Why I Photograph With a Light Hand

I learned a long time ago that directing too much kills the moment. Families stiffen. Kids freeze. Parents get worried about “messing up.” And suddenly the session feels like a performance rather than a memory being made.

So I guide lightly. Gently. I step back and let your family interact naturally. You’d be amazed what unfolds when people feel like they have room to breathe. A hug. A joke. A glance that only the people in the photo understand.

That’s why I describe my approach as presence over posing. Your family already knows how to be a family. I’m just there to witness it.
