JOIN ME ON AN ELOPEMENT SESSION:

MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER:

Picture
Hi!! I'm Kieran!! I'm not just here to click the camera button and take a photo. I'm here to celebrate the greatest moments in your life with you (Wedding, engagement, etc) as well as make simple moments life changing ones (if you've ever done a boudoir session with me then you know exactly what I'm talking about!) Photography is more than just snapping the pic, it's about creating a comfortable and naturally fun moment that creates the images you see. "Candid" images are rarely candid. Regular people don't just go into a field and dancing around giggling infectiously. That's where I come in- to create that energy and fun time so you DO start wanting to dance in the field and laugh at each other (and probably me because I'm kind of a dork lol).

I have been doing photography since i was in high school and fall more in love with the art every day. Outside of photography, I really enjoy nature walks, camping, snowboarding, and reading. I'm also extremely OBSESSED with my cat named Beef and my new rescue dog Baus- and if you come to the studio for a session, you'll be able to meet them too! Other addictions of mine are coffee and traveling- I've been to 30 countries and lived in Thailand for 7 months prior to the pandemic.

My style of photography leans dark, moody, rich with color and romantic I use a combination method of prompting emotions and moments to capture a more candid style of images as well as a few of the good smiling images that Grandma wants! I have a gift with guiding people who "hate photos" and creating art as well as an amazing time!

I have a knack for making my clients good friends in less than an hour! Long gone are the days of awkward studio shoots at Walmart and now are times of lifestyle photography that show off your most authentic and beautiful self! I will guide the session in a way that feels natural and comfortable for everyone. I am here to create experiences and memories that last a lifetime as well as photos you will treasure for many lifetimes to come! Together, whether we are shooting your engagement session or an empowering boudoir session, we will make something incredible and show you off in a new light! 

AND THE REST OF THE PHOTOGRAPHY TEAM:

This is Beef, he is our Studio Manager. He is a Taurus, enjoys laying in the sun and getting butt scratches. He has been apart of the team for over 10 years and was promoted to Studio Manager in June 2021.

His main objective in life is to make sure everyone feels welcome, comfortable and loved. He is very empathetic and excellent at sensing client's comfort levels and strives to give clients a wonderful experience by providing cuddles, head butts and many meows.

This is Opal, she is our Bathroom Attendant. She is a cancer, enjoys chasing red dots and cuddling everyone she meets. She is under a year old so she is still in training.

Opal is very friendly and makes sure to greet everyone who comes in. She is firm believer in the buddy system and particularly likes to follow clients to make sure they're getting the attention they need. If you don't crave as much attention from Beef or Opal, they are happy to work on paperwork during the session, feel free to mention it and they can be excused. 
**for legal reasons this is a joke and I have no real taxable employees LOL**
