Why You Absolutely, Totally, 100% Need Me to Photograph You
Look, I get it. Everyone has a phone in their pocket that promises “pro-level photos” with the tap of a button. But let’s be real—if your camera roll looks like a litterbox of blurry selfies, awkward double chins, and photos where your eyes are halfway closed, then you need me. Urgently. And Here’s why:
I See Your Good Side (Yes, Even That Side)
You know how your partner insists you don’t have a “bad angle”?
Lies.
Everyone has one.
Luckily, I’m a professional at finding the angle that makes you look like a movie star instead of a mugshot contestant.
I Can Photoshop Out Life’s Little ‘Inconveniences’
Didn’t have time to zhuzh your hair?
Got a zit that popped up five minutes before your shoot?
Don’t worry—I’ve got you.
I’m like a magician with a camera and an eraser tool. Poof. Hair is Zhuzhed. Poof. Pimple be Gone. OR if you are really shy but need that photograph to show the world what you do; I'm good at featuring your work yet having you somewhere in the shot where it says YOU but you don't stand out...too much.

I’m Basically a Therapist With a Lens
Feeling awkward in front of the camera?
Don’t worry—I specialize in awkward.
I’ll pose you, guide you, and distract you with dumb jokes until suddenly, boom—you look amazing and like you were actually having fun, unless, that is, it is a fine Art shoot, in which case I’ll have you looking serene and as if about to utter something amazing on the meaning of life.

Lighting Is My Superpower
Sure, you could stand in front of your bathroom mirror with fluorescent bulbs that make you look like an extra from a zombie film… or you could let me use my sorcery (aka my professional understanding of all things lighting) that makes you glow like Beyoncé on tour.
Your call.

Your Future Self Will Thank You
Imagine 20 years from now, your kids asking why all their childhood photos look like they were members of some truly awful Christian rock band. Don’t do that to them. Don’t do that to you.
Get some wall-worthy family portraits.
Because You Deserve It
When was the last time you had a photo that made you say, “WOAH, that’s me?!” Instead of, “Why is my face doing that weird thing?”
I’ll give you that photo.
Actually, I’ll give you a whole gallery of them. I'll catch you out there doing your thing or posed regally cradling your cat, either way I promise, you will look amazing.
And Most of all
I’m all about including your special little (or big) person or pet or even project in your photoshoot.
Let’s face it, they say so much about you. They do.
Seriously, how do you think I know so much about you?
So stop procrastinating, back away from the selfie stick, and BOOK ME!
Your Instagram, your walls, and your grandchildren - will all thank you.
