Portrait session... As Sally Mann said:"Every image is in some way a “portrait,” not in the way that it would reproduce the traits of a person, but in that it pulls and draws [...], in that it extracts something, an intimacy, a force."

I try really hard to make a portrait session very intimate, extracting really carefully beautiful little things from the soul. To put them outside to show the word and a model how different they can be, how beautiful they are now and what a difference they can make.

The portrait session is more then a capturing an image, its opening something that you didn't know before. It can be as simple as getting to know how beautiful you are and how great and natural you can pose to something like opening your powerful you or tiny and vulnerable.

That will be your story.
