​During the pandemic, we moved from the city to the suburbs, and I finally got to convert the garage into a studio—a longtime dream of mine. I’ve always wanted a space where I could make a mess and simply close the door when I’m completely exhausted.

​

My approach to portraits is a particular blend of posing, direction, and discovering what works in the moment. Most importantly, I focus on coaxing natural expressions by encouraging movement and flow.

My ideal client is someone open to the unexpected, flexible with their expectations (especially about getting a very specific photo), and not overly self-critical about their appearance—even though I know that’s difficult, even for myself.

​

This last part matters because my own perfectionism can be triggered by that of others, which can create tension and stiffness for both of us. I want my sessions to be fun—after all, what’s the point if the creative process isn’t an experience in itself?​​​
