Relationship
Comfort
Trust
Portfolios matter... they do; however, they do not take priority over you - the person in front of the camera. I believe in a great balance between the clients' vision, photographer's creative freedom, and gentle guidance (if/when needed). Is a beautiful moment already happening? Great, I'll quietly capture it! Are you needing some help getting comfortable? Great, I'll prompt you some! I'm all about a relational style of shooting that builds comfort that leads to trust, and this balance helps me achieve that.
