Take some time to browse through my work here and on Instagram, read “about me” and what people are saying who have worked with me. When you’re ready, just reach out.
Before our session, I’ll do two things.
Encourage you to have a plan with a heart. I’d love to talk with you and get a clear idea of your vision. I recommend meeting up in a place you’re familiar with or excited about, with a clear activity in mind. The plan could be to let me document your dad making grilled cheese sandwiches for his grandkids. We could go to the Rappahannock River to document your children swimming. I could tag along while you shop for a Christmas tree and put it up in your home, or hang out for a couple of hours on your annual camping trip. It doesn’t have to be special to anyone else, just to you.
Put together a contract. Once we’ve decided on an activity, location, date and time, I’ll send you a contract. Sign and return it, and Venmo me a $150 deposit to secure your session. Sessions last from 60-90 minutes.
Here’s what I’ll do during our session.
Look around. I look for light, color, and interesting perspective and composition. I look for things like movement, people’s energy, and items of interest.
Pull out my bag of tricks. Depending on the ages of the people in your group, I tailor my bag of tricks to create moments that draw out candid results. For kids, think magnifying glasses, tiny animals, magic wands, flower tattoos, bouncy balls, a rock collection.
Talk to you. I’m a big fan of just… hanging out. It’s fun to get to know someone quickly in an intimate setting. Over the years, many of my families have become good friends!
Let things happen. If a posed group shot is part of your vision, I can give you that. But where I excel is finding moments that reveal what’s beautiful or special about you and your family members, documented in my unique style—maybe in a way you’ve never imagined or seen before.
