Creative Elegance Photography

Introduction: Are you thinking it's time to have family pictures done, you have a vision in your mind of how you'd like the photos to look, but how can you find a photographer who listens, who really makes you feel heard so that your vision can come to life just as you imagine it to be? Maybe you've had bad experiences in the past with other photographers who didn't hear you or who railroaded you into doing things their way and you ended up with photos that you didn't like and that didn't reflect your family the way you see them. Perhaps you're worried that you won't look good in your photos, the kids or your partner won't cooperate, you won't know what to do to prepare or worse, in front of the camera. If any of this sounds like you, then I've got good news for you, because this is all where I love to come alongside families and couples to help. I like to get to know my clients and their visions beforehand, so we can work together towards a common goal. Client questionnaires give you a chance to tell me exactly what you're looking for, what you're worried about, and all the little nuances that make your family unique and should be captured in your photos. A comprehensive prep guide answers many of those before-shoot questions so you aren't left wondering what to wear or what to expect. As a mother of five children myself, I have the patience, perseverance, experience, and skills to not only take beautiful photographs of you and your family but to make sure everyone looks joyful and content in your treasured keepsakes. If you're looking for a photographer who specializes in candid, relaxed, real life shots while also incorporating traditional posed captures into the photoshoot so that your pictures contain the best of both techniques, then you've found your photographer. I use a blend of both posed, smile-at-the-camera pictures along with more relaxed, play-with-your-loved-ones moments so that your photographs are both authentic and classic, all included in one photoshoot. Let me capture your family too in a way that is both real and timeless.
