About me and my team philosophy:
The first thing I want you to know about me is that I love my job and I love working with children! I have worked with children for over 25 years and have seen how investing in them has a profound impact on their lives. One of the most important things we, as adults and parents, can do for children and young people is to cultivate their understanding that their individual value is immeasurable. Through my model teams, I work toward that end by providing a safe place for a child to be their 100% authentic self, no judgement. I make sure they know that I respect them and value their input and participation. The environment I provide is encouraging and positive. These teams will have the opportunity to hone social skills make friends. One of the most delightful parts of model teams, for me, is to watch bonds form between the models but between parents, as well. My goal is to create amazing images that you will love, but I also put a premium on the experience! I am a mom and a grandma and want to provide the same standard of excellence for you and your child that I would want for my own children.
What you can expect:
I am a full service photographer, and I have recently restructured my business. My prior business model was built around digital image packages. What I found is that the majority of clients end up either never using the images to purchase products, or when they do, end up with inferior quality products. My goal is that you receive a result worthy of your investment in the form of beautiful art that you will be proud to own, as customized products for your specific needs.
I have a very relaxed attitude with shoots, meaning I go with the flow! I strive for a fun, no pressure or expectations atmosphere. At this age, shyness can be a thing. Also, a photoshoot day may happen on a day when the model is having a hard day, and I will meet the model wherever they're at so we can collectively handle the shoot and come up with a Plan B if needed, providing the best possible outcome for the model. I tell you this up front because sometimes a parent will worry about how well their model will participate and that he or she might not meet whatever expectations I have, and I I want you to rest assured that I will never be upset or disappointed with a model who is facing a challenge. I want sessions to be relaxed and pressure free for you, as well.
You can also expect to make some new friends. One of my favorite things about my teams is watching them bond. It happens with the models and it also happens with the parents, and I just love it.
What sets me apart from other photographers?
Besides ensuring that you and your child have a fantastic experience, I place a premium on quality. My photography is my art; therefore, I take the time to build a clear vision for our sessions. I do not rush the artistic process of editing, treating every image like it would be the only one you would receive. And then, you receive professional, heirloom quality products, for which I personally offer a lifetime guarantee: If your product fades over time or shows wear in the form of scratches, etc, I will replace it.
