hi.

I am so excited to have you here!

The magic of childhood is what makes me live and breathe for my job, and if I had to pick a genre I loved most this would totally be it.

​My approach is a little different to your typical mini-shoots and conventional portrait sessions, as you'll probably see from my galleries.
​Please note: At this time I don't offer extended family shoots, as I work with a particular focus on the intimate relationships between young children and parents for a more narrative experience.
​

Normally we stuff our kids in starched shirts and ironed dress pants and drag them by the ears to a photography studio, but what if there was another way --

...one where they'll actually have fun.

​I take my family sessions as an opportunity to explore and interact with the environment together, which results in less posed headshots and more so as a documented story of how you connect with your little ones while having an adventure. Because I was formally trained at a fine art academy, I view my work as more of an experience, where I get to "paint" you in my style. This means that we'll be working together on picking out a beautiful location and sourcing unique outfits to set up our canvas. Moody, vintage, boho, cottage, retro — all of these look spectacular in this style of portraiture. It's almost like playing a little dress up! In this house we love bare muddy toes, picking flowers, and rolling around in the grass, so if you love these things too you're exactly where you need to be.
