Photography rooted in real moments.
I photograph people as they are — connected, present, and comfortable. No rushed minis. No forced posing. Just a relaxed experience and images that feel true to you.
ABOUT
Calm presence. Real connection.
Calm presence. Real connection.
I believe the best photographs happen when people feel comfortable enough to be themselves. I don’t rush sessions or force moments. I give space, pay attention, and document the connection as it naturally unfolds.
Whether I’m photographing families, couples, milestones, or creative work around Toledo and Northwest Ohio, the goal is the same: honest images that feel like the moment did.
What you can expect: gentle guidance when needed, room for real moments, and a finished gallery that feels natural and timeless.

APPROACH
NOT POSED. NOT RUSHED.
I don’t work in rushed mini-sessions or overly posed setups. My approach is relaxed and intentional, allowing moments to happen naturally.
That’s how you get images that feel genuine — the laughter, the quiet looks, the small gestures — the parts you’ll actually want to remember.
