I am a wife, a mother, a
thinker, and a doer.
I love the light that spills
into our homes, illuminating our rooms with light and shadows.
With both my clients and my
personal work I relish an opportunity to capture something special within the
walls
we surround our family with.
I am also an outdoor girl at heart and mountains, oceans,
trails and parks all call to
me regardless of the weather. I suppose that’s why I prefer
shooting in natural light.
I feel comfortable outside – studying
the light, the shadows… the beauty in things big and
small.
Before taking my passionate
hobby and turning it into my dream job,
I worked for many years as a manager in
communication engineering industry.
I love to capture honest
photos, especially in black and white – photos that tell a story, that
transport you….
Through my lens I long to
freeze the precious moments of today
so that they can be aged and savored in
our tomorrow.
What is Lifestyle
I am primarily a “lifestyle” photographer. Lifestyle photography is a
documentary-style approach to sessions in which I strive to capture your family
very naturally and organically. We will do very little posing, but I will guide
your children to ensure they are relaxed and having fun. When children are free
to express themselves naturally, the result is an honest and timeless
collection of images that truly represents your family and all that is unique
and wonderful about you.
Where we will Shoot
I am happy to come to your home if you would like to capture your
family within your own personal environment. I also love to photograph outdoors
– parks, beaches, nature conservatories, city streets, cafes… To save you the
trouble or worry about picking the right location, I have carefully selected
locations with each of these “looks” that offer optimal late daylight. Please
let me know what you have in mind and we will find the perfect place! We will spend 1-2 hours together to
ensure we capture wonderful, natural images of you and your family.
Investment
For families, couples and newborns I offer packages that includes 120
minutes of shooting time, premium quality and digital files. Upgrade options
are also available. Mini sessions are available only to clients who have booked
a full session within the past year. I also offer mini sessions as part of my
Maternity & Newborn Package. Birth photography, just born sessions and
wedding packages also available. Please contact us for full details.
What to Wear
Clothing is very important to the session. Textures, colors and layers
can really add beautiful depth and dimension to your images. Items that are
great include sweaters, ruffles, scarves, lace, a jean jacket, a crocheted
dress, and accessories such as bows, necklaces, funky shoes, and cute hats.
It’s best for clothing to be free of distracting patterns, brand logos and
graphics, although plaid and polka dots usually work well. I also find it’s
best if people do not wear stripes as they can be distracting to the image. I
like to capture my clients in a very natural and organic fashion so clothes
that moves and flows, such as maxi skirts and dresses, is a beautiful choice
for women and girls. And remember: color is wonderful! It’s usually best NOT to
dress everyone in white or navy. (In fact, it is important to avoid having too
much navy.) It is said, you probably don’t want a whole rainbow of colors, so a
good rule of thumb is to try and keep everyone within the same three “accenting
colors” (colors other than gray, black, white and beige). With neutral colors
(gray, black, white and beige) you can mix and match as much as you want.
Regardless of how warm it is, it is usually best if men and boys wear pants
instead of shorts. If you are ever unsure, it can be helpful to bring several
outfits and extra accessories or layers to your session so that we can work
together to create the look that is best for your session.
Color vs Black & White
As you can see from my website, I adore the timeless quality of black
& white photos. I am not, however, exclusively a black and white
photographer. As I hand-edit each of your images, I will include mix of color
and black and whites so that you may purchase the images that best fit your
personal taste.
When you will get your Images
Within 2-3 days of our session I will provide you with a “sneak peek”
from your session which will include 1-3 images. With your permission, I
typically share this “sneak peek” through my Facebook page.
You can expect to receive your final images/prints approximately 2
weeks.
For Businesses
Let’s work together to authentically capture the essence of your
business. Through my artistic use of light and shadow, and my commitment to
capturing authentic and organic moments, we will create truly unique and
captivating images for your marketing and promotional needs. Most commercial
work is done on location. However, studio work is also available. Primarily,
natural light, with studio lighting as needed.
