Experience

Photo Sessions

Photography is not just about the final result, but about the process. There is a real moment behind every photo, a memory that should bring emotion. The first sunbeams on your skin in the morning. Running along the beach with your loved ones. Jumping to the water. Watching a sunset that feels like a painting.

We will capture a mix of guided and candid moments. I will give you clear direction when needed, but most of the session will feel natural and easy. We will move, explore, and let things unfold. The goal is for you to have fun, and forget the camera is there. Let your emotions loose. If you feel like doing anything, do it. Climb the tree. Pick up the shell. Dance in the rain.

We are not just taking photos, we are creating memories.

Proposals, elopements and Weddings

It is special when you let me into your life and I get to capture something we can call a milestone or the beginning of a new chapter. I am honored to witness it, and I will be fully there with you. I will laugh with you, cheer you on, get teary during your vows, and feel those nerves with you right before you go down on one knee.

During these special occasions, I strongly believe that photography should stay in the background. Earlier in my career, I was part of weddings where photography and videography dictated the timeline, and in the effort to get the perfect shots, the couple forgot to be present. I have also photographed proposals where couples wanted to sit with their emotions, but felt like they had to take photos first.

That is why I offer quietly documenting the moment and meeting another day for an engagement session. With weddings, I approach them in a documentary way, adding gentle direction only if time allows. This way, photography does not take over the moment, but you still have that time frozen forever.
