ABOUT ME
(It’s pronounced Bel-lyle!) I consider myself more a documentarian than an artist, though I’m often told otherwise. My photographic style is classic, clean and true color. I'm not one to over-process my images or your faces, but don’t worry, I can and will still touch you up if/when it makes sense!
At my portrait shoots, I try to keep things as laid back and natural as possible. I often let my subjects fall into the positions they’re naturally comfortable in first, then I’ll adjust as needed (and as little ones may or may not allow us).
I have a background in photojournalism and began photographing families for other portrait companies in 2006. Commercial and real estate photography came into play around 2010, when I ventured out working for myself.
Thanks to my communications degree and current and past work experiences (I’ve always had side-gigs!), I also have intermediate to advanced skills in desktop publishing/marketing design. I am experienced in creating print-ready files as well as web-based designs.
Contact me below with your questions and info specific to your portrait or commercial photography needs, or if you have a need for light design work for business or personal use!
AVAILABILITY
I reserve one or two Saturdays most months for weekend scheduling. Those weekend dates will be first come, first served as to which I offer. Weekdays are somewhat flexible with my day job to accommodate commercial and real estate scheduling.
I take a hiatus from Family photography between mid-November through February (think PNW winters), so make sure to schedule those holiday portraits earlier than later!
Spring is usually pretty quiet for me, so it’s a great time to consider taking advantage of all the beautiful florals and flexible availability for portraits!
Have some dates in mind? Shoot me a message!
I hope to see you soon!
