FAQ
How can I tell if we are a good match?
My ideal collaborations are with families who value authenticity. Families who prioritize being fully present and are enthusiastic about having their session documented as it naturally unfolds. When I arrive at your session, I do so without preconceived notions, dedicating most of my time to capturing the genuine moments of connection between you and your loved ones. My utmost desire for every family is that they grant themselves the freedom to wholeheartedly embrace the day, free from concerns or lofty expectations. It's this mindset that I aim to encapsulate, as I believe these are the moments that will endure eternally.

When should I Book?
My schedule often fills up well in advance, but if you're in need of a photographer, please don't hesitate to send me an email! I typically recommend scheduling at least two weeks in advance as a minimum, although there's still a possibility I may be able to accommodate last-minute requests.
