let's work together
Working with me offers a creative and personalized experience focused on capturing timeless, authentic images that reflect your unique style. You can expect a gallery full of true-to-color edits that highlight who you are, enhanced with creative elements for a distinctive touch.
Throughout your session, you’ll be guided through natural poses that feel comfortable and authentic, with opportunities to review and provide input along the way. Whether you come with inspiration or need help shaping your vision, the process is collaborative from start to finish.
Expect clear communication at every step, from scheduling to wardrobe guidance, and after the shoot, you’ll choose your favorite images from a proofing gallery to be refined with polished, natural retouching.
the experience
After our session, I immediately back up your photos for safekeeping and begin the editing process. My work is detail-oriented, and this is reflected in every image.
Once you've selected your favorites, I carefully retouch each photo, removing distractions like background people, debris, stray hairs, and blemishes—always keeping the focus on you. While this may sound extensive, I ensure the edits look natural and not overdone. Let's look at a few examples!
