My job is to enhance your philosophy of style. I’ll use a variety of lenses to get full length, mid-length and close-ups. I welcome your ideas for location and I have a few favorites I can recommend. If this is your first solo shoot, it might feel a little awkward. So, I’ll take a few “icebreakers” just to get you warmed up. I want you to be relaxed in your photos, so we like to joke around with you and make it fun.

Getting Ready For Your Senior Portrait Session is Half The Fun!

First, I will work with you to choose a style that suits your personality, whether you prefer serious, glamorous, starlet, trendy, fashion diva or casual. With so many looks to choose from, I find that building an exclusive Pinterest board is a helpful way to discover your favorite styles. To help me understand you better, I will ask you to fill out a questionnaire about yourself. This helps me get to know you and craft a session that is unique to you. Are you simple and sophisticated or do you love bold looks? Let me know, and I will help you to create a fashion ensemble that best reflects your true self.

Seniors | Welcome!

This young lady was one of the first I met when my little family first moved into Fresno. We became her 13-year old Sunday School teachers. We learned she was big into swimming... Not surprising here in the Central Valley. Aquatics is HUGE here. She became our regular baby-sitter. And, I knew I wanted to capture her FUN personality! That's where I come in. I want to make your session day fun and not so stressful. Through a pre-consult, we can discuss and figure out all of the logistics. We can walk through this together. I love to play, and joke, in order to get truly authentic emotions. If your smile reaches your eyes, I know I've done my job.
