Weddings
As your wedding photographer, I'm more than just behind the camera - I'm your timeline helper, hype girl, advocate, and calm presence when the nerves hit. I'll make sure your day feels easy and authentic with timeless photos to match. Your wedding day should be about the two of you and what makes your love story one of a kind. I'm here to capture it.
Families
As a momma I know how fleeting these moments are in life. One minute your snuggling little babies and the next your helping them pick their college dorm room accessories. Let's capture where they are at now.
Maternity + Newborn
You are looking beautiful momma, I already know. What a precious season you are in! Let's celebrate the growing life in your belly, the newborn snuggles and even the one year birthday celebration! Packages can be purchased separately or as a bundle to preserve that first year of baby's life.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
Yay, I'm glad you're here! When booking your session you will receive my 'session prep guide' as well as a guide specific to the type of session you booked! These helpful resources answer a lot of questions but in case they don't, I'm just a text or phone call away!
Are the travel expenses included in your packages?
I've got my suitcase & passport ready! Travel is not included in my standard package but can be added on. Some locations will have the session fee waived for the cost of travel. Reach out to see if your destination is on my bucket list!
How long does it take to get our photos?
I only take a few weddings a year to maintain a balance. This allows me to get galleries back in a timely manner. Weddings have a turn around time of 6 weeks and all other sessions are 3 weeks.
Can you recommend any good locations?
Of course!! When you book you will receive my 'session prep guide' which has a list of common locations I recommend. If something doesn't resonate with you let me know and we will work together to find a location that will make your session perfect to you!
