I don’t think so.

I have around 150 followers right now.

And I show up to every session with my whole heart.

I spend hours planning, editing, choosing the best light, the best words, the best mood.

I care deeply about the people I photograph — their stories, their energy, their connection.

I’m not here for the numbers.

I’m here because I love this work.

Yes, a big following might mean someone is good at marketing, or has been doing this a long time, or had a few viral moments. But it doesn’t automatically mean they’ll give you a better experience.

Some of the most talented, thoughtful, deeply committed photographers I know are still building their audience. Quietly. Honestly. From the ground up.

So if you’re looking for someone to take your photos — maybe look past the follower count. Look at the work.

How it makes you feel.

And if it feels like it sees you — then you’ve found the right person.

Ready for a photo session that’s built on care, not clout?

Let’s talk.
