Preserving feelings, not just looks.
Photography isn't about perfect poses or appearances. It's about preserving the way you laughed together, the joy in the in-between moments, and the quiet ways love shows up.
Whether we're chasing golden evening light or creating in the studio, I want you to feel comfortable, seen, and celebrated—because the best photographs don't just show how you looked; they remind you how it felt.
Your session experience will look like this:
01. We'll Chat.
Every story is different, which is why I offer a variety of way to capture yours. So no matter what it is you're inquiring about, we'll chat about what you're dreaming of and decide together what is a perfect fit for you. After that we will discuss outfits (if you need help) and locations.
02. The Session.
This is where the magic happens. I'll guide you with a mix of gentle direction and freedom to just be yourself. No stiff posing here! Only real laughter, soft glances, and the little moments that tell your story. My goal is for you to feel relaxed and natural.
03. After The Session.
Within 7-10 days, you'll receive an online gallery filled with all the edited images that bring you right back to the laughter, the love, and the in-between details you never want to forget. These aren't just photos for today, they're memories meant to last for generations.
FAQ
What type of sessions do you offer?
I photograph 1) weddings & elopements 2) events like prom night, graduation, & corporate events 3) couples 4) families 5) maternity & newborn 4) seniors & individuals wanting portraits 5) branding/headshots for individuals & businesses 6) and a variety of studio sessions. Each story is different, so I offer a variety of options, including a full session package (more time and variety) and a mini session package (short and sweet) + more!
Do you help with posing?
Absolutely! I'll guide you with gentle direction so you feel comfortable, but I also leave plenty of space for natural, candid moments. The best photos usually happen then.
We want to include our dog in the photos, is that okay?
Yes, please! Pets are family too, and I love when they're part of the story. If you're bringing your dog, I recommend bringing a leash, treats, and maybe an extra set of hands to help when your pup isn't in the spotlight. Whether it's a quick cameo or a big role, I'll make sure we capture those sweet, wag-filled moments.
How many pictures will we receive in our gallery?
I don't believe in limiting memories you get back in your gallery. Instead we shoot until your time is up or I feel confident we got some good stuff. I deliver every image that meets my standard. Every session is unique, so the number will vary, but you can always expect to receive all the storytelling details that turned out.
Will some of our photos be in b&w?
Yes, when a moment calls for it. While most of your gallery will be in color, there are times when b&w editing brings out the emotion in a way color simply can't. Think of it as a way to highlight timeless, heartfelt moments in your story. You'll always receive a carefully balance mix, but never at the expense of color images. You will have plenty of both.
Do you travel for sessions?
I can. I charge a travel fee of $30 per hour.
How far in advance should I book?
Weddings or events like prom night and graduation should be booked as soon as you know your date because I often book months in advance. For portrait sessions, 4-6 weeks ahead is ideal, though I occasionally have last minute availability.
What should we wear?
I encourage neutrals, soft tones, and pieces you feel good in because confidence is the most photogenic thing you can wear.
When will we receive our photos?
Portrait sessions are typically delivered within 1-2 weeks, and weddings within 6-8 weeks. You'll receive an online gallery where you can view and download your images. From there you can use those images for whatever your heart desires!
What is your editing style?
I believe photos should feel as beautiful years from now as they today. My editing style is soft, warm, and timeless focused on capturing emotion in its truest form. I keep colors true-to-life with a touch of glow. I balance light and shadow so every detail feels natural yet dreamy. Skin tones are creamy and flattering, tones are gentle and elegant, and the overall look is romantic without being too trendy. Every edit is designed to preserve the story of the moment - the joy, the connection, the little details. So when you look back on them one day, you don't just see the photo, you feel it!
For funnies, I love to throw in some images edited in "film" preset. I am actually obsessed with film and I love everything about it, especially because it makes an image look like a memory!
What happens if weather is bad?
We will discuss rescheduling!
