There is nothing more special than unicorn sessions! The smile on your child's face when they see Drifter, the magical unicorn, is well worth every penny. For every session, we offer our full line of luxury dresses. All you need to do is show up and smile. We have you covered. What is even better is that Drifter will be in a upcoming unicorn movie on Netflix. We cannot wait for his movie star launch!

What An Image Means to a Photographer: Top 3 Reasons

What An Image Means to a Photographer: Top 3 Reasons

An image should speak to YOU the audience. It should delight, or make you sad... perhaps, even make you laugh. An image should reflect an emotion for the viewer. This is what makes a photographer... showing emotion.. love, sadness, joy and in the moment... It's why we do the things we do.Every image I put out there is with my love, my passion, my heart. Every image is hand edited to give you the best in what I can offer and I don't like using any presets or actions. I've been trained in various editing techniques and it would be a sin to waste all this training by running an action. I spend hours among hours weekly learning my camera and bettering myself.My colors are vibrant, soft, dreamy and my posing is very relaxed and casual. I want to capture the true self at heart. I do tone it down a bit for family photos, but still add my flavor to them. Everything else, in terms of the edit... depends on the light, the articles of clothing, props, time of year.
