My goal is to capture the moment, the personality, and the details in a unique way. I would describe my work as contemporary, minimalist, vibrant, and emotive. I love rich textures, bold colors and high contrast black and white portraiture – but most importantly, I want the subject to stand out.

Central Kentucky offers a wide range of backdrops: Horse farms, beautiful parks and a historic downtown. Make it personal, and set it up at your home, grandma’s yard or your favorite spot in town. Most importantly, it should be someplace you and your child/family feel comfortable. If you have a reserved child, it might be best to chose a place they are familiar with. Adventurous kids might enjoy exploring a new location. Take your pick or leave it up to me to find that perfect location for your session. Newborn sessions are held at your home for your baby’s comfort.

Keep it simple! Kids need to be in clothing that is comfortable. For babies under one, I like to get some in their birthday suit or diaper. My favorite accessories for babies are hats, and for kids, colorful hats and scarfs and layers – it’s easy to change the look without making them fussy with lots of clothing changes. For family sessions, it’s good to have everyone in the same tones, coordinated but not matching. If you need specific ideas, let me know, and I’ll be happy to help.

The sessions are fun, spontaneous and laid back. We’ll walk around and play games. My goal is to capture your children as they are, doing what they love doing (in great light, with minimal background distractions ;)). With babies, and toddlers, you will find me following their cues & letting them lead the show. I’ll get natural shots while I interact and play games with your children. I have the same goal for family sessions: have fun, be yourselves and show your love towards each other!

To book your session, send me an email or fill out the contact form with your preferred dates/times & type of session you need. We will start with an email questionnaire and session consultation and get your dream session planned. I want this to be a fun, personal, and memorable time for your family, children, or high school senior. We can chat about locations, outfits, must-have images, and where & how you want those images displayed and shared. My goal is to make this as stress-free and easy for YOU.

Weekends tend to book fast, please contact me at least 2-4 weeks in advance. Due to the custom nature of the work I do, I only schedule a limited number of sessions per month. If you are expecting a baby, it’s really important to contact me as soon as possible, preferably no later than your second trimester, so I can ensure availability around your due date. I recommend scheduling your maternity session at the end of your second trimester or beginning of your third trimester.
