If you are of a certain age, you may remember Glamour Shots, the mall studio that shot very soft, highly stylized and edited portraits of many ladies of a certain age (not judging--did them myself!) They were fun but we definitely did not look like our authentic selves--not that we were looking to look like our authentic selves either. It was a bit of fun fantasy but were not photos that stood the test of time.

When I am photographing my clients, I want you to look at your images and see YOU! So, here is a brief list of what I will and won't edit in your portraits!

​You are YOU and your portraits should reflect that: your authentic expressions & gestures–the things that make you who YOU are.

When my daughter recently said to me, “Mom, this is your niche,” it really made me pause. She’s right. In a world where many photographers are just starting their businesses, what sets me apart is my experience.

For over 30 years, I’ve been photographing everything from equine shows across the Midwest to high school seniors here at home. Alongside that, I’ve spent decades coaching and teaching, which has taught me how to connect with teens, ease nerves, and build real relationships.

This unique combination has shaped my photography into more than just pictures—it’s become a style. One built on:

• Knowledge & use of lighting that ensures portraits look polished in any environment
  
  
• Authentic connections that help seniors feel confident and natural in front of the camera
  
  
• Dependability that gives families peace of mind throughout the process
  
  

Photography trends come and go, but one thing stays the same: experience shows. And that’s exactly what I bring to every session. 

Fall sessions are filling up--are you ready to tell your story?
