Studio Closet 2025

In the last 13 years as a portrait photographer, I have seen trends come and go. I take pride in always evolving and creating new for my clients all while staying true to the vision. If you are someone who wants a glam style session with one of a kind gowns or minimalist with editorial styled looks, we have it all.

Styling and Posing Guidance

I will work with you through a posing flow that I have spent 13 years mastering and perfecting to make you look and feel your best. Together we’ll work in lighting techniques with elegant posing to bring the vision to a reality. If this is your first time in front of the camera, don’t worry about a thing. I will walk you through each setup.

Artwork

After your session, I will take your images and retouch them so they are polished without looking over done. Then, taking it a step further, I will use your images to create beautiful, timeless art pieces that make your images more than a portrait into a piece of heirloom art for your family.
