Selecting images has always been one of my favourite parts of the entire process. By the time we reach the reveal and design appointment, something has usually shifted.
The anticipation of the session has passed, the photographs exist, and the conversation becomes less about creating and more about noticing.
I’m looking for the photographs that continue drawing your attention after the initial reaction settles. I'm noticing which images feel balanced together, which ones carry a similar energy, and which ones seem to reveal something slightly different each time they are viewed.
What I find interesting is that the images people feel immediately drawn to are not always the same ones they continue returning to once they spend more time with them.
There is something about seeing photographs together, allowing space for them to interact with one another, and considering how they will eventually live as finished pieces that changes the way people choose. It feels much closer to curating something that reflects someone honestly and beautifully.
That’s why I care so deeply about albums and finished artwork. Not because I think every image needs to become a statement piece, but because I’ve always believed certain photographs deserve to exist somewhere more intentional than a folder that eventually disappears into thousands of others.
The final collection is never about volume. It’s about creating something that feels cohesive, thoughtful, and still feels like it belongs to you long after the experience itself becomes a memory. That’s why we move slowly through the entire experience together.
