- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I focus on building connection and understanding the story my clients want to tell. Because I specialize in capturing meaningful milestones, whether it’s a multi-generational family gathering, a graduate celebrating a huge achievement, or honoring a beloved senior pet, preparation is everything. I collaborate as closely as my clients want on location, lighting, wardrobe, etc. as needed so they feel more at ease. My goal is to make the session smooth, comfortable, and natural, ensuring the final images preserve their legacy authentically and capture the beauty of the moment.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
My background of over 20 years in special education gives me a unique edge in communication, organization, and making people of all ages and abilities feel supported. On the technical side, I’ve invested in mastering mirrorless gear, lighting, and editing workflows. I'm also certified in Newborn Posing and Safety. I treat photography as a continuous craft, constantly refining my techniques to deliver timeless and emotive images.
