Purposeful direction
I'll gently direct you into flattering, natural poses that still feel like you. Expect movement, laughter, and prompts that help you loosen up.
Genuine moments
My work seeks out in-between gestures: a glance, a thoughtful pause, the way light catches hair in motion. These are the details that make imagery unforgettable.
