About Pretty Portraits & Co.
My mission is to make my clients feel as comfortable as possible so I can capture everyone in their most natural way.
This journey began back in 2018, amidst my high school days. It all began with a photography course that altered my perspective on life. Joining midway through the year, I found myself yearning for the chance to spend the entire year with my newfound friends and incredible teacher.
Our inaugural year in the program was all about grasping the basics of Photoshop and Adobe Creative Suite, utilizing nothing more than the cameras on our phones. No fancy equipment was necessary; just a willingness to learn. As the second year rolled around, we delved into leadership roles, managed a café to support our field trips, and, most thrilling of all, gained access to professional-grade cameras.
Little did I know, this was just the beginning of my photographic escapades. I cherish this profession, relishing the ability to wield my very own professional camera instead of relying on rentals. Through my lens, I've not only captured my own memories but have also crafted moments for others. Here's to forging friendships and creating everlasting memories together!
I am happy to help anyone and would love to capture anyone's dream session, just ask!
Let's capture everyone in their most natural way.
Down to the Nitty Gritty...
I have two main passions in life and they are agriculture and photography. Sometimes I get to capture terrific moments in agriculture! When I am in my element, I just live for every moment I get to capture. I believe the best moments in life are candid. I love having amazing clients that are just down to do whatever! I like taking a moment to be a bit creative and different! The normal poses are not always my favorite. I am the type of photographer to do whatever it takes to get that perfect picture. Whether that be to climb into a fountain or jump up and down to get a baby's attention. I am always down for the nitty gritty of an awesome session!
