Hi and thanks for stopping by! Here's a little bit about myself; when I was nineteen my parents bought me my first digital camera for Christmas and I never looked back. In college I started my own photography company taking pictures of friends and family which officially became Mountain Lass Studios in 2017.  I would defiantly say my style is different from most photographers. To me imperfect is perfect. While most photographers I knew try to get the perfect lighting and setting; I love the raw and real. Give me shadows, lens flares, reflections, sun rays and I am in heaven. Your newborn spits up doing pictures; that’s fine I’ll make it work. Your nine year old decides he's not going to smile during the family session; don’t worry I’ll get him to laugh. You and your fiancé have a big fight right before your engagement photos; I’ll use that to your advantage. Best man has a little too much to drink at the reception; I’ll make sure to get some great shots, so you can embarrass him later. I can handle anything when it comes to photography. I have worked with clients from all around the world and people of all ages. My true passion is my street and editorial work, but I have now found a new love in capturing families and couples happiness and realness.

 

Every Photographer has a bucket list and here is my top 4:
