My philosophy with photography is to capture you as you are. Yes, I pose you, I call them "grandmas fridge photo" ya know, the perfectly placed family and kids ALL smiling. You will love those and so will your grandma but, the majority of what I do is want to capture you and your loved ones as you are. If the kids are running around in the field, join em. If your dog starts rolling, give them some good belly rubs. I really, really, love what I do and a big part of that is you being you.
