The Portraiture Gold Standard for North Central West Virginia

Your family portraits will tell your story to generations yet to come...

Document your family legacy in each stage with warm, emotional, classical portraiture from an experienced professional who is as invested in your portraits as you are!

Most people who don't model professionally

tend to feel a little awkward in front of the camera. That's completely normal-- and helping you to relax and feel at ease is part of my job as your photographer. Most people also have no idea how to pose together, or what on earth they're supposed to do with their hands-- and that's normal and expected too!

My clients trust me with their pictures because I don't leave it up to them to figure out what they're supposed to be doing. I direct the entire photo process from start to finish, to capture the perfect results. Some images will be carefully posed... I'll find the perfect spot for each shot; I'll tell you exactly how to stand (and what to do with your hands!) I'll back up and look you over closely to make sure every detail is perfect, and then we'll create a beautiful portrait together.

Some images will be prompted instead of posed, to create a more candid image, capturing emotional connection-- but still one that is directed for you by an experienced eye-- so you can know the results will be beautiful!

Husbands and dads report that they enjoy working with me because I'm knowledgeable, efficient, and I make the process of capturing gorgeous family portraits easy and painless.
