Hey, I’m Keira.

Are you ready to make magical photos together?

 

My entire life, I’ve had a tendency to bend the rules. Pushing the limits with school dress code, doing weird and out of the box things with my projects in art school, and photography is no exception. I refuse to be satisfied with the ordinary, standard methods of photographing weddings. I want to push the limits and create something extraordinary. 

 
 
 
 
 

In my mind, extraordinary isn’t only the amazingly composed, beautifully lit, how the f**k did they do that photos you see on the covers of magazines and trending on social media. Do I absolutely love creating those photos for my clients? A-b-s-o-l-u-t-e-l-y. But, I find the fleeting moments, subtle touches of affection, impromptu embraces, and wild laughter to be just as extraordinary. The moments caught on film that you look at and instantly have the emotions of that moment rush back through your body and you feel exactly how you felt in that moment all over again, like an entire time machine printed and hung on your wall or in your wedding day album.

 

 

 So that’s my philosophy, but who am I and why do I shoot this way? 

I grew up obsessed with creating. In any form I could, I wanted to make art. I was painting and drawing at any moment I could, and then in high school I found my way to film photography. I loved the tactile nature of it, the slow and methodical nature of setting up your shot, finding focus, and capturing the moment. From that moment on, I was hooked. I went on to study fine art photography, exploring conceptual and sometimes crazy ideas. When I shoot, I am constantly looking to push myself as an artist - be that setting up a badass night portrait with funky lighting and smoke bombs or finding just the right framing to show the emotion of my subject to the point that even a complete stranger would look at the image and feel the same emotions.

It’s totally cliche - but hot damn do I feel lucky to call what I do my job. Getting to wake up in the morning and know I’m about to go experience and capture one of the most amazing days of someone’s life alongside them is so mind-blowingly special to me, I’ll never be able to fully express it in words.

 

 

So, you want to know more?

Well, that photo on the right is about the energy you’ll catch me having on the dance floor at your wedding. I love to dance alongside guests as I am shooting. I find it makes everyone so much more comfortable in front of my camera - and it’s guaranteed laughing photos since I have absolutely zero rhythm. But life is all about expression and having fun, right? That’s always been my motto. I love expressing myself in all forms - through my tattoos, bright hair, and creating characters to act out at the renaissance faire. Let’s meet for coffee some time and chat about what makes you, well, you, and how we can work together to capture that on camera.
