What can we expect during our session?I strive to capture simple moments that tug on your heart strings. I have found that there is no better way to photograph those moments than lifestyle sessions. Lifestyle sessions involve playing, exploring, and lots of snuggles to achieve timeless portraits that you can cherish forever. Throughout our time together, I will guide the interactions and keep the session flowing so you can relax and enjoy these moments with loved ones. You will never be left without direction. This guided approach allows me to emotive, connection-based images that tells your unique story. I love to incorporate details that are unique to you and your family's story. This could involve family traditions, elements you love, or places with meaning. These components of our session aren't grandiose things, but small mundane moments we all would like to remember one day.
