I love to create moments that evoke emotion, awe, and even inspiration. Sometimes that means capturing that raw candid connection, or sometimes it means prompting you with a silly question to draw out those natural giggles. I am very laid back during my sessions and am often told that I am very friendly. Quite a few jittery brides have thanked me for being so calm and fun on their wedding day. I will always be there to help in any way that I can. Like in Toy Story, “You’ve Got a Friend in Me”. We don’t remember days, we remember moments. Let me capture yours!
