Yes!! I mainly use prompts to get you moving throughout the session, instead of poses. I get at least one "classic family portrait" but otherwise my sessions are about having fun! I will always provide guidance to keep things moving and you'll never be left wondering what to do.
01. We are super awkward! Can you help us?
I'm based in Canaan, NH and travel up to 50 miles one way without a travel fee. I primarily cover the Dartmouth/Lake Sunapee, White Mountain + Upper Valley areas.
For elopements, I'll go wherever you need me and there is no additional charge if it is within New England!
02. Where are you based and do you travel?
Yes - if formal images with your family/guests is something that is important to you, we will absolutely get those! Other than those formal photos, my main focus throughout the day is capturing candid, natural images and I do not work off of a shot list.
03. Do you do formal family photos at weddings?
Yes - if formal images with your family/guests is something that is important to you, we will absolutely get those! Other than those formal photos, my main focus throughout the day is capturing candid, natural images and I do not work off of a shot list.
04. do you shoot big weddings?
In-home sessions DO NOT need to include your entire home! Please don’t feel like you need to make every room picture perfect (trust me, no ones is!!) I usually suggest picking a few spaces you are wanting photos in (I highly recommend picking spaces with good natural light!) Photos can also be done outside your home instead (in your garden, with your farm animals, in a field etc.)
05. My home isn't cute enough to do an in-home session!
