about
My family photography philosophy is simple. Make sessions so fun that kids want to come back. I remember back to when I was a kid and photography sessions were a drag. The forced smiles and boring posing. I'm in it for the long run, I want your kids to look back on the photos with fond memories of fun had together rather than awkwardness and resentment.
Let's Talk Process
From shooting to delivery it takes generally 2 weeks. During busy times (usually fall for me) I may extend that time.
After booking I'll contact you to discuss the finer details of the shoot: location, editing style, desired shots. Please note that I do not shoot outside the HRM. All locations I offer are within.
On arrival I always offer to give a mini "posing" tutorial. Just a couple tips on how to position and hold your body throughout the shoot that help you look your best.
After that the shoot begins! I'll describe the scene, give you a little prompt, and like magic we make memories! Please keep in mind that children do need frequent breaks between shots. Generally speaking kids have an attention span of one minute per year of age!
My Passion
I am obsessed with creating aesthetic images full of vibrant family love. Seeing families connect and solidify that feeling of family, it's what gets me out of bed. Research shows that children who see family photos in their home have better self esteem. That's why I've recently started offering packages that include prints. The last 20 years has seen a shift to using family photos for mostly social use; but what matters most is what is in the home.
