Portrait & family photography creating an inclusive space for you, your truth, & the ones you love.

MY APPROACH

You have a cute family,
or you’re getting a new job.
Your pet is aging, or young and new.
Maybe you want to celebrate
who you are and who you love,
every day of the year.

You want photos that showcase you — the true you — not some idea of who you should be.

your story,

your way

Natural, beautiful images that encapsilate you and your life.

You live your truth
every day, so why should
a photography session
be any different?

YOUR LIFE,
YOUR RULES

Portrait photography is an art. As strange as it may sound, though, my focus is not on creating art. My focus is on documenting your human experience in a true and natural way. The art comes from you, I’m simply channeling it.

I specialize in making photographs that speak to the relationships between partners and among families; to your relationship with your self and self-image; to the importance of connection and support rather than the excess and perfection of a staged drama. Sure, you want to look and feel great in photos. But you also want to engage in this tradition in a way that’s meaningful to you, and I’m here to support you and ensure you get that in whatever we create together.

 

 

FAMILY MATTERS

Family takes many forms, and every single family is to be celebrated.

I love making portraits of couples, families that include kids, families that don’t include kids, roommates, best friends, poly families, grandmas, babas, parents that defy gender roles and create a unit that works for them.

Invite me into the space of your life to document you and your family with as much beauty and integrity as you deserve.
