You love photos. You love your people. You want more than just gorgeous images - I mean you do want gorgeous images - but you also want real ones. You want to really relax and enjoy your moments, without worrying about how your pictures will turn out. You want to feel comfortable in front of the camera… gulp! Is that even possible? (Yes! Yes! Yes!) You want something that captures the real you. The beautiful, real you.
I’m here to freeze time. So the magic that lives in ALL your moments, big and small, quiet and chaotic, and everything in between will be preserved forever; a time capsule for all that is magical, fleeting, and filled with life.
