Our working relationship will play a part in your final images. The more relaxed you’ll be during your session, the more authentically beautiful your photos will be!
Because of that, I want to make sure you know what to expect.
While remaining professional, I prioritize authentic connections and casual, fun-focused conversation during portrait sessions and friendly interactions (when appropriate) during event photography.
Playfulli photography is a woman + queer owned business. I am actively supportive of TLGBQ+ individuals and communities. I also believe that Black lives matter and I celebrate BIPOC images and voices. I choose not to work with individuals or organizations that are in adamant opposition to these values.
All body types and sizes are inherently beautiful. While I fully empathize with negative self image, I only do minimal retouching of features that make you who you are. Rolls, wrinkles, dimples, othered-abilities, flat stomachs, jiggly stomachs, surgical scars, triple chins … it’s all part of who you are, which makes it all truly, uniquely beautiful. We will pose and play in ways that will focus on helping you feel (and SEE) that beauty! (Professional retouching is done/offered on temporary characteristics, such as flyaway hairs, outfit wrinkles, some acne, etc)
I do not allow hateful speech nor actions during our time together.
If any of this is an issue for you, I’m not the photographer for you. I’m happy to chat and recommend someone that might be a better fit.
Are you excited by all of this?!
