Portrait Sessions
Welcome to my site! :)
I specialize in Family & Children's Portraits. I have been shooting professionally for 22 years.
My shoots are always photographed outdoors, on location, using sunlight and nature as my "studio".
My shooting style is very casual allowing for an easy, fun, relaxed experience.
I photograph individual portraits of each child, the children together, the parent/s with each child and then the entire family together.
I shoot a mix of both classic portraits and candid, fun shots.
My goal is to create a beautiful Collection of portraits of your family.

What to wear?
I recommend dressing casually as we do sit in the grass and tend to walk "off trail" into tall grass / meadow areas. Jeans, leather walking shoes, layered tops. Bright colours are great and can add to the "fun" of the shot. For inspiration, please visit my Pinterest page which I've created for clients to get an idea of what to wear. Always make sure that clothing is clean and ironed. Professionally applied make up is a bonus!
What to bring?
A pretty blanket to sit on is a must. One that matches your clothing / colour scheme... because often grass is damp. Snacks / drinks for the little ones are also a good idea. Lint roller, hair brushes, makeup, hair spray, etc... Anything you feel you'll need to be picture perfect!
Inclement weather:
- In the event of poor weather (rain, extreme heat, too cold, too dark / overcast or windy), shoots are rescheduled with no fee.
