture life in all of its moments; the big + small, ordinary + extraordinary and the beautiful + beautifully messy.

Photography by definition is an artform. Combine that artform with documenting people in those fully-alive moments and we’re left with an opportunity to create something really extraordinary. 

With that we can create photos that evoke a feeling, the kind that hits you right in the gut. The kind of photo that begs for an “I can’t believe this is my life” reaction. 

Sometimes that means a photo can really come alive with some movement, noise, or asymmetrical cropping. Life isn’t perfect and honestly the photos that I end up falling in love with form our sessions aren’t either (technically speaking).

I believe there is a way to capture organic moments while also having my support + guidance. I do this by fostering an environment that provides direction when you need it and being a little fly on the wall when you don’t. Oftentimes it is a combination of the two.

I want you to feel empowered to show up to our photo shoot both as how you feel + how you want to feel. I like to think of my photography as the perfect mix of imagination + reality.
