Not long ago, I was asked why I shoot film. I would say it's just the overall look that is so authentic and real. That was until my computer crashed and I lost a very precious folder. I was devastated, until I found a physical photo album in which I had printed the images from that folder into tangible prints. So I ask you, where do your pictures really go if you aren't printing them? I am so worried about this generation losing the ability to hold their memories in the hands that I have decided to offer my clients the opportunity to do just that. 

I am forever chasing light and moments. I believe magical images are captured when using this combination. When you hold your images I want you to feel every breath, hear ever laughter, and remember every emotion of that exact moment. I want to capture the REAL you whether it is for a wall portrait or a typical day in your life. 

GET TO KNOW THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Lifestyle Portraits are among my favorite sessions because they capture LIFE. Forced or posed images are not what life is really about. There are hardly any pictures of my children in our house, where there wasn't a pile of laundry on the couch that was so high, all 4 of them could hide. There is that one picture where we tried for the "wall" portrait. But guess what, I didn't pick the most "perfect" one. The one that has been on my wall for 18 years is the one that had the one child that was causing havoc that day giving me his mischievous smile. Why you say? Because it captured what life was really like in our wild house.
