What type of photography do you shoot?
My sessions are what is called "Lifestyle Photography". Lifestyle photography is a hybrid of traditional and documentary photography combined. What I try to do during every session is to have those traditional posed photos while also capturing the authenticity of your family.
What areas do you service?
I service multiple areas including but not limited to; Milford NY, Oneonta NY, Cooperstown NY, Albany NY and Saratoga NY. I love to travel to new and fun locations but travel fee acceding 50 miles or more.
What should I wear?
This is a complex question. This will be part our conversation and a styling guide will be emailed upon booking. However, the quick answer here is always wear earth tones. Earth tones shoot best outdoors and cohesively match the setting. For footwear always wear comfortable shoes that are neutral and blend into the ground. Lastly, momma's it's your time to shine. Get pampered and find your outfit first. I want you to feel comfortable and focus on being with your family instead of fussing with your shirt or dress. You are the most important on session day. If you are happy, I am happy.
How do you capture the authenticity of my family?
This is really a great question. The best way to describe capturing authenticity is by just being there with your family. Interacting, touching, playing and connecting

with each other. I like to prep my families in advance, that my sessions are child led.
A lot of time we as parents find it hard to force our children to "cooperate" and just
"do as they are asked". This causes unnecessary tension and stress on you. I love my sessions to be an experience of fun rather than an annoyance to you. If you are booking me get ready to play and maybe even get dirty and wet in doing so.
Where will my session be held?
The sky is the limit! The session location is your choice. I would like for you to pick a place that sparks a memory or that resonates with you and your family. I shoot in many locations. It really all depends on what you want in the background of your images; field, lake, barn, in home or urban setting, but if you can't decide I'd be more than happy to help. We can discuss your location once we book your session.
How do you choose which images to pick in my gallery?
My sessions are all inclusive. This means all the images you see in your gallery are yours!
session possibilities are endless. If you come up with the idea then we can create it together.
