Your Client Experience

From our first conversation to the moment you hold your finished portraits, my process is designed to ensure you feel valued, understood, and delighted with your investment.

Initial Consultation We begin with a personal phone call where I listen to your vision and answer all your questions. Together, we'll explore the possibilities for your portraits, discuss your goals, and review investment options to ensure you're completely comfortable before moving forward. This conversation lays the foundation for creating images that truly reflect who you are.

Planning & Styling Session This crucial step is where your portrait vision takes shape. During this personalized consultation, we'll collaborate on wardrobe selections, location options, and creative direction. I offer in-home planning sessions to provide you with a relaxed environment and easy access to your wardrobe. This thoughtful preparation ensures we create something beautifully unique that aligns perfectly with your vision.

Portrait Experience Your session day arrives with everything meticulously planned, eliminating any stress or uncertainty. You'll enjoy a relaxed, fully-guided experience where I provide direction for posing and expression while maintaining space for spontaneous moments. This balance of structure and flexibility allows your authentic self to shine through, resulting in portraits that feel both polished and genuine.

Selection & Design Consultation Following your session, we'll meet for your private image reveal where I'll guide you through selecting your favorites. Based on our initial consultation, I'll help you choose the perfect collection and design custom wall art for your space. From handcrafted albums and folios of matted giclée prints, framed artwork, and canvas displays—each piece is created to become a treasured heirloom.

Timely Delivery I understand the importance of receiving your images promptly. Portrait collections are usually available within 1-2 weeks of your selection, depending on the products you choose. Professional headshots are usually delivered in 1-2 business days, while digital branding packages are available within five business days, ensuring you can put your new images to work quickly.

For Business Professionals

In today's digital marketplace, your visual brand isn't just a nice-to-have—it's essential currency. I don't just take your headshot—I create the visual foundation of your business identity. A branding session with me opens new portals for authentically marketing your business. Together, we craft images that aren't just professional but distinctively yours—visual signatures that clients instantly recognize across platforms.

When potential clients encounter your marketing materials, they immediately sense something different: intention, attention to detail, and a clear brand message. Business decision-makers notice when someone takes shortcuts with their brand imagery. They also notice when someone invests in quality. The meticulous care you put into your visual presentation signals how you'll treat their business—with thoughtfulness, professionalism, and attention to every detail.

My clients consistently report that their custom branding images help them:

• Attract higher-quality clients who value expertise

• Command premium pricing with confidence * Build instant credibility in competitive markets

• Create cohesive marketing that feels authentic, not forced

My background as an observer serves my business clients particularly well. I notice the subtle ways you hold yourself when discussing your passion projects versus your day-to-day work. I catch the spark in your eye when you mention your company's mission. These observations allow me to capture not just your professional appearance, but the wholeness of what makes your business uniquely valuable—something clients feel instantly when they see your images.

I'm passionate about helping professionals find their visual voice—creating images that communicate your values and vision before you say a single word. When we collaborate on your branding session, we're not just creating photos—we're crafting visual trust signals that communicate your value instantly.

In a world where first impressions happen in milliseconds, can you afford generic imagery that looks like everyone else's?

For High School Seniors

Look around at most senior portraits and you'll notice a pattern—same outfits, same poses, same locations, creating a blur of images that barely distinguish one remarkable individual from another. Your senior year represents something far more significant than that. Through our collaborative "daydreaming sessions," we'll create something that goes beyond photography—we'll spark a transformation. I've watched seniors step into canoes who never imagined themselves there, only to discover a newfound confidence in trying the unexpected. I've seen the spark in their eyes when they realize creativity isn't just for "artistic people"—it's for them too.

"I never thought I would be in a canoe for my senior pictures," one client told me. What followed was even more powerful: "Now I look at that image and remember I can do things I never thought possible." These sessions aren't just about creating beautiful images—they're about opening doors to creative expression you might not have known existed within you. When we transform an ordinary field with vintage record players or build elaborate campsites with digitally-added campfires, something magical happens. You begin to see yourself differently—as someone who can think outside boundaries, who can dream bigger, who can approach life with creative confidence.

My years of quiet observation allow me to see beyond the surface with seniors—to notice when authentic excitement flashes across your face, when your posture changes as you discuss something you truly love, when your smile reaches your eyes. These observations guide our session, helping me capture not just how you look during your senior year, but who you truly are at this pivotal moment. What fuels my work with seniors is my passion for guiding young adults to express their unique voice through imagery at this pivotal moment—creating visual anchors that remind them of their potential as they step into their future.

Many of my seniors have told me how our sessions inspired them to take more creative risks in their lives, to approach college applications with more originality, and to express themselves more authentically. Your senior portraits become not just treasured keepsakes because they're impossible to duplicate—they become visual reminders of your capacity to be extraordinary in everything you do. This milestone deserves more than a photograph. It deserves an experience that teaches you to step confidently into the unexpected and find beauty there.

For Women

My empowerment sessions go beyond photography. They're about reclaiming your power and beauty. Many women come to me feeling a little insecure, unsure of how they'll look on camera. But something magical happens during our time together. By the end of the session, every single woman—without exception—marches out of my studio feeling like an absolute rockstar. This transformation isn't accidental. It happens because our sessions create a safe space for you to explore aspects of yourself you may have forgotten or never fully embraced.

I've witnessed women take creative risks they never imagined possible—from adding subtle boudoir elements to their portraits to expressing sides of themselves they rarely show the world. "I never thought I could look like that," is something I hear often, followed by, "I never knew I could feel like this." The confidence that blooms during our session extends far beyond the studio. Women tell me how they stand taller in meetings, speak more boldly in conversations, and approach challenges with newfound self-assurance after seeing themselves through my lens.

My lifelong practice of observation becomes particularly powerful during women's sessions. I notice the slight change in your posture when you find confidence, the moment tension leaves your shoulders when you begin to trust the process, the exact second when self-consciousness transforms into self-celebration. These observations guide our session, allowing me to capture not just beautiful images, but meaningful moments of transformation. Nothing ignites my passion more than helping women find their authentic voice through imagery—creating visual evidence of the strength, beauty, and power they sometimes forget they possess.

One client shared how her empowerment session inspired her to finally pursue a career change she'd been hesitant to make for years. Another described how seeing her portraits helped her reclaim her sense of self after years of putting everyone else first. These sessions become catalysts for authentic self-expression in all areas of life.

Imagine starting each morning seeing a stunning portrait that reminds you of your strength and beauty—a visual affirmation that helps you confidently stretch in unexpected ways throughout your day. That's the lasting impact of our work together. Anyone can take a picture. But I'm the artist who sees beyond the surface, who coaches you into your most authentic self, who places you in flattering poses that complement your unique features.

I pull your spirit forward through my lens, capturing the person you truly are—and giving that piece of yourself back to you. When clients tell me they don't normally like photos of themselves, I understand. Most photographs don't capture who you really are. My promise is different: "Trust me. I have a vision for you"—a vision we'll create together. Your story deserves to be told beautifully. Let's create something extraordinary together.
