Working with Kids
My extensive experience working with children sets me apart from other photographers. I have plenty of tricks to help even the most camera-shy kids feel at ease, allowing them to relax and share authentic smiles in front of my lens.
And as a former teacher, I am well educated on attention spans and sparking engagement. I know how much time I have before the kids lose interest, so my family sessions include lots of fun and lots of movement!
I spent seven years teaching kindergarten and first grade, and eight years training service dogs for children with disabilities. I love working with kids!
Working with Parents
As Mom to two young kids of my own, I get the stress (and lack of time) that parents are feeling. That’s why I make the booking process as easy as possible.
I believe you deserve a stress-free experience from beginning to end that culminates in candid and beautiful images of your children + family.
I make it easy to book and promise a stress free photo session!
One thing you should know: I am a passionate advocate for prints over pixels.
“Why prints?”
Once a year, my family goes through old photos. My dad has a huge picture of himself as a baby and my mom kept our family photos where I am wearing this oversized floral dress and we love looking at them. We’re able to have this fun bonding time together because our photos are printed. We can sit together, passing them around, talking, laughing, and reminiscing. Passing a phone just isn't the same.
Photographers who only send you digital images are really only doing half of their job. The other half is to provide you with beautiful and priceless printed artwork for your family legacy.
This is why I specialize in helping families design albums and wall galleries for their homes.
Because no one has ever come over to your home and said, "I love that flash drive in your junk drawer" or “Let's take fifteen minutes and go through your Facebook page searching for those family photos you took."
