PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY · PETALUMA & NORTH BAY
Portraits that feel like you.
You don’t have to know how to pose. You don’t have to be photogenic. You just have to be yourself.
THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
It starts with a conversation.
Before I ever pick up the camera, I want to get to know you. We talk about who you are, what you’re comfortable with, and what we might create together.
When it’s time to photograph, I keep things relaxed and natural. I’ll offer direction when you need it, but I’m also watching for the expressions, gestures, and moments that happen when you stop thinking about the camera and simply become yourself.
SELECTED WORK
People, personalities, and moments — photographed with connection, curiosity, and an eye for what feels real.
THE EXPERIENCE
Guided when you need it. Natural when you don’t.
You don’t need to know how to pose or perform. We start with a conversation, and from there I pay attention to the expressions, gestures, and moments that feel naturally like you.
01
Connect
We start with a conversation. I want to know who you are, what you’re comfortable with, and what you’d like us to create together.
02
Create
During the session, I’ll offer direction when you need it, but I also leave room for you to relax, move, laugh, and simply be yourself.
03
Deliver
You receive a carefully finished collection of photographs that reflects not only how you looked, but something of who you were in that moment.
