What’s your style?

Vibrant, happy, and fun. I love to laugh and have fun during sessions and enjoy couples who don’t take themselves too seriously. While I don’t like static posing, I do understand that most of my clients aren’t professional models and are likely a little awkward in front of the camera so I have a couple tried and true positions I can plop you into before giving you simple prompts to ensure that you always look natural.

Do we really need an engagement session?

Short answer: Yes, please.  Engagement photos are the best way to get all the awkwardness out of the way before the wedding day. The engagement session is where I’ll give you all the little tips and tricks for how to look your best in your wedding photos. Once you get your engagement gallery back, you’ll also get a chance to see how you look in photos and if there’s anything you or I need to tweak before the big day.  Perhaps I need to give you different posing suggestions, maybe you think you need more mascara or you didn’t realize that you don’t like how you scrunch your nose every time you laugh  – all good info to know before the main event.

WE'RE super AWKWARD. CAN YOU HELP?

If you’re a grown up who hates being in photos, join the club. I hate having my photo taken as well. Because I totally get it, I prefer giving prompts over static posing to ensure that everything you do is natural to who you are as a couple. I shoot pretty quickly and do it while we’re chatting so that you don’t have time to tense up. I often hear from my clients immediately following their sessions that they are surprised at how easy and relaxed they felt at their shoot, many even telling me they had fun, but there’s no way we got anything good because they didn’t feel like we were doing anything different than how they normally act. However, I always hear a different tune after they see the final images. “I can’t believe how great we looked!  You actually caught him smiling!” This is why engagement sessions are a great way to practice being photographed and ensures your wedding photos are much more natural, easy, and fun!

WE'RE NOT GETTING MARRIED IN WASHINGTON DO YOU TRAVEL?

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes! I love traveling for weddings and always have my passport ready. I’ve photographed weddings throughout the US, as well as Africa, Mexico and Jamaica. I love to travel to locations I’ve never been so ask if your wedding location is on my Must See list and you might just get a discount!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE UNTIL WE SEE OUR PHOTOS?

Standard turnaround time for engagement photos is 2 weeks. The turnaround for weddings is 4-6 weeks.
