ABOUT ME

Passionate & Personal Photographer

What makes a photo uniquely you? Expressions, timing, lighting, angles, and of course, poses! 

For professional head shots, I always ask people to make expressions that match their profession. I've photographed teachers, engineers, actors, and more, and each head shot is specific to the photo's target audience. An engineer searching for a job will not need the same as the range of expressions as an actor going into an audition-- so why would we use the same pose?

But posing can sometimes make a photo seemed staged or fake, right? Not with me! I am fond of jokes, reminiscing, and imagination, so laughs aren't forced and poses are genuine. By getting to know you before taking your picture, I ensure that no matter what pose you're doing, your expressions are real, unique, and purposeful.
