I'm so excited you're considering me to document your face :P
To help you along the process, I've put together this guide to hopeFully answer all your questions And to get a feel for how I approach portrait photography.
Hey There
A LITTLE ABOUT ME & MY PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE.
As a documentary photographer, my approach to capturing moments is rooted in authenticity and storytelling. I’m drawn to the real, unscripted emotions and interactions that happen naturally. Rather than focusing solely on posed scenes, I prioritize observing and preserving moments as they genuinely unfold, allowing people to feel comfortable being themselves.
However, my style does still incorporate moments of gentle posing where it feels natural and enhances the story, helping bring out the best in my clients without interrupting the flow. The result is a blend of candid, heartfelt images and thoughtfully composed portraits that reflect real connection, unfiltered emotion, and the true spirit of the day.

HEY THERE- I'M NAOMI
HI! I'm Naomi and I'm a queer, autistic photographer. I make the point to mention that foremost because it plays a huge role in what my business looks like. I don't believe in leaving our humanity at the door when we step into the world of business. I believe in coming as I am and I invite you to do the same if you feel safe and comfortable to do so.
From a young age, I have been infatuated with the world of creativity. Be it arts and crafts at the dining table, counting down the days till "art day" at school, picking up my parents' point and shoot Kodak film camera and forcing my dog to pose from me, or obsessing over my Instagram feed- I have always been drawn to the idea of creating something of my own.
After dropping out of college with no real ambitions, I began to pursue my passion for photography and several years later, here we are.
I am continually inspired by people and their stories and the things that their photos say back to them.
