Couples
While my absolute passion is to document natural lifestyle photos in a documentary style at home or in a familiar space for a couple, I also enjoy scouting and finding something unique and different for outdoor sessions. I see the natural and real moments and photograph your life like a story. I believe in good vibes and positive energy, your photo shoot should be fun! I will never force a person into an uncomfortable pose. I believe my connection with people gives me an advantage to see how you can be portrayed in the best way possible.
