The Secret Language of My Portraits

When you look at one of my portraits, you might first see the person — their smile, the way the light hits their hair, the setting. But if you look a little closer, you’ll start to notice something else.

A certain bird in the background. A flower that shouldn’t be blooming in that season. A tiny object tucked into the scene.

These aren’t just there to look pretty — they’re part of the story.

Every detail means something

As a storytelling portrait photographer, I design each session around all the little things that make you you.

• Maybe you grew up with a grandmother who always served tea in a specific porcelain cup.
• Maybe your child loves magpies and spots them wherever you go.
• Maybe the watch your dad wore every day is now in your jewelry box.

These details might not mean much to someone else, but to you, they’re a connection to your life and your memories. I love weaving them into your portrait so that every time you see your custom portrait, you’re reminded of that story.
