Photographing portraits is always a treat for me.  Whether it’s an engagement session, a family portrait, or a styled shoot of 15, portraits allow me a little more time and control over the finished product.  I love that I get to choose the time of day and location for the shoot, and I especially love that my subjects aren’t distracted by ceremonies and toasts, and are fully focused on making great images with me.

Here are my favorite portraits from 2010…

    Beautiful photos. Looks so vintage and timeless. My favorite is the wide angle shot of all the girls.

  • I have become a fan here and come more regular now.
    The 2nd group portrait is so amazing! As also being a wedding/portrait photographer, I know how hard or say how much effect you put in for this particular image! Well done!


Oh how I love the little things! As if shooting people in love isn’t enough, I also get to see and photograph some of the most beautiful shoes, dresses, hairpieces, flowers and tablescapes around. I always set aside some time to photograph these little, often-missed details because I know how much time and thought my clients put in to choosing them.

Although I love to shoot portraits on the wedding day, I consider myself more of a hands-off photographer.  I am most in my element when standing back, observing quietly and capturing those little, unexpected moments that occur at weddings.
