Good news, I love helping with this part. After over twenty years of photographing people I have a knack for what looks good on camera and blend that with helping you choose options that make you feel comfortable and like yourself. I’m also an avid thrifter so during our planning meeting, if you tell me what you want. . .I will find it for you. I love layers, texture, print, and movement. I also can make something you already have look like couture. A lot of my clients bring a basket of options and we just play.

A 30 year native of WNC, I’ve got my spots. While I specialize in woodland portraits, I LOVE being challenged with in home or on location sessions too. Wherever you feel your finest, there we shall go.

Absolutely not.

But if you do want pictures in your birthday suit, I love capturing that in a way that feels celebratory not predatory.

• First we establish that you want for your session.

• Then we sign a contract, do a deposit, pick a few dates for the planning meeting and the session.

• Then we meet! Either virtually or in person, we will meet for about an hour to discuss why you are doing photos, what your vision is, come up with some co collaborative plans, and mostly to just say “hi! I’m a messy, real human. I’ve got you.”

• Then we shoot for 1.5-2 ish hours. We laugh, we get dirty and wet, we ENJOY.

• I edit my favorite dozen because I just can’t even wait.

• 4 weeks (or earlier) later I deliver a full gallery to you of your brave, beautiful self.

While my photos look very candid and wild, I am very quick to offer posing suggestions, give ideas to make something translate in a more powerful way, and make you feel comfortable, and tell you what to do with your hands.

I do tend to make Anchor Man type noises when I’m FEELING the shots, because guaranteed you will be feeling like royalty.

While my portfolio does showcase a lot of women, I want to be very clear that every single body is welcome as my client. While women historically are more likely to book a photo session, I have a heart for every single part of the gender binary. Even if you don’t have a box to describe that, I want you to feel powerful and beautiful in your photos.

Then your photos will remain safe and just yours. Sharing your photos publicly is not a requirement. Sometimes clients even decided after the session whether or not they want to. Sharing photos is a wonderful way for me to share my work, my process, and inspire other humans to step up and be seen-however your experience will be special even if no one else sees.
