Because time doesn’t slow down — but we can choose to remember. These sessions are about more than beautiful images. They’re about presence, connection, and keeping hold of what matters most. Whether it’s a milestone or a quiet everyday moment, your story deserves to be documented with honesty and care.
Your wedding is more than an event — it’s the beginning of something sacred. I approach each wedding day with quiet attentiveness, documenting the big moments and the in-between ones with equal reverence. From teary-eyed glances to spontaneous laughter and everything that unfolds naturally, my goal is to preserve the essence of your love without interfering with it. These are the images that will become heirlooms — honest, emotive, and timeless.

This is for the couples who want to be seen for who they are — not posed into something that doesn’t feel like them. Whether you’re marking an anniversary, an engagement, or just the joy of being in love, our session will be easygoing and rooted in connection. I’ll guide gently, but never over-stage — because the magic is in your authenticity.

Families are beautifully imperfect and always evolving — and that’s exactly what I aim to capture. No stiff poses or forced smiles here. Just your people, as they are, in whatever season you find yourselves. From tiny hands clutching yours to spontaneous giggles and real, unfiltered moments — these are the chapters you’ll want to look back on.

You’re on the edge of something new — and that deserves to be remembered. My senior sessions are less about stiff yearbook shots and more about capturing who you are in this exact moment: your personality, your style, your quiet confidence. Let’s celebrate this milestone in a way that feels true to you.

Fill out my contact form and share a little about you, what you’re dreaming up, and the moments you want to hold onto. Whether it’s a wedding day or a cozy family session, I can’t wait to hear your story.
I’ll reach out with package options and ideas to bring your vision to life. This is where we’ll make sure we’re the perfect fit and start shaping an experience that feels true to you.
To reserve your date, you’ll sign a contract and pay a non-refundable retainer. Once that’s done, your date is officially yours, and we can start planning all the fun details.
From location ideas to outfit inspiration, I’ll be by your side to help you feel confident and prepared — so on the day of your session, all you need to do is show up and be present.
On photo day, you get to be fully in the moment while I capture it all — the big feelings, the small details, and everything in between. Afterward, you’ll receive a beautiful online gallery filled with hand-edited, high-resolution images ready to download, share, and treasure for years to come. My smaller sessions have a 2-3 week turnaround time. And my weddings have gallery previews within the week of your wedding and the full gallery within 8-15 weeks.
The sooner, the better! Popular dates — especially for weddings and fall family sessions — tend to book up quickly. I typically recommend reaching out 9–12 months in advance for weddings and 2–3 months ahead for portrait sessions.
That said, don’t hesitate to reach out even if your date is coming up soon — there’s always a chance I might have an opening!
Once you’ve decided we’re the perfect fit, reserving your date is simple! A signed contract and a non-refundable retainer are all it takes to make things official.
After that, your date is locked in and we can dive into all the fun planning details — from location ideas to timeline tips — so everything feels easy and stress-free leading up to your session or wedding day.
Absolutely! I know photography is an investment, and I never want that to feel stressful.
To reserve your date, a non-refundable retainer is due at the time of booking. After that, we can set up a custom payment plan to split the remaining balance into smaller, manageable payments leading up to your session or wedding day.
The final payment is due on the day of your session or wedding, making it easy and flexible while keeping everything on track for a smooth, stress-free experience.
The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and confident! Choose outfits that feel like you — nothing too stiff or restrictive. I recommend leaning toward neutral, earthy, or muted tones, as they photograph beautifully and keep the focus on your connection and emotions.
If you need a little extra inspiration, I’ve got you covered! I’ll send you a styling guide with tips and color palettes, and we can even plan outfits together to make sure everything feels cohesive and true to your story.
About one to two months before your wedding, I’ll send you a detailed wedding questionnaire to learn about all the important details — from family dynamics to must-have photos.
Once you’ve filled it out, we’ll set up a meeting (in person or virtually) to go over everything together. From there, I’ll create a custom, typed-up timeline that fits seamlessly with your wedding plans. This ensures there’s plenty of time for every moment you care about most, while still leaving space for you to breathe, be present, and fully enjoy your day.
If there’s rain in the forecast, I always leave room in my schedule to reschedule your session so we can still get the best possible experience.
That said, a light sprinkle can actually be really beautiful — and I’m always up for embracing a little rain if you are! 🌧️ As long as you don’t mind, we can lean into the cozy, moody vibes with umbrellas, jackets, and a spirit of adventure.
A little of both! I have a list of favorite locations I love to recommend — places with beautiful light, stunning backdrops, and a bit of that magical, earthy vibe my work is known for. 🌿
But I also want your session to feel like you, so if you have a special spot in mind — whether it’s a family cabin, a quiet lakeside trail, or your own backyard — I’m always excited to explore new places!
If you’re unsure, don’t worry. I’ll guide you through options based on the look and feel you want, the season, and how adventurous you’re feeling. Together, we’ll find the perfect spot to tell your story.
