When it comes to a life philosophy I'm all about appreciating the journey and not just the destination. That's why providing an unparalleled experience is equally important to me as the quality of the images themselves.
Every session includes a complimentary Cinematic Slideshow Event, followed by a bespoke online shop stocked with the highest quality items to help turn your memories into tangible heirlooms that will last for generations.
"Heirlooms"?Why
It's old photos like these that I find so inspiring. Flipping through my own family heirlooms with my mom, learning everything there is to learn about my grandmother's childhood and my family's history, makes me want to do the same for my kids. There's something about holding a memory in my hands that makes me feel so close to her.

What you decide to do with your images is probably the most important thing to consider when you're planning for a photo session, but more often than not, it's the part we tend to overlook. All that time and money invested deserves a better return than images that just sit idle on a hard drive somewhere. The truth is, you'll never get the same feeling looking at your photos on a screen as you do seeing them on your wall or flipping through the pages of an album. Oh, and it turns out a recent study found that having family photos on your walls actually improves your kids' self-esteem. Who knew?
What it comes down to is that it's not just about creating beautiful art for your family, it's about getting that art into your hands. That's why each collection has a substantial print credit. So you can experience these memories not just virtually, but in a real, tangible way.
Some of my favorites from the shop...
Silver Halide Prints
These beautiful silver halide prints are made using traditional methods by seasoned printmakers. Available in a semi-lustre or matte finish and a variety of sizes, these make wonderful gifts, and are the perfect print to frame for your desk.
Deckled Fine Art Prints
These beautiful fine art prints are made with archival pigment based inks on Hahnemühle Museum Etching, a heavy duty art paper world renowned for its exacting archival qualities and subtle texture. The deckle edges are hand torn with a 1/2" border, making it possible to handle each image without touching the printed area, further preserving the life of your print.
Gallery Canvases
Whether you’re adding to your gallery wall, or showcasing your family memories in your interior design, canvases are a lovely option.
These works of art are hand stretched on a custom built frame and arrive ready to hang. A semi-gloss finish highlights the subtle texture while protecting the surface from scratches & fingerprints.
artisan Albums
These timeless albums are carefully constructed by a team of skilled artisans with the finest materials. The first 10 spreads of panoramic silver halide printed pages are included with the option to add up to 20 more. Choose between an elegant linen, sophisticated leather, or luxurious velvet cover in a shade of your choice, and add your own custom blind debossing, making for an album that will be treasured for generations.
