My philosophy

 

a way of noticing

 

Awkward and shy in front of the camera? Not sure what to do with your hands?


Worry less. I'm here to give you the gentle guidance into the perfectly framed candid. My approach is relaxed, unhurried and natural. I'd rather you forget I'm there entirely.

Testimonials

"Helen, where do I begin! You are truly gifted with an eye to catch all those precious moments. This was my family’s first photoshoot and we had an ABSOLUTE ball!! Your passion shines when you’re standing behind the camera. Your determination and enthusiasm to capture those raw moments full of love is admirable and contagious! My family and I had so much fun and felt so comfortable to be ourselves and just embrace the moment. I can’t thank you enough for rolling with the chaos of a toddler, dog and husband and turning it into something so beautiful. Thank you Helen, I cannot wait to have you capture the next special chapter in our lives."

"Helen, I am so grateful and blessed to have someone as talented, down to Earth, calm energy and just good vibes as you by my side on my special day. Not only did you beautifully capture all the little candid moments, but you did it with so much care, intention, attention to detail and creativity! Everytime I look back at these photos, I get to relive the energy, laughter, and love of that day and it makes my heart so full! I'm speechless at your ability to tell our story by creating these beautiful photos, and just knowing exactly what would matter to us without me even telling you. Always and forever recommending you to everyone and anyone that is looking for someone they can truly trust to preserve their memories."
