I am by nature a very analytical person (I am also a computer programmer) but most of my life photography has been my creative release. I&#8217;ve had a camera since I was a toddler, and was always the delegated &#8220;documenter&#8221; in my family and friends groups. This has taught me the value in learning peoples&#8217; stories, and finding the best way to tell them through photos and video. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_d16180-c5 >

I don&#8217;t want you to just show up for a session, click the shutter while you smile, and send you digital images that may just sit on a hard drive forever. Since I have had kids I&#8217;ve realized how important I find it to document them in authentic way where their true personality shines through, and to display those photos all over where they can see them- in a way that says &#8220;This is what our family looks like. You are beautiful. This is what your story has been.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<style>.kadence-column_5395db-fc >
