About Me As A Photographer
What Makes Me Different as a Photographer
When I first picked up my camera, I didn’t just want to take photos—I wanted to capture real, meaningful moments. I wanted to create images that people could look back on and feel the emotion and stories within them. That’s why, as a photographer, I focus on more than just getting the perfect shot. I focus on getting to know you—your story, your quirks, and all the little things that make your moments special. Here’s a bit more about what makes me different and what you can expect when we work together.
My Approach to Photography
I’m all about fair, accessible pricing. I charge what I’d personally feel comfortable paying because I know how important it is for people to feel like they’re getting something valuable without breaking the bank. Photography should be for everyone, and that belief guides everything I do.
When we’re working together, my number one goal is to understand your vision. I’m a bit of a people pleaser at heart—I want to make sure you feel seen and heard. I don’t just want you to like your photos; I want you to love them, to feel that they genuinely represent who you are and what matters most to you.
My Gear: The Nikon D3400
My camera of choice is the Nikon D3400, a tool that’s been with me through countless sessions, capturing everything from beach sunsets to intimate family moments. I love the way it handles colors and details—it’s reliable, powerful, and perfect for the candid shots that tell a story. With this camera, I can focus on what really matters: capturing those genuine moments as they unfold. My favorite lenses are the 35 mm, 50 mm (obvi), and of course my telephoto 70-300 mm!
Why Candid Moments Mean Everything
One of my favorite parts of photography is hearing people’s stories. I love it when clients are candid about who they are, sharing the little details of their lives, their families, and their love. For me, photography isn’t just about posing; it’s about capturing those raw, unfiltered moments that reflect real emotions. Whether it’s a laugh, a tear, or a knowing glance, those are the moments that feel timeless.
Making You Feel Comfortable
As someone who doesn’t love being in front of the camera myself, I totally get it if you feel a bit nervous. That’s why I do my best to make you feel at ease. I might show you a few photos as we go along to let you see how amazing you look and give you a bit of reassurance. And I’m always here to offer a compliment or two—I want you to feel confident, comfortable, and most importantly, yourself.
Creating a Personal Experience
I’m all about creating a session that feels like you. One tradition I want to start is meeting my couples for a coffee before their shoot. It’s a chance for us to chat, get to know each other, and just relax. I also love it when clients bring along a playlist or even a small speaker—music can help create a vibe that makes the session even more fun and personal. And pets? Bring them! They’re family, after all.
A Few Final Words
In the end, my goal is to create photos that don’t just look beautiful but feel beautiful. I want you to look at your images and feel that they capture the essence of who you are. Thank you for letting me be a part of these moments, for trusting me with your stories, and for allowing me to capture the candid, raw emotions that make life so meaningful.
