Behind the Lens

As a former hospitality professional in Las Vegas, I have worked at several luxury resorts whose high-profile clientele included professional actors, models, and athletes who rely on personal service and discretion. This experience has been invaluable in my work as a photographer as I've learned to read people well, anticipate their needs, and make them feel like they're the only person in the room---and that is my goal with you.

I understand that being in front of the camera can be intimidating so I will create a positive and supportive environment to make you feel comfortable and at ease. I want you to walk away from your photo experience feeling confident and beautiful, knowing that you've created something truly special.

How do I accomplish this?  

First, I take the time to get to know you and understand your vision. This helps me create images that reflect your unique style and personality.
Second, I'm always thinking ahead and making sure that you have everything you need. This helps to minimize disruptions and keep the shoot running smoothly and efficiently.  Third, I provide excellent client service and communication. This helps with scheduling, locations, wardrobe, and any other questions or concerns you may have. Clear communication is the beginning of a successful photo experience.

 I'm constantly experimenting with new ways to use natural light in my photography because I believe it shows people the beauty in themselves  that they often overlook.
