Families in Motion

My perspective on family photos is all about real life, real moments, smiles and shadows that capture people in the every day, with the ones they love. Obviously... there's a photographer present, with a camera. The secret is getting that fact to be somewhat forgotten, making clients fast friends, laughing, relaxing. It's an absolute must.

The greatest part about this is getting to see their reaction when they see their beautiful pics! We are all used to stiff photographs in scratchy clothes with pasted on smiles. My clients are often surprised that this is how they really look, happy, excited or even quiet and peaceful.

I encourage my clients and anyone taking pictures to be comfortable, dress the part and remember that they aren't supposed to dread their photography sitting!!

I am working on a super cool new sitting style, complete with music choices and a little bit of a makeover twist. Everyone deserves their fifteen minutes to last forever! :)
