Hi!
I’m not really a “get-down-to-business” photographer. I want to get to know you, your people, and what makes you you. I genuinely love people, and I have a tendency to get a little emotionally attached. (I once asked my therapist if she wanted to hang out after our session, so…)
I’m always a little nervous before a shoot, wondering if I’ll be able to direct you into the photographs I’m imagining … and then, almost immediately, I’m completely at ease. Some of my favorite compliments have been, “You bring so much more to the table than just taking our photos,” and “I hope you’re okay with documenting our family for years to come.” Those will absolutely make me cry.
Outside of photography, I’m a mother, an artist, a sourdough baker, an espresso-and-croissant enthusiast, and someone who will choose a mountain, alpine lake, or all-day beach adventure whenever possible. I use exercise to stay strong in mind and body, and so I can keep picking up my kids for approximately forever … and also so I can scout the best shooting locations!
Warning, I tend to make unattractive faces when I look at the back of my camera and love a good “OMG, THIS SHOT!” moment.
We’re going to have fun. And if you’re a fuddy-duddy, don’t worry, I bet I can crack you eventually.
xo,
Jamie
