Welcome — Our Creative Story Begins Here.
If you’ve arrived on this page, it’s because you were personally invited into a creative process that’s a little different from the ordinary. Think of this as the prologue: a glimpse into how our sessions unfold, the rhythm of the work, and the kind of experience you can expect when we step into a shoot together.
Every portrait session is its own small narrative. Before the camera ever comes up, we take a moment to build the kind of trust that lets real expression surface. The strongest images — the ones that feel alive — come from that connection. Many of the faces you see above belong to people I spent time getting to know long before we created anything. That comfort becomes part of the frame.
When we shoot, the energy shifts into something organic and exploratory. I like to keep things loose, open to discovery.
My goal is simple: sessions that feel like an experience, not an appointment. Fun, productive, and creatively charged — the kind of collaboration where you walk away feeling like we created something worth remembering.
Frequently Asked Questions
"What tah heck is a Duffel Shoot?"
When we first work together, I find it more constructive to have a session in which we get together with a duffel bag full of your favorite wardrobe and do a mix and match either in studio or on location
"Can I bring a friend?" Of course! You are more than welcome to bring a friend. If you are under 18, you are actually required to bring a parent or legal guardian
"I have never done modeling before, how will I know what do do?"
Part of the skill of photography is knowing how to make people feel comfortable and get them posed in front of the lens in a flattering manner. That is what I do.
"I have never felt like I take good pictures"
This is were my skill as a photographer comes in to play. I will analyze all aspects of you, the location, the wardrobe, etc, and assemble well thought-out photos.
"How will I change wardrobe in the field?"
We have invested in a portable changing tent allowing the ability for you to change or adjust your outfit in privacy.
"How long does a session usually last?"
For a duffel shoot, plan on 1-2 hours, for a formally planned shoot, plan on 1-4 hours depending on the complexity.
"How do I need to prepare for a session for hair, makeup, etc?"
For a duffel shoot, no major prep is required other than your normal daily hair and makeup style. For planned sessions, we will bring in Hair and Makeup specialists to get you ready.
First and foremost, I set out to make the whole experience fun for everybody. With that being said, I do have some simple rules:
1. I do not allow ANY illegal drugs, alcohol use, marijuana or tobacco products at any sessions or pre-session meetings.
2. We will not trespass on any property where we do not have property owner permission.
3. Any illegal activity will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
Plan to show up a bit early! 10-15 minutes is normally a good amount of time to be early. This allows you to take in the situation and relax before we get started.
We aim to make the session as relaxing as possible. As such, I will have at least 1 assistant with me, and you are welcome to bring whomever you like as a chaperone!
Depending on the type of session, we may wrap early, or if we get inspired, we might shoot for some time! When we know, we know.
Above all, I am conservative. I will never expect you to dress in any outfit more revealing than a conservative one or two piece swim suit (and that's only if you are doing a swimming theme!). I do not do boudoir, pinup, or overtly sexualized imagery and therefore, you will never be asked to participate in such activities while modeling for us.
Above all, the goal is to have fun and create some quality photos!
