Earthy or Light & Airy? Why I Offer Both Photography Styles

One thing I get asked often is: “What editing style do you use?” Honestly? The answer is a little bit of both. While I definitely specialize in rich, earthy tones — warm skin, natural greens, moody skies, cozy depth, and storytelling imagery — I also absolutely love creating soft, light & airy galleries too. Because the truth is… every session feels different. I never want to force every session into the exact same box creatively.

That’s one of the reasons I’ve never believed photography should feel overly rigid.

My Signature Style: Earthy & Emotional. If you’ve followed my work for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed my heart naturally leans toward earthy edits.

I love:

Warm neutrals
Deep greens
Creamy skin tones
Authentic emotion
Natural storytelling

There’s just something timeless and grounding about earthy imagery that feels so real to me. It allows emotion to stand front and center without overly bright tones distracting from the connection between people.

It’s the style I’m most known for and where my creativity feels most at home. That said — I also genuinely enjoy editing in a softer, brighter direction when the session calls for it.

Light & airy photography can feel:

Dreamy
Elegant
Soft
Fresh
Delicate
Bright and joyful

Certain locations, outfits, seasons, or lighting situations naturally lend themselves beautifully to that aesthetic. And when it fits the story, I absolutely embrace it. I think photography should reflect you first — not just a preset.

My Goal Is Always Connection First. At the end of the day, editing style matters… but emotion matters more. Whether your gallery leans earthy and moody or soft and airy, my biggest goal is always the same: To create images that feel honest.

I want you to look back at your photos years from now and remember exactly how that moment felt — not just what it looked like.

That’s the magic I’m chasing every single session.

And sometimes that story is earthy. Sometimes it’s airy. Sometimes it’s beautifully somewhere in between.
