The Experience

 

 

Photography with me is meant to feel easy and real. From our first messages, to the final gallery, I am here to guide you and make you feel 100% confident every step of the way. This isn't just about taking pretty pictures, it is about documenting your life in a way that feels honest and real.

 

How it works

1. Inquiry & Connection


It all starts with your inquiry. I take time to personally  read through each inquiry, and respond within 48 hours. I love to ask questions to understand your vision and what exactly you're looking for, to ensure we are a good fit! From there, we will lock in your date with a signed contract and retainer.

2. Plan & Prepare


Once you are booked, I will help guide you through the entire planning process - from location, to time, even down to your outfits if need be! I never want you to be unsure about what to do next.

3. The Session


This is the fun part! My style involves a mix of posed photos, while also including many candid style photos as well. I guide you the whole time to ensure nothing feels awkward. I want you to be able to relax and truly enjoy your time in front of the camera.

4. Editing & Delivery


After your session, I hand-select and edit your images to reflect my true color and style. A typical gallery turnaround time is 3-4 weeks (not including weddings). Once your gallery is complete, you will receive your final images in a private online gallery, for you to download and enjoy.

My Approach


This isn't just a job to me. It is something I pour myself into fully. I care deeply about your experience, and believe it starts long before your session, which is why I prioritize communication and preparation. I want each step to feel personal and intentional. giving you full confidence not only in your decision to work with me, but in yourself in front of the camera and in the photos we create together.
