Services
It's ok to feel vulnerable, nearly everyone who sits in front of my camera feels awkward or uncomfortable initially.
See that woman in the photo above?
That's ME!
I scheduled my own personal photoshoot IN 2018.
The day of my shoot, I enjoyed being pampered with professional hair & makeup, just like you'll enjoy.
And I'm in no way making this up, my smile is so awkward when I try to smile for the camera.
I remember warning my friend how bad it was, and nervously wishing her good luck.
When I sat in front of her, I remember feeling so uncomfortable, (I'm so AWKWARD!) but my lovable friend & colleague guided me from pose to pose and my nerves quickly melted away.

I love how easy-going Jenn is!
And I really appreciated the time she spent with me before our shoot, helping me plan - that helped me feel less nervous about our shoot.
Once I got to the studio, my nervousness went away and we both did what we do best!
It was awesome!
Jenn and I talked about the look I wanted before our shoot.
She made sure to have me bring pose ideas, and she had a list of ideas too.
In my wildest dreams I never expected to feel so creative and have so much fun, it was awesome!

Once we get started shooting, they quickly feel my own self-confidence - I'm very good at what I do - and that helps them relax & have fun!
I coach them every minute of their shoot.
They'll go from feeling awkward to wishing our shoot would never end in about 2 minutes.
I watch kids transform from shy to 'model' right before my eyes.
And THAT is why I do what I do.
A confident kid is a kid that's not afraid to say 'no' to negative influences and situations.
Confidence rules the world.
The early tween & teen years are full of insecurities and comparison.
