Rich & timeless West virginia portraiture
Life flies by and memories fade.
I capture artful portraiture
so you can hold on to these precious moments for a lifetime.
A lot of planning goes into the perfect portrait session-- and when you place your portraits in my hands, you have a devoted, experienced professional in your corner to make your portrait experience a breeze from start to finish.
You can rely on my expert advice and session management to handle all the stressful details of your portrait session, so that you can just show up and relax. Because it's so important to me that my clients arrive feeling pampered and at their best, I offer complimentary makeup and hair styling for mom and daughters, for sessions taking place in studio or local to Morgantown! Simply select this option on your booking inquiry.
I can't wait to hear all about what you're hoping for from your session, so that I can make it happen. Not sure what your ideal session looks like? I can help with that too!
