The importance of intimacy during your engagement photos is underrated

The importance of intimacy is underrated. Being able to relax and be authentic to have those intimate moments documented is a luxury. Think about it, you’re with a stranger who has a camera or three. Haha!

Having photos taken, is an intimidating and uncomfortable experience for many and finding a photographer you trust and like should be a top priority.

That’s why part of my job is to work with my clients to make you comfortable and relax. You might even forget I have cameras on me.

Authentic and Real

The photos you’re going to cherish and love the most are the ones where it feels the most authentic and real. With me, you’ll have plenty of those moments!
