Storybook Family Sessions are a timeless way to capture a memory!

 

Natural, spontaneous emotions with a focus on body language to capture the most genuine emotion. Now, there is some posing happening, loosely with my Posing techniques, there's also jumping, splashing, dancing and wrestling in the sand in order to  truly capture and portray the emotional connection you have with your family.  

Professional, on-location beauty lighting for every session. I want your family & children to look bright, healthy and radiantly alive. I do strive to capture the right angle with the correct lighting that will focus on your beauty.

 

 

I have worked as a professional visual artist since 1995, where my visual eye for composition in creating artwork for various uses has been highly trained. My college training includes a Degree in visual design, as well as professional lighting for Photographic & Videography, Digital Media. Being a visual artist is my Main Profession & has been my main focus for years.  I got my first DSLR as a highschool graduation gift before digital cameras were invented and you had to process film for your images. 

 

 

What could make a home more cozy & filled with warmth than a family portrait hanging in your living room, (three family portraits hanging in your living room...) I offer wall collections with heirloom canvas, metallic image blocks, mounted prints for framing & more.   

   

If you have young children,  don't worry about them behaving and jumping around for your portraits, that's part of the process! From splashing, jumping, climbing trees to cartwheels on the beach, capturing your children in an element of joy is just as important as the must-have family shot.. 

 

 

 

 For Family Sessions,  dealing with young children, getting them to relax and smile is part of the process.  (Don't be surprised if a cute furry monkey or stuff bear is attached to my camera lens) 

My children & family sessions typically last from 45-90 minutes depending on the kids. I generally shoot until we get the shot I'm looking for. I never schedule back to back, so we have the luxury of time to wait for the perfect expression of a moody three year old if needed. 

professional lighting, posing and a skilled visual artist to compose and arrange your family and

Homes filled with portraits of their ancestral family tree give their dwellers a deep connection to the past.  In my family,  grandma has a hallway filled with our family photographs which  showcase our history.

Create precious heirlooms for your family of times worth keeping. & days gone by so you can look back one day, and remember when they were little. That time is now.... 8312273592
