Natural Light Photographer

I consider myself a natural light photographer. What does that mean? It means I use the natural light around me to take wonderful photos. You wont see my hauling in large lights and other equipment into our session. If we are doing an indoor session, you'll see me open the windows and doors to let all the beautiful light from outside in to brighten your photos. 

Why do I love natural light? It allows you to be mobile, work quickly and move around to capture gorgeous photos. I also love the way natural light looks on your face. Its not fake and the photo ends up looking like something that your eye naturally sees. 

Whenever possible, I encourage clients to go outside for photos to get the most natural light available. If a client wants a warm sunset session, then we schedule the session closer to sunset. If they want a bright sunrise glow, we schedule our session at sunrise. I'm very aware of the weather, the time of day, and the sun when we are having sessions. We look at shadows, position of the sun, and work with surroundings to make your photos beautiful and natural.

Of course, sometimes I have to step out of my preferred method of shooting and change courses. For example, wedding receptions I come prepared with flash in hand and ready for the evening reception dancing! 

So on those days you see me looking up at the sun in the middle of your session, I'm calculating and thinking what angle, what shadows and what light will make your photos look the best (I promise I'm not day dreaming!)
