FAQs
HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR APPROACH?
My work is rooted in emotion, light, and storytelling. I want your photos to feel natural and timeless — moments you can look back on and still feel. I balance gentle direction with space for authenticity, so your session feels relaxed and real.
DO YOU GUIDE US DURING THE SESSION?
Yes — I’ll offer light guidance throughout so you never feel unsure of what to do. I might give simple prompts or small movements, but most of all, I want you to be present with each other. That’s where the genuine moments happen.
WHAT IF WE FEEL AWKWARD IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA?
Almost everyone does at first. My sessions are meant to feel easy and unforced. I’ll help you settle in, move naturally, and connect in ways that feel true to you. You’ll quickly forget there’s even a camera there.
DO YOU EDIT EVERY IMAGE YOURSELF?
Yes. Every image you receive is personally edited by me: hand-tuned for color, tone, and emotion. My goal is for your photos to feel soft, intentional, and true to life.
WILL WE RECEIVE UNEDITED OR RAW FILES?
I don’t deliver RAW or unedited files. Each photo is a reflection of my creative process, and the finished gallery represents the complete vision.
WHAT MAKES YOUR WORK DIFFERENT?
I approach each session with care and connection — I’m less focused on perfect poses and more on how the moment feels. The goal is to create imagery that’s honest, artful, and deeply personal where the photographs grow more meaningful with time.
