About me.... I am a mother of four who loves photography and I find sharing that love of photography rewarding. My portraits are about capturing personalities and moments. I prefer a relaxed approach that allows me to capture who the subject truly is - not just what he looks like. Whether it's your beautiful growing belly, your baby's crooked toes or the way he scoots on his tush instead of crawling, your toddler giving you the stink eye or dancing around in a tutu, your young one with his first black eye (it may be the first of many), or your teen who may or may not smile depending on the day. I strive to capture images that, when you look at them over the years, will carry you back in time and make your heart warm and a smile cross your face. Why choose me ??? All sessions are on location. I find that on location sessions, whether at your home or some other location of your choice, allow you to be more relaxed and feel less rushed as well as express more of your personality (which is what I want to capture). Sometimes the location is a park area and other times it is a gritty part of downtown, or in your own living room. It depends on you and your style. I won't rush you. Sessions generally last 1-2 hours so you have plenty of time to relax, change outfits, and even change locations. Expert artistic enhancements, including complexion correction, are INCLUDED WITH EVERY IMAGE YOU ORDER. These enhancements take an extensive amount of time and are one of the things that sets my work apart from other local talent. I have developed my methods of enhancement over time and it is a part of my style. No need to worry if you wake up with a pimple on the end of your nose or your little one has a bruise on his forehead. Roll your mouse over the below photos to get an idea of just a few of the enhancements that are typically made. To top it off I am now offering full resolution digital files. This is not an easy adjustment as I very much like having controll over the finished product and as a professional I KNOW that NOT ALL PRINT LABS ARE CREATED EQUAL. But everything is going digital and the number one selling gift last Christmas was digital picture frames. So it is time to make this change. |
