I've been a professional photographer since 2009. I'm also the mother to two girls under the age of eight. There is no situation that I haven’t encountered before. My experience with newborns, toddlers and kids means that I can work quickly and efficiently while keeping it fun. I believe that photo sessions should be a joyful time for family bonding, not a chore. And I am confident in my ability to make that happen. I promise!

My photo sessions are designed to be easy. My entire workflow has been designed with you and your busy life in mind.

Galleries will be available for viewing within ten (10) business days of your session date.

Any digital downloads that are part of your Session Fee or Collection will be available through your gallery. Galleries stay live for 30 days.

I describe my style of shooting as a mix between classic and lifestyle - I pose my clients for certain shots and then get those in-between, candid lifestyle type shots when you are interacting with your loved ones. I help you with posing whenever needed (where to stand, placement of hands, angle adjustments for your head/shoulders). I will give you direction whenever needed. For babies, my style is to leave a portion of my session for swaddled shots and any shots where you might want to have your baby in a specific outfit. For baby details (eye lashes, fingers, toes, lips), your baby can wear a diaper (with diaper cover).

My editing style is light and airy with skin softening and saturation adjustment applied as needed.

Most of my style and editing approach is based on full-color portraits. Occasionally, I do throw a black-and-white portrait into the mix when an image calls for it.

All clients sign a portrait agreement and while Lily Red Studio retains the copyright to all images, I do respect a client’s request in certain cases to allow them to keep some/all images private - particularly as this relates to boudoir-style maternity sessions or if privacy is necessary due to a client’s type of employment.

I help you with posing whenever needed (where to stand, placement of hands, angle adjustments for your head/shoulders). I will give you directions whenever needed and also provide a style guide to take the guesswork out of dressing/styling yourself for your session.
