Will we vibe?

This is such an important question. Arguably, this is the most important question to consider after vetting out a photographer’s portfolio. Our “vibeability” will add or detract from that photo magic that takes place in each of my sessions in the studio. Being able to completely trust me and my creative process is not an easy ask but absolutely vital in this collaborative process.

I’ll be honest with you, if you’re looking for posed photos of your family smiling on cue into the camera with heavy and ornate backdrops and props for milestone and cake smash sessions, I’m not the photographer for you. Even in our posed studio newborn sessions, the focus is on that tiny human and capturing what happens organically and in the moment. No family is the same so no session should look the same. To me, the magic happens when my shutters captures the realness of your family in a completely mundane, imperfect, or otherwise normal moment. Because years down the line, when you look back on that captured moment, the normalcy will become everything.

This is an entirely collaborative process and that’s fun of it for me and I hope for you. Sessions with me are all about genuine connections. It’s about capturing a fleeting moment of real life - the tantrum, the side eye, and the unprompted laughter. Let my shutters keep up with your family in the time we have together and let that be that. You’ll love your photos because it’s you, not because it’s a more perfect, curated version of you. I’ve never had an unhappy customer, but let me be clear now, the photos are varied, wild, and imperfect but so real. If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I look forward to meeting you!

If you are looking for highly posed and fine art editing for newborn and maternity sessions, please check out my fine art portrait portfolio. Here, we are all about elevated posing, props and post production edit. I hated to niche down in my services since I love both styles so very much.
