Portraits & Modeling

It's not just about a beautiful portrait;

it's your soul shining through the photograph what makes us fall in love.

"Wow, that's me..."

It's a wonderfully common thing I hear during our photoshoots. Most people think they're not photogenic. There's a lot of myth around this idea. I promise you, with all certainty, that you're going to fall in love with yourself once you see the magic we make. I will guide you through it all, every step of the way.

It doesn't matter if you've done photoshoots before or not. It's very normal to be nervous before a photoshoot, you're not alone! My goal and joy is to make this experience an exciting and empowering one for you.

Everybody deserves to be seen and heard.

The photoshoot experience

before the shoot

I always love to learn a bit more about you; things you love, if you have an idea/style you like, outfit and location ideas, and answer every question you may have so you feel ready and confident about the shoot.

photoshoot day

I will meet you all ready at the location. We'll take a moment to get to know each other a bit more, look at the outfits you brought and choose an awesome music playlist.

I want to capture you so I do everything I can to make sure you feel safe, relaxed, and able to be yourself. I will guide you through the entire process. I guarantee we will get stunning images that you will love.

after the shoot

Following the shoot, you’ll receive a selection gallery where you will choose the images you want professionally edited. Once you’ve made those selects, I’ll go through my, very detail-oriented, editing process.  Finally, I will deliver your professionally edited photo via a private online gallery in full high resolution without any watermarks.

You'll also have the option to order prints within that same gallery. Highly recommended!
