“We trust you.”

“Honestly, we don’t care. We trust your creative process & vision.”

“You can take us wherever you want. We don’t mind driving or hiking.”

“We are down for whatever.”

“All that matters to us is having our memories documented.”

“We just want to spend time together.”

Those are literally the most beautiful, fulfilling, & exciting words for a photographer (or any creative) to hear.

When you say that you trust us, that gives us permission to do more. There are no boundaries or strings attached. We get to help set the stage, the atmosphere for your experience - and that brings us an immense amount of joy.

The other day, I booked a session with a photographer and I told her that I wanted her to take us to a location that would inspire her & to try some new things because I knew (just like it does with me) that she would create her best work in that space.

It can be difficult to relinquish your ideas, plans, standards, & expectations when you are investing your resources (time, energy, & money) in this experience. Or when you are giving up your comfort or security to be in front of a camera. Or when you’ve scrolled through Pinterest/social platforms for inspiration. Or if you’ve had a bad photography experience before. Or maybe even a really good one with a different photographer.

Your trust gives way for your photographer to truly connect with you, to learn, to grow, to thrive, & to make something they are truly proud of.
