What types of photography do you specialize in?
     I specialize in Newborn and Child photography.

Where do you draw your passion and inspirations from?
     I love to work with each client individually, and to create their newborn session around their nursery color scheme or theme. If the nursery isn't what they want the session to be planned around, then we pick a room in the home where they plan to display the images most.

What advise do you want to offer to a family who would love to book you?
     I'm a bright and colorful photographer. I love to include color in every session I photograph. While I always offer up the traditional, neutral color set ups within my session, I always include bright colors as well.

Plan ahead. Newborn and child sessions are usually booking 3-4 months out.

Do you have any words of wisdom for fellow photographers?

     Photography, like all other things in life, continuously changes and evolves. I am a very strong believer in continuing education, for all aspects of photography. I have enjoyed several workshops over the last few years, and I've met some of the most amazing, influential people through these workshops. I have a group of ladies that I met at one of my workshops that I talk to every single day. I think this keeps me on my toes, and with each session I continue to see new ways of posing or positioning.

What types of photography do you specialize in? 

     Newborn and Maternity

Where do you draw your passion and inspirations from?

     I have a couple of photographers that absolutely inspire me but typically the babies themselves inspire me, each baby has a different personality and that allows me to be able to match them with the right props, same with maternity, each family has their own personality and way of being and that allows me to be able to create the perfect photos for them!

What advise do you want to offer to a family who would love to book you?

     For newborns, always book when you are still pregnant, it is critical to get the baby in within the first two weeks to ensure those squishy sleepy shots! also bring lots of milk to the shoot! we will almost always need it! for maternity, bring several outfit options, its always better to have more and let me tell you what would look best than not to have enough!

Do you have any words of wisdom for fellow photographers?

     Keep Shooting!! the more you practice the more you will learn, and the more training/workshops you do the more you learn also. We will never stop learning or improving, and remember, the only person you should be competing against is yourself! look back at your old work and try to better it, never try to be like someone else, your clients will book you because they like what you do, not because your photos look somewhat like someone else's! It is very important to adapt your own style!
