THE GOAL
It would be my dream to have every shoot be at your home, property or a place you spend a lot of time in with your family (or even just a beautiful park or field), doing the things you enjoy doing with your people. Before every shoot, I wish my clients would think to themselves, "How can this help me remember this season." So, even if it's not at your home, doing something you love or that feels more like "you" can make all the difference!
So yes, if that means wearing your hair in a messy bun + grabbing popsicles for the kids, go for it! If that means letting your kids end the session playing in the dirt or wrestling with each other, let's do it! Maybe we walk to the mailbox and get the mail with the pup + kids! If your mini van and outdated house siding are in a few photos, it is okay, I promise in ten years you will be so glad to look back on these. Or maybe it means going barefoot at a nearby creek with the kids in their crocs and muddy clothes, I love it. Seriously.
If it reminds you of this season in life, I want to hear about it and capture it.
And sure, I love beautiful outfits and gorgeous sunset settings, I will never say no to that! It makes my job so easy! But the things that get my creative heart beating a little faster are always the unexpected, mundane things that you love - you just relax and let me in to your everyday for an evening, my job is to see and capture the beauty in it.
