WHAT YOU'LL EXPERIENCE
QUICK SNEAK PEEKS
Galleries take a while to finalize - we wouldn't want to rush perfection! But I know you're eager to share photos from our time together, so I make sure to deliver a handful of sneak peeks within 24 hours of your session's end.
ENTHUSIASTIC ENERGY
I'm almost just as excited for your big day as you are, and I'm not afraid to show it!! I'm all-smiles and optimism which is naturally contagious. I'll help ease your worries and stress to make sure the day goes off perfectly!
TIMELESS, TASTEFUL EDITING
Trends are always coming and going, so I love editing your photos in a creative yet timeless way! With true toned colors and a touch of warmth, you'll be able to treasure these images both now and forever.

WEDDINGS
This is one of the biggest days of your life and it deserves to be documented beautifully and celebrated big!
I love capturing big, classic moments like your first kiss, vows, bridal portraits, and sparkler exits, but I also give specific attention to documenting the smaller, unseen moments specific to your wedding day to make sure you remember every little detail. Whatever this day looks like for you, I'm thrilled at the idea of documenting it for you!

PORTRAITS
I started photography by taking photos of my friends on my grandma's camera, and I don't think I've wandered too far from that (except I got my own camera and learned how to edit.)
Our session should feel like we're best friends wandering around the city and I'm taking your latest Instagram photos! Let's drink coffee together, enjoy the beautiful places we come across, and laugh a ton together while I snap photos the whole time.

FAMILIES + MATERNITY
One of the most foundational pieces of every person is where they come from - their family.
This treasure deserves to be documented no matter what stage you're in! Whether you're an expecting mama excited to meet your baby or a couple who's been together for a decade with a handful of wild kiddos to prove it, let's document the magic that you've built! No occasion needed (though they're certainly fun to celebrate) - just round everyone up, meet me at your favorite spot, and let's take photos you'll look back on with teary smiles forever!
