I’m much more interested in how you naturally interact than putting you into a long list of poses. I’ll give you prompts, movement, little things to do, and enough direction that you never feel like you’re standing there wondering what to do with your hands.

Some moments will be guided and some will happen completely on their own. The goal is to give you enough structure to feel comfortable without making the session feel staged.

I don’t believe in holding back photographs just to meet an arbitrary number. If an image belongs in the story of your session, you’ll get it.

That means the big moments, the quiet in-between ones, the blurry movement, the ridiculous expressions, and all the little frames I think you’ll want to remember later. Every final image that meets my standard is included in your gallery.

Your session does not have to be a slow walk through a field while you stare lovingly at each other. Grab a drink (or 3), dance in your kitchen, smoke a joint, order food, run into the ocean, or build the session around whatever you would actually enjoy doing together.

The more your session feels like a real date, night out, or piece of your everyday life, the more room there is for photographs that actually feel like you.

Location matters, but not because every session needs some huge cinematic backdrop. I want the setting to make sense for you, the light, the time of day, and the kind of photographs we’re trying to create.

I’ll help you narrow down locations, scout when necessary, think through timing and light, and build a loose plan so we aren’t figuring everything out once the session starts. You get to show up and enjoy it. I’ll handle the logistics.
