You don't want your young, romanticized love, your dearest, once-in-a-lifetime memories, your deepest emotions to be lost to stiff, awkward posing.
10, 20, 50 years from now you want to look back at these photos that transcend trends, and be in a nostalgia-induced coma, still giddy decades later.
I'm here to create your heirlooms that record and romanticize the feeling in your most important moments. Consider these the archives of your life well lived, being with your most beloved people, and of being loved truly, deeply, wholly,
Incorporating your story right into the photos
If you like being barefoot or forehead kisses, if you have a secret handshake or love hugs- we're going to document it :)
Prompts over posing
Prompts allow you to loosen up, move around, interact with each other and the world around you. They're much looser than specific poses.
Capturing all the in-between moments
No smile and "say cheese" here. I prioritize moments and interactions over cheesy smiles and unnatural poses.

Prompts over posing
Focusing on interaction and living with an eyes-wide-open philosophy means lots of those micromoments, small interactions, and fleeting instances get remembered.

What's the
point of lifeless
photos?
My goal is to make you cry
you open your gallery. To transport you back in time and relive it all over and over again.
Everything I do- from the way we interact during photoshoots, to spending literally hours just to best curate your gallery- is to tell a your story.
You tell me your story,
and I'll repeat it back
in photos.
Let's make some art :)
The foundation of my photography is human connection before anything else- well... except light.
This is a collaborative experience, where you have as much say as you want and I'll support you no matter what and make suggestions where you need or want them.
I'm hear to listen and create with you.
Rules are meant to be broken.
To be clear: I only experiment as much as you want me to.
But in Deviation Nation over here, we can get as weird or normal as you want.
Experimenting is how you get those gasp-inducing, scroll-stopping images that make you look and feel like a piece of art.
That's why I shoot in a lot of harsh, weird light or put things in front of a lens. We can experiment with light, poses, cropping, composition, or just whatever is around us.
Let's get weird, my dudes.
Life isn't perfect.
You know what never seems to go out of style? Emotion.
What kills emotion? Akwardness.
What makes you feel awkward? Nitpicking.
I will direct you and I will not let you look weird (unless you want that- heck yeah), but I do not do a lot of strict posing.
Prompts allow you to interact with each other or the world around you instead of interacting with the camera.
Documenting you as you are, savoring every second of time, and having a dang good time is the goal.

Your storytelling photographer with a knack for helping you refeel alllll the feelings
I spent all of 5th-grade power washing fences and shoveling snow to earn enough to buy my dad's Canon Rebel XSI off of him.
I would never be the same.
Then once I got older and became chronically ill (I'm all better now) and life came to a dead stop... my appreciation for time changed. It was slipping through my fingers and I would have done anything to hit the pause button. So now I do for a living :)
