Hi! I'm Gina!

I'm here for you.  If I have a camera in hand, it's hard for me to NOT photograph you.  People who know me, know that they WILL be photographed if they are in range!  My eyes are always looking for THE moment to freeze it in time.  When it comes to portraits, I will help pose you into flattering positions, but I'm also always looking for the in-between, the natural, the candid, the real, and the authentic so that you look like you. 

​

Having photographed people for 20+ years, I've learned that taking pretty pictures is a small component of a portrait business.  The most important thing for a "people photographer" to know is that the experience is as important as the photos.  Whether you're an actor needing scroll-stopping headshots, a professional needing to be known-trusted-and-liked, a mother wanting to remember the fleeting moments of motherhood, a daughter wanting to remember her mother forever in a storybook album, an animal lover wanting to capture their love for their tragically short-lived pet, a bride or groom looking for someone to really capture their most important day, a person planning a special event that you want remembered, or just a human celebrating being alive, the EXPERIENCE is the most important aspect of photography.  If you didn't love your experience, you will not love your photos because that memory will live in the photos.  This is so important to me!  

People need to feel safe, relaxed, and at ease in front of the camera.  The Catch-22 is that most people feel awkward, uncomfortable, and strange having their photos taken!  It's my job to put them at ease to get photos that really express who THEY are, or who and what they love.

A little mental prep can go a long way towards making this happen!  Please click here to see some tips to help you prep!
