I build each session around my clients- what they need from their photographs, what they would like to include, and with sensitivity to any insecurities. I guide people through the process- everything from location and wardrobe to hair/make-up and posing- to ensure that clients are relaxed and confident for their sessions. In the end, I hope my work shows much more than what my clients look like- I hope the photographs reveal a little bit about who they are.

I've been honored to receive several awards for my work, in addition to having my images appear in publications including The New York Times, CNN and National Geographic. That said, the highest honor is when I capture something meaningful for my clients that they treasure for a lifetime.

There is nothing more rewarding than when my clients look at the photographs I've taken of them and realize they are proud of how they look. It is empowering for my clients; and it is a joy for me. Professional photography is very different from everyday snapshots- it is a very detailed process-- but at the heart of it all, is the people I work with.
