I believe that natural interactions and the way people truly are produce the best photos. My approach is to be as unobtrusive as possible, while also being a friend and a calming presence during every photo shoot. The longer a session goes, the more I see people open up and allow themselves to be authentic.

I often notice that people overthink it, but my goal is to capture how they naturally interact and connect. I don’t particularly love a lot of stiff posing, as it can make photos feel less genuine. Instead, I like to give simple prompts, such as dancing together, playing with your kids, whispering something in each other’s ear, or walking and talking together.

Of course, there are times when clear posing is needed, and I will guide those moments—but my favorite (and most common) approach is capturing natural candid's.
