As a photographer (wedding photographer, family photographer, portraits or events), I’ve always been a fan of letting the moment craft itself in images and bringing all the laughter and smiles to the surface. Whether it’s a candid or a more planned session, I like to allow people to be themselves while grabbing the shining personal moments on camera when they’re least aware of it. That’s what makes me smile the most, and I promise it’ll do the same for you.

The photo shoot process is fun and easy going, as it should be. All the best images happen when everyone involved feels natural and comfortable. If that means chatting and hanging out for a bit before we get started, great! Let’s do it.
