your
feelings

it's personal

if it's anything

My clients resoundingly share that being photographed by me feels natural - they feel comfortable and safe being themselves - and, that shows in their photographs in a way they haven't experienced before - in a deeply personal way - so much so that they keep returning to me year after year.
This is the thing that comes naturally to me, and it can be that for you.

My approach is
simple ... and powerful,
simple ... and transformational,
to simply hold the space for you to see and be seen as you are
in a way that rings true to you 
and that grows in significance with each passing year


 

I'm honored you found me.
You must be wondering:
What's different around here?

I embrace that you (and I) are whole, dynamic humans with entire lifetimes to experience, evolve, and grow. I celebrate that for those of us who align on the impact an honest photograph can have, there will always be ample opportunity for us to work together; in all ages and stages, in the momentous events and in the everyday magic. 

I believe in an underlying connection where what we want, more than anything else, isn't to just *remember* the moments of our past. What we want is to love and be loved as we are, to fully embody and feel into each moment. Even ironically so, in this guarded and filtered world. 

If you believe this too ... well, my friend, you have landed in the right spot!

PORTRAIT + LIFESTYLE

Return to Main Portfolio

an acoustic guitar, a farmer's market tomato, who you are without a camera present, discovering something of substance--and even magical--in what is ... as it is - these are the things that surface in my mind in portrait work - creating a space where you can feel comfortable being yourself
session offerings: "day in the life", at-home lifestyle, destination, individual, couple, family.

Wedding + Elopement

Return to Main Portfolio

what could be more significant than two humans choosing and committing to ... forever, together? It is a big day, it shouldn't have to be the perfect day
to be worthy of all that it actually is
my approach: stand as witness, remind you what it feels like to be in this moment, honor your story as it is, be an efficient boss-babe during group portraits, and flow with everything else


Editorial + Commercial

a vision, a dream, an idea that comes to life, I welcome collaborations with fellow wedding vendors, creative minds, innovative brands, and personal projects
when you are looking for inspiration, new possibilities, or just an enlivening creative outlet what we can create together is exponentially more interesting that what we create alone

process

just the beginning

meant to last

big plans, big day

making it official

love at first sight!

Your fully edited gallery is delivered within 8-10 weeks of your wedding and is yours to download, post, and share. But ... the part that will stop you in your tracks, take your breath away, and make you wonder *what even* was life before now(!?) ... is your custom-designed heirloom album, a true work of art! 

From your engagement portrait session to every detail of your wedding, I am fully engaged and invested in your experience, so that from start to finish, my team and I can do what we do best. By the time your wedding weekend arrives, you'll be right at home with us as trusted friends.

If the feelings are mutual, making it official is simple with your signed contract and paid retainer. I accept a limited number of weddings each year and do not hold dates prior to a completed contract; up until that point, all discussions of availability are tentative.

As a believer in chance encounters and love at first sight, I also know whether you make the first move or your planner reaches out to me, we each really need to feel we are a great fit to work together. So we'll talk, we'll get to know each other. and if it feels right, I'll customize a quote specific to what is important to you and your celebration.

Couples share how much they value finding their "forever" photographer in me, which is the highest honor I can imagine. Being welcomed back into your lives for years to come, through the big milestones and especially the everyday small moments, is at the heart of my work and my why.
