If you've ever said "I'm not good at having my picture taken," you have that in common with many of the people whose pictures you're seeing on this page.
With empathy, patience, and good humor, I'll help you feel comfortable in front of the camera and capture pictures that bring out your best self.
Let’s plan your dream photo session.

"My shoot with Ponders was an incredibly comfortable, professional, and vibrant experience. I adore both the editorial photos we planned for my author website, and the couples portraits taken of me and my husband. Ponders has a real gift for visual world-building."

“I had a fantastic experience working with Ponders to capture some artistic headshots and studio shots for my art portfolio. I truly appreciated their attention to detail and artistry in all steps of the photography process; you can tell they have a passion for telling a story through their work. During the shoot they were extremely kind, professional and fun-loving. I’m convinced they would make any model, experienced or not, feel comfortable in front of their camera. I can’t recommend enough!”

"Ponders has such a warm and friendly approach to taking photos that instantly made us feel comfortable! My husband and I usually feel awkward when we have our photos taken, but Ponders came ready with types of poses, clear directions, and lots of encouragement that made us enjoy the process more. Their photography and editing skills made us both look good as an interracial couple with different skin tones, which we appreciate so much."
