Anywhere can look beautiful



I have found that clients often spend hours racking their brain to find "the perfect" spot to take photos. I would like people to know that ANYWHERE is "the perfect spot" to take photos, even my weather-worn UGLY driveway.

  • This is my daughter playing in her little pool. It is usually the type of photo any parent would take. It's fine, just unremarkable & the back-ground is UGLY. You wouldn't say "YES! Let's take our photos there!"

The "perfect" back-ground, in all honesty, will be significantly out of focus, simply providing color or texture.

  • This photo is significantly better, and you still get the idea that this little girl is playing in her pool. However, it would be a GREAT photo if the pool was closer to the grass so you didn't see the driveway, but it's completely acceptable.
If this were a wedding shoot we could make this area work by putting down a small cloth and having you cuddle somewhat in-front of the plants behind her in this photo. It's amazing what you make from nothing, so no need to stress... it WILL be BEAUTIFUL!!


We can create anything by walking down the block.
