My grandmother Betty Jean loved elephants. She had tons and tons of elephant figurines and décor around her home. I love elephants in remembrance of her.

I’ve had a passion for photography since the 6th grade (11 years old). I officially started photographing professionally in March 2013.

I enjoy outdoor portrait photography the most. I like that you can see change in people over time through photography. Photographing people is more personal and most pleasing to me. Outdoor photos offer a wide variety of natural backgrounds and beautiful natural light.

My passion for photography is evident in my work. I truly love capturing special moments in people’s lives. Each photo shoot is personalized and unique and I go the extra mile to make sure each customer has their photography needs met. I like to collaborate ideas for looks, poses, backgrounds, locations, etc. with each customer. While I do like posed photos, I also encourage and like more relaxed/ lifestyle photos. I am very professional and timely and years of customer service experience has really helped me in interacting and satisfying my EMAZING customers.

1. The location should be chosen based off of 3 factors:

– The location is in a convenient area that makes sense and works for you and other appointments

– Your outfit/fashion looks

– The overall look/feel you want for your photos. Think urban or nature vibes.

NATURE: greenery, flowers, leaves, water, tall grass, trees, sun

URBAN: city, streets, buildings, graffiti, colorful walls, stairs, brick, lights

I can suggest locations or you can pick your own location.

2. Make sure all children are well rested & fed before the session beings. I suggest scheduling your shoot around your child’s nap time to capture your child’s best energy. Bringing dry snacks (non colorful, non sticky) is helpful.
3. Please inform children about their upcoming photo shoot. Getting them excited about the shoot will prepare them for the session. Encourage smiling, kissing, hugging, fun and affection during the session. Adults should also connect and be present emotionally and physically. Closeness and affection will make for loving photos. Planning a fun activity after the shoot can help children behave and do well during the session.
4. Feel free to bring a family member or friend to the shoot with you. They can help carry your personal belongings and make children laugh.
5. Makeup, hair and fashion styling is very important. Because of the high-quality technology I use, my camera and or lights will capture every detail. Its best practice to have your makeup done professionally to conceal problem areas, acne, scars, etc. and highlight your natural beauty. Don’t forget to bring additional lip stick/lip gloss. Hair being freshly styled, in place and well-kept will also make for better photos. Don’t forget a hair comb/brush. Clothing that is comfortable yet stylish is preferred (see style guide). Don’t forget to iron. Other things you can bring are lotion, a small mirror and flat shoes if you plan on wearing heels.

6. Accessorize; bring a hat, scarf, sunglasses, jacket, etc. Simple apparel additions can enhance and change your photos, giving you more variety in the shots.
7. Bring props with you to your shoot. Things that are important to you can help make your photos unique. Incorporating special items into your photos can make for special, one-of-a-kind photos. Example: For senior portrait session, a high school seniors may bring a class ring, school jacket, sports equipment for a sport they participate in or books for the field of study they plan to pursue. A mommy to be may bring baby shoes, an ultrasound photo, baby clothing, etc. for her maternity shoot.Ask us if you need ideas for props to bring to your shoot.
8. Planning ahead and being organized with everything needed for your shoot (clothing, hair, makeup, locations, etc.) will help you get to the shoot on time. Prepack everything you plan to bring with you the night before. Things commonly forgotten; bras, baby/kid’s shoes, socks, balloons, earrings & shapewear. Give yourself plenty of time to find the location entrance or meeting area and parking.
9. Be open minded and willing to try new things. Things that may seem silly can make for fun and creative photos.
10. Be ready to have fun. Laughing and movement is encouraged. Don’t get caught up in being posed, be natural and free. Enjoy the moment! Sometimes it is helpful to research poses on YouTube and Pinterest.

I started liking photography because it was fun, I want to keep it that way! I am a pretty easy going photographer. I like posed photos, but I really enjoy natural authentic moments. I like to capture people doing ordinary lifestyle things, enjoying life, creating memories with family and showing love that I can capture in a photograph. I collaborate with my customers, I do not control the entire shoot. I am always open to my customer’s ideas and needs for the shoot. I love colorful vibrant photos, as well as classic black and white photos. Laughter photos are always special to me because the smile is natural and the photo shows so much joy. It’s important that I capture closeness, love and affection among loved ones.
