When I tell people that I am a photographer, usually their next question is, "What kind of photography do you do?"
Truthfully, I wish I had a clear way to answer this in just a few words, but instead here is my elevator pitch (if the elevator got stuck for a few minutes).
First off, I'll throw an umbrella over my work and say I am a portrait photographer. My mom always told me to put a person in the photos I take, and that's what I like to do!
So, what is my 'style'? Well, since I love a good metaphor, I'm gonna explain it to you this way: a scoop of vanilla ice cream with as many sprinkles as you want.
Vanilla: What's not to love? No surprises here. You want a beautiful headshot, or a classic family portrait with no bells, whistles, or fluff? I can light you beautifully, make all the kids smile, and deliver you a product you will love. Guaranteed.
Now, you may want to add a little bit of sprinkles to that scoop of vanilla. This is where we work together to figure out what your vision is, your style, and what kind of story we want to tell with your photos. Maybe it's a special location, celebrating a milestone, highlighting a hobby or interest, or you just flat out want something FUN to hang on your wall! We 'sprinkle' in the details that help tell your story.
Photography is a beautiful thing. Through lighting, props, locations, expressions, styling, perspective, special effects.. the list goes on.. we can build a story and capture a moment that has meaning, style, and highlights the beauty of who YOU are.
We chat, brainstorm, and work together to build a session that fits your vision, and we add as many 'sprinkles' as you want- maybe even a cherry on top!
And look. If you don't like sprinkles, that's okay! Maybe you don't like vanilla and you just want all sprinkles... I can do that, too! Every person is unique, and their photos should reflect that!
Need a corporate headshot? Let's probably lay off the sprinkles. But if you're updating a portrait of your family, kids, pets, anyone you love... let's sprinkle some details in there that are meaningful, fun, and different from everyone else's!
These photos are for YOU. Let's highlight the things we love about the people we love, in the places we love!
Am I talking too much? Well, looks like the elevator is fixed, so I'll leave you with this question:
Would you like to add sprinkles? :)
