Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Your Style?
My style is laid back and hands off. Typically, people put me in the ‘documentary’ realm, but I feel like I go a bit further. In most cases, I’m as hands off as possible throughout your day – allowing space for real moments to develop naturally. However, I will provide elegant guidance only as anticipated and needed.
In addition, I love analog mediums (35mm & medium format film) and incorporate film into every collection. This classic medium enhances the natural laid-back approach that I have, creating a true to life, timeless feel.
