My promise to you:

For everyday couples and families that want to...

Feel comfortable in front of the camera


No cookie cutter poses or trends here. I approach every wedding and family session differently, tailoring my approach to what works best for you. I'll guide and pose you in a way that you can build on and be yourselves. Because authentic imagery is created when you feel comfortable.

Have fun while being photographed


Let's skip past the awkward smiles, "say cheese" moments and stiff poses and have fun. Whether it's your wedding day or a family session, I want you to be present and spend an hour connecting while I create and capture beautiful images.

Receive photos that are timeless and true


Edited photos that reflect what you see in real life. I hand select and edit every image ensuring that your final gallery reflects your day. This means classic skin tones, green grass, and the color of your bouquet perfectly edited to reflect real life.


Invest in your memories forever

Frequently Asked Questions

You mention lifestyle photography but what does that mean?

My approach is a mix of lifestyle and documentary-style photography.

Lifestyle involves some prompts, not poses, that will guide you and allow me to capture emotion. Documentary style captures moments exactly as they unfold -- moments I will capture as well. Of course, we'll grab the necessary posed and traditional images, too.

If you're still unsure, ask to see a sample gallery of my work or check out my Instagram.

When will we get our photos?

For weddings, you will receive an online gallery link to your sneak peek within 2 weeks. Full gallery will be ready within 6-8 weeks. For all other sessions, the gallery will be ready within 4 weeks. You can download all photos from the gallery link, share the link with family and friends, post to social media, and order prints and albums.

What's your booking process like?

After receiving your message, I'll make sure I have your date open on my calendar. From there, we'll set up a time to meet whether in-person or by phone. This is a great time to ask any questions you might have and share with me all of your session details. After our chat, I'll send over a brief questionnaire and contract to kick off your project. A deposit is required to secure your date.

How many weddings do you photograph each year?

In order to best serve my clients (and to balance being a mama), I take on a limited amount of weddings per year and often book 6-12 months in advance. I require a consult call before booking to ensure we are a good match.

How many pictures will we receive?

Every image is hand picked by me (not AI!) and your gallery is thoughtfully curated to perfectly tell the story of your day.

For 7 hours of wedding coverage, you will receive between 500 to 700 fully edited images.
For lifestyle, family, newborn sessions and beyond, you'll receive between 40-100 edited images. It usually depends on session length though!

When should we book?

The earlier the better! Dates fill up fast especially for weekends. And if there is a certain date you need your images by i.e. for your holiday card or senior yearbook, you should factor in our 4+ week turnaround.
