"photography doesn't have to be scary! Keep it relaxed and enjoy the moment!"
Let's have some fun creating a mood board and bring the perfect shoot together!
About your boy...
Looking back even to four years ago I wouldn't have believe you if you told me I would be a professional portrait and wedding photographer! Not only that but traveling around the US to serve amazing people!​
​
Like that wasn't even in the plans, I guess the Lord had other ideas!​
I knew I didn't want to be another photographer that just took photos! I wanted it to be:
1. More than a photo shoot
2. A Place you're comfortable in
3. Photos that are meaningful and creatively beautiful!
​
Personally, I get really self-conscious when taking or getting my own photos taken! Haha might seem ironic being a photographer, but if I'm honest the camera can be really intimidating! Not only that...if you know me, It might be hard to believe that I'm an introvert by nature!
​
Right, doesn't sound like a great mix when it comes to being a photographer!!
Honestly that, and coming from a big family has really played into how I work with my clients.
One of my biggest things is to make sure you're comfortable and enjoy the shoot! Yes, I want you to love the pictures as much as I do! I also want you to love the whole process of the shoot! From having fun creating a mood board in your downtime, to having an amazing relaxing shoot!!
​
Words I live by as a photographer:
​
"Someone can take a good photo, but the best photos are the ones with the raw emotion! "
