The only element that changes between the first frame and the rest is the lighting technique. In photography, knowing what light can do for you is everything. DM me if you have a concept you want to bring to light, so to speak.

You bring a unique perspective and way of seeing and being in this world. I work to bring this out in every photo session. You don't just show up and cheese for the camera. You bring your whole self and step into a setting that highlights your style, your story, your one-and-only place in this world.

Colors are an essential consideration for your photo session. They interact with each other and with light to set the mood and contribute to the story you want to tell.
Red, orange and yellow are warm colors. Notice how the red dress pops out from the green background, how orange and yellow work together to achieve a cheerful atmosphere, and how sunny yellow makes the blue jacket stand out (and also that blue and yellow are the colors of the brand she loves.)
You have seemingly endless choices for putting colors together, but some just don't work, while others pull entire concepts together.
None of these color combinations were accidents. They were put in place after conversations with each client, taking into account their personalities and purposes for the photos. This is only one aspect of the design consultation and only a few colors are presented here. Imagine what else we can draw from to make your session truly your own.

It’s YOUR photo session. Own it. What’s meaningful to you? Bring it.

This is YOUR photo session. Own it.
What is it that’s meaningful to you? Bring it.
Bring all the inspirations, dreams, and even the insecurities. They’re parts of YOU—and that’s what this is all about.

Sometimes there’s just enough of an outline to tell the story. Those who know him recognize how he stands and moves and the emotional pull is just as strong as it would be if they could see his face, and maybe even stronger.

The class of 2026 will be moving out into the bigger world soon, if they haven't already. Whatever new adventures await them, may they encounter them with courage and conviction.

A portrait is created from imagination. Behind it lies a series of decisions that tell you about the person portrayed. From colors and light, posing and expression, to the detail here that has extra special meaning for this (once) high school senior and her family.
When you plan your session, tell me about those details. That's how you make it your own.
