Behind the Lens
Welcome to my page. I have been a photography hobbyist since the mid-00's. I took disposable cameras on school field trips. My friends could count on me to snap some photos anytime we had an outing. About ten years ago, I started doing casual sessions for friends and family when I got my first DSLR camera. Then, I went on to pursue a degree in nursing. While working in healthcare is fulfilling, I missed having a creative outlet in my life. So, I picked up my cameras again... and here we are.
What I Do
If you are looking for a photographer who uses natural light/nature and places a priority on embracing real bodies and faces, I might be a good fit for you. I like to offer a mix of subject-based portraits where you will love how you look, and context-based shots that tell a story. I really love black and white photography, and try to incorporate a dramatic black and white photo into every gallery. I tend to deliver true-to-life colors, sometimes edited slightly warm. I would not consider myself a "light and airy" photographer, nor would I consider my work "dark and moody". When a client requests either of those styles, I will lean a bit further into it. Overall, I want to deliver timeless photos that can be passed down in the years to come. Family sessions, couples/engagement sessions, smaller weddings and pets are my main areas of experience. Small touch-ups are complimentary, such as removing flyaway hairs and rogue blemishes. I am not the right photographer for you if your needs include extensive touch-ups, such as makeup remastering, airbrushed looks, or body modifications.
Social Media
Check out my Instagram page below. I showcase favorite shots from client sessions and on Fridays, I try to share photos that I've shot on film. I will share anything from a disposable camera to vintage professional cameras. That's my opportunity to show you MY slice of life on my favorite photographic medium, and some of the candid/documentary style possibilities with film.
