Introduction: I offer free 15-minute consultations which you can book through my portfolio site.
I focus on natural light and natural emotion.
I don't shoot in a studio or with a flash. My studio is everywhere, and I love playing with natural light.
As a subject of many a photo, I'm not a big fan of cold, awkward posing or forced smiles, and I aim to help people feel comfortable in front of the camera before I capture them. Yes, we'll do some posing of course, but I love the candid, in between moments the most. I try to avoid using flash photography whenever the light allows, because I feel that the flash can mask the delicate natural light that evokes emotion from pictures!
A quick note about Wedding Photography: Weddings are beautiful in and of themselves. The element of fantasy and big production is not what you’ll get with me. I don’t feel that it is necessary — In fact, I look at many fancy wedding shoots and feel disappointment even when the photos are so beautiful that they could be on magazine covers. My wedding prices are intentionally more affordable than most. Your photographer fees should not cause you financial stress. A photographer’s job is easy: Capture the love that is palpable on a wedding day. The industry is saturated with fancy shooting that I believe adds extraneous fabricated emotion. I shoot with my camera, equipped with a line of different lenses. I aim to capture the emotion that’s already present, and I don’t charge an exorbitant fee for that. Although I will ensure we capture all the posed photos with all combinations of people you want captured, I consider myself more of a documentary photographer at weddings. And it’s so beautiful!
I work with Adobe Lightroom for post-production to make sure the final product is sharp and clean cut as intended, and only send the best ones, to avoid cluttering your inbox. I provide a link to a downloadable Adobe Lightroom photo album within 2 weeks of your shoot, sooner for short/basic shoots.
I've been a hobby photographer for about 7 years, taking photos mostly for family and friends' special events. Since I'm relatively new to the professional space, I offer budget-friendly services for my first year as a freelancer (2023-24). Hiring a photographer can be expensive, but I'm here to work with all budgets to provide you with beautiful photos.
