WHY CHOOSE ME?
The best part about hiring me is…
My photoshop skills
People in the background? Gone. Hair out of place? Fixed. Dirt on your dress? Gone. Double chin? Rolls? flat hair? All fixed if you wish, and it’s already included. I’ve won several awards for my editing and am in the top 1% of photoshop editors in the world. Again, all of this, for you.
Use the sliders below to see a few edits.
IMAGE EDITING
Double chin? Gone. Bulges? gone. People in the background? Gone. Mental instability? Gone.
Okay okay, I can’t promise mental stability but I can edit almost ANYTHING. Editing is my game and it’s nice to know we don’t have to have every person looking in the same shot, we can head swap. We don’t have to worry about crowds or people in the background, we can edit them out. We don’t have to worry about acne, figures, or insecurities. I’ve got you.
Speed
Speed is so important in a good photographer. You get your images back within a week, and 2 weeks for weddings! All edited nicely.
I also photograph you efficiently. I know my camera settings without looking, am ready to go with poses, plan what to do ahead of time, and know how to work with people and kids to get things done well and fast while still having a good time. This is espeically nice if it’s cold outside or if we are keeping to a wedding schedule.
LOCATION EXPERT
I have a large, hoarded list of gorgeous locations for you to pick from all year round
BUT
I’ve intentionally practiced in ugly or odd places and can get a good shot anywhere! Indoor or outdoor. This is especially helpful for weddings or new places I’ve never been so you can feel confident that we can get the shot no matter what situation we are in. My eyes are well trained to find the gems, the good light, and the best spot.

Mom says I’m special
You already know this but
Two is better than one!
I try very hard to not be just another photographer. I LOVE what I do and want to make your experience as fun and valuable as possible.
One of the ways I do this is carrying two cameras on me, each with a different lens. One that gets the wide shots (the gorgeous world around us) and a telephoto lens that zooms in from far away (to get those detail shots without being in your face, and make the background appear larger).
That way, you will have a wide variation images you recieve back, and we can work quickly to get different shots and I can work quickly so there is little time of me stopping the flow of the day.
The telephoto lens will be your best friend, I can give you intimate moments from a distance while still getting close up images, and also make the background pop out and appear larger. Something few photographers usually do, that way you are getting the rare gems in the photography realm. Something different than everyone else. See an example of this below.

I’m just as excited as you!
I can visit the same place over and over and never get tired of how beautiful the world is. I can see a thousand sunsets out my window but I still get out to watch them every time. I often, OFTEN, yell out in excitement when getting the shot or photographing something amazing. I truly love what I do.
I always feel a tangible connection to nature, and often escape to it when my brain has too many tabs open. My family collects beautiful scenery like Halloween candy and we intentionally carve out several trips a year to get out and see a new corner of this diverse world we are in. I love nature on a spiritual level, mother nature is the best artist I’ve ever seen.
And you deserve someone like that to photograph you. Someone who sees the world like that.
