Getting portraits done with MLP is about so much more than taking pictures. It’s about being taken care of from the very start of the process to the very end; it’s about having the love and personalities of your family celebrated and captured forever; it’s about creating art for your home that you will cherish for the rest of your life.

And the best part of all this? It will be fun and easy. I promise! Because I love what I do. I really really do:)

Ultimately, my two biggest priorities are:

1) To give you an incredible photography experience. {One that will give you warm fuzzies for years to come and that will have you smiling every time you remember how much FUN we had!}

2) To produce exceptionally beautiful art for your home. {Art that will make your heart joyful & happy every. time. you. see. it.}

And if the experience isn’t amazing or your finished product isn’t just right? Well, we’ll do it again until you are 100% happy.

That’s my commitment to you.

I take a very limited number of portrait bookings every month and a limited number of weddings per year because I want to be fully invested in your pictures, your family, your experience. I want that collection of canvases on the wall to bring joy to your heart every time you walk by. I want that album to bring a smile to you face every time you snuggle up with your children to show it to them. I want your daughter to grow up giggling at her wrinkly newborn face and I want your son to know just how much his toddler grin lit up a room. I want you to have that photo from your wedding day that takes you right back to that exact moment of joy and love. I want your grandchildren to whisper “ohhhhh grandma was beautiful…!” as they look through pictures of you laughing and kissing their mommy or daddy when they were little.

It doesn’t matter if your baby or child is cranky or tired or particularly mischievous that day (we’ll get great photos anyway). It doesn't matter if your fiance would rather have a root canal than take engagement or wedding photos (by the time we're done we'll have great photos AND have a ton of fun). It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what to wear (I’ll help you figure it out). It doesn’t matter if you’ve never had professional photos taken (that’s why I care about making the process easy & stress free). It doesn't matter if you feel totally overwhelmed right now.

That's why I'm here.

Because in the end this whole process is about so much more than a simple click of the shutter. It’s about your life. Your memories. Your love. It's a chance to capture this moment—this moment right now, this moment at this time when your kids are doing that particularly darling/funny/ridiculous thing that they will never do again. That moment when you and your dad stand alone together just before he walks you down the aisle. That moment when you look at the amazing man standing beside you and you realize that you get to call him "husband" forever and ever. That moment when you lean over to whisper kisses on the cheek of your brand new baby, so exhausted, so very in love. It’s about that. Having that moment forever.

And having a fabulous time and some wine (or coffee) while we’re at it? Well, that’s just icing on this super yummy cake, isn’t it? :)

I can’t wait to get started on your memories.
