hey there, i'm claire
distinctly human photographer
I'm a lot of things: an easy-laugher, a wife and mom, a coffee-drinker, a radio lover, frequent dancer, and romanticizer of life.
When I plan sessions, I dream about what I'll shoot, and when I'm editing photos, I forget to eat. I have a cat, a kid, a husband, and too many books checked out from the library. Someone told me once to "take my foot off the gas" and it's given me plenty of fuel for the journey. I grew up in Oklahoma and got to Texas as fast as I could. Now let's go take some pictures.
wanna know if we're a good match?
Picking a photographer can feel like trying to find a soulmate--you're looking for someone who sees your life like you do, and then takes that one little step further to record the details that will be hard to remember in a year's time. Finding someone who knows when to step in and steer the ship to bring out your best selves, and someone who can just as quickly step into the background to let the moments that make your life so special shine all on their own. You should click with your photographer. It should feel as natural as getting coffee with a friend--just maybe a little easier to schedule.
In today's world, it also feels important to say out loud: this is a space welcoming of and grateful for: queer couples and families, blended families, persons with disabilities, and, of course, YOU.
what's it like working with you?
LIVELY + joyful + distinctly human
You can expect a few things from me during our sessions:
- easy direction | I mix the candid with the classic by giving poses and prompts that bring out natural smiles and laughs
- lots of laughter | I aim to make my sessions just as fun as a day at the park, date night, or lazy Saturday morning might be.
- ground rules | set up front, so that you feel comfortable and confident in what you're doing in front of the camera
- comfort in chaos | little ones with big feelings, random rainstorms, peacocks, and finding new locations on the spot--I've seen it all!
