For modern families who want to embrace the imperfect through bright, emotion-filled photos.
Photography
Portrait
Want sweet, intimate moments captured with your loved ones
Value the candids more then the traditional “smile at the camera” portraits
Love natural lighting
Enjoy embracing the tender and imperfect
Want photos that tell a story
You are a perfect fit for HMP if you...
Let’s take family photos up a notch and worry less about smiling at the camera and more about enjoying the genuine connection that you have with the ones you love most. Life goes by too quickly and if I’ve learned anything from being a photographer, it’s that you never know what the future holds. Stop waiting for life to slow down, for your kids to be less chaotic, or for those pre-pregnancy clothes to fit. You are wonderful as you are and you deserve that chance to look back at these photos 10 years from now and bask in how amazing and crazy and wonderful life was in this moment in time.

Portrait Session Planning Guide
I’m not really into editing trends, which is why all your photos are edited in a timeless editing style so that they never go out of style.
Timeless Editing Style
When natural lighting allows, I shoot with one film camera and one digital camera. I love the timeless look of film, the rich colors, the softer focus, and how artistic it can look. I also love digital for those quick candid moments.
Film and Digital photography
From the booking process to the photo delivery, my client experience is easy, seamless, and streamlined.
Streamlined client experience
Some photographers have an "all business" vibe. I'm the photographer who is going to give you a big hug, work efficiently throughout the session, and is flexible when kids need a moment.
Down to Earth Personality
Traditional portraits are nice, and yes I’ll get a few during our session, but I also value candid moments that really capture the relationships of your and your loved ones. I don’t fake or stage these. I look for the real and genuine.
Values Candids as much as Portraits
All the edited photos are delivered in an online gallery where you can download, share with friends and family, and even order prints to show off in your home.
