Although I am not opposed to props or posing, candid photography makes me most happy and is the style I tend to lean more towards.  I really enjoy photographing newborns, bellies, families, Mamas with their babies, and even recently photographed a birth which was amazing.  I absolutely adore children and they continue to be my favorite subjects.  Their flawless beauty and mischievousness is so innocent.  Being able to capture that on camera is incredibly gratifying.  As I know, toddlers can be moody and uncooperative at times {I have two of my own} and they're almost impossible to pose BUT the very fact that they won't hold still even for chocolate or take direction makes each photo so completely natural.  When they are sweet they're so sweet, and when they're bad ... the pictures are even better.

 

I shoot 95 percent of the time outdoors, using only natural light.  I use my 50mm lens for almost all my sessions unless someone decides to play shy in which case, I'll pull out my zoom.  I am extremely laid back and open to new ideas and venues.  If there is a place your family always goes together, or an activity you enjoy doing, take me along to photograph it.  I am also available for in-home sessions which gives candid photography a more intimate feel.  Children especially are more at ease when they know their surroundings.  When photographing a child, I ask the parents to please bring along anything they think will make him or her more comfortable {favorite blanket, stuffed animal, toy, snacks, bubbles}.  Once they are relaxed, they start to have fun and that's when the photos are the best.

 

Sessions are very relaxed and informal and can run anywhere from an hour to two hours.  Please contact me with any questions and for prices which will include a sneak peek and a disk of all edited images to you within two weeks of said session.
