Me. The Photographer. You. The Model.

As a photographer, I want you to see your photos as if you were taken out of a magazine. In this small town, we sometimes feel like we can only be so much and look so good. But in reality, we’re better than what we see ourselves as. And that is what I want to show you when I photograph you. I want you to see yourself stronger than you think you are. My style revolves around boudoir, a moody look, or beauty and fashion with some glamour thrown in. Even though the goal is to stay simple, our work together will be far from it.

None of the people on the page are models. They’re people. They are college students. Musicians. Dancers. Nursing students. Hairstylists. But you see them and they look amazing. They look like models from those magazines we love. I’ve met some of them at church, or at the gym. At the bar, or just at other random places. I’ve known some of them for years. And some for just hours. But when we shoot, we share stories. We learn about each other. We get comfortable. We become confident. And that’s when these photos happen.

So now what? Well… if you’re in the area and want to shoot, send me a message. Tell me what you’re thinking of trying. Tell me what you always wanted to do but never had the opportunity to try. And let’s make it happen. I’ll walk you through the whole process. And at the end of it, you’ll have these images to share and look back on.
