As word of mouth is spreading and my work is becoming more in demand I am finding that I need more than
ever to place a premium on my time.

This also means that it is very important to be sure that your style and my style mesh. I have to do what I
love or I won't continue to love it and it will show.

My style is casual and free flowing. Sometimes set-up but not "posed". I like to talk with children (and
adults) and feel comfortable with eachother so that the image shows that comfort and relaxation.
I like unusual crops. I love color. If there is more than one subject in an image I love interaction between
them. I love details that show personality. I don't particularly care much about the "rules" of photography. I
have learned them and am happy to break them. I like to try different things and see if it works.

So, If you want a family picture posed with everyone looking straight at the camera and fake smiles
plastered on - I am not the gal for you. There are plenty of other wonderful photogaphers who love to do
that style of photography and are quite good at it. As a matter of fact I would be happy to give you referrals
if you need some.

I work on location with available light. The best times to schedule sessions are either early morning or late
afternoon or early evening (depends on time of year). I will come to your home or some other favorite
location. We can go to the fair if it's in town, or city market, or horseback riding, or just to a local park.
There are limitless options and they can all be a ton of fun.

Clothing:

SIMPLE is best but perfect is not mandatory - or even really desired. I want to capture the real you so wear
your blue jeans and your favorite t-shirt and those crazy bright colored shoes that everyone teases you
about! If it is a family portrait you clearly don't want to clash with eachother but you still should be dressed
in a way that is comfortable and real for you. If your kiddo is one who always has a crazy cowlick sticking up
- leave it up. Bring any fun props that you or your kids love, a favorite toy, a bright funky hat or scarf, beat
up skate board, old guitar, whatever strikes your fancy - we'll find a way to include it. It's all about capturing
the real you right now because that changes with time - especially with kids. And sometimes for some
people it doesn't change, ya know like how your grandpa always wears those old overalls - he probably had
some on in every snapshot of him as a kid! Can't you just see the "then and now" in your mind!
