Intro:
“Natural, candid photos that feel like you. My engagement and couples sessions are relaxed and unposed—think a slow walk, golden-hour light, and a few gentle prompts to help you forget the camera. We’ll pick a location you love (garden, coast, city laneway or country property) and I’ll guide timing, outfits and the best photo spots.”
