Era of Elegance

e·ra

noun

1. a long and distinct period of history with a particular feature or characteristic.

​

Our individual eras are made up of moments that are sometimes fun and airy while others are difficult, comical or even magical. They all seem to fuse together into an elegant display of love and growth. In a world that is drowning in selfies, incredible photo editing advancements and social media why should you or anyone really need a photographer? I am not sure about you but I don't want my era defined by fish lips and downward angle pictures. There is so much undiscovered beauty in what is still untold. My mission is to help you define the characteristics and features in your life that need to be shared. I understand it can be a challenge to open up to a complete stranger with glimpses of intimate details of your life such as family, your children, milestones and passions, but it is my personal mission to create not just a photo but an experience that introduces a new level of comfort in front of the camera.  I think of myself as  warm and inviting as I really enjoy connecting with new people. I have yet to encounter a nut I can't crack! So bring me your spouses that morph into camera cowards, your toddlers that won't sit still and your family that never seems to smile all at the same time.  My sense of humor tends to set a lighthearted tone and a comfort between us making it possible to capture the moment. I am confident our session will reveal your era, not just as your see it but as you feel it. I look forward to learning about what makes your era unique!

Best Wishes,
