About Us

Let me start by saying that I am in love with love! If you’re in love, you deserve a photographer who will be able to freeze those emotions in time for you and your family to cherish for generations. You will look back at your photos and remember just how in love you were at that moment, and hopefully grow more in love each time you look at them. Not only do I capture the moments that matter most to you, but I do it in a way that is completely timeless. You could say my style is a combination of traditional and creative photojournalism with a focus on elegant portraiture. My goal is not to give you a bunch of pretty pictures, but to give you laughter, excitement, and a wealth of memories.

I look forward to hearing from you and thank you for visiting my profile! You can reach me by phone at 401-662-7983 or by e-mail at chantal@myway.com. Feel free to take a look around at my portfolio, FAQ’s, and Tips and Advice sections below.

This is our effort to alleviate some of the stress you're already encountering during the final months and weeks before your wedding.

25% non-refundable date retainer due upon signing of the contract.
25% due (8) weeks prior to the event.
50% due (1) week prior to the event.

Other arrangements can be made if needed, but this seems to work well for a majority of our couples.

• Travel up to 100 miles away from the South County area of RI

This radius includes Eastern Massachusetts almost to New Hampshire & into the Cape plus most of Connecticut, but we're certainly not limited from traveling to other locations in New England so long as accommodations are made ahead of time.

The following optional services and upgrades are also available:

These are not assistants. They are professional, artistic, contributing Photographers.
Perfect for larger events (a good rule of thumb is to have at least 1 Photographer to every 150 guests).

In today’s economy, we can’t help but be very conscious about our spending, this is why every package I offer is specially customized with you based on what you find to be most important. If you’re not satisfied with the results of your photos, I will happily re-shoot your portrait session, or refund your money. For pricing or other questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me! 401-662-7983 or chantal@myway.com
