it’s more than just a photograph to me. every time a person sits for a portrait, it’s an opportunity. a chance to capture the beauty in you that, for whatever reason, you might not see. everyone deserves to have that photo, the one you look at now with pride, the one you’ll look back on in the years to come with kinder eyes, the one you’ll share decades from now and recall just how beautiful you’ve always been. that’s the joy for me— making you feel at ease so my lens can catch the way the light touches your face, the angles of you, the life in your eyes. everyone deserves that photo.
