PHOTOS THAT

freeze the stolen glances,

the goofy laughter,

and those "i can't believe this is us" expressions

PICTURE THIS.

you want candid, cinematic photos of your boo and you — like those beautiful photos you see on Pinterest — but you're worried about feeling
AWKWARD
in front of the camera

SOUND FAMILIAR?

WELL, YOU'RE IN LUCK.

My clients affectionately call me "the queen of comfort." Now, I'm not saying this to toot my own horn, but to let you know that being in front of my camera is like hanging out in your comfiest PJs. Trust me ... it's a chill zone.

I promise, you'll slip into your natural groove, and we'll capture photos that are so "you," it's like I'm hitting Ctrl+C on the essence of your relationship.

SO WHAT EXACTLY DOES BOOKING A SHOOT WITH ME LOOK LIKE?

01.

INQUIRE

When it comes to our little partnership here, you're the one with the power to make the first move. Just give my inquiry form a whirl — spill the beans, share the deets, the whole shebang. I promise to pop back into your inbox within a couple of business days. Let's get this convo started!

BOOK

When you're all set to lock in your photoshoot with me, I'll send over the contract. No printing or fancy signatures needed — it's all digital and super easy to sign electronically. A 25% deposit makes everything official and locks in your spot with me. Now we're ready to create some photo magic together!

03.

PLANNING

I absolutely love planning couple's sessions with my clients. Whether you've got your dream vision all mapped out or you're floating in the unknown, I've got your back.

 

Whether you're feeling the great outdoors, the coziness of being at home, or the cool vibes of an Airbnb, I'll help you pick that perfect spot with the dreamiest lighting.

We'll work together to choose outfits that scream "you" and match the mood of your shoot.

 

We'll have everything mapped and planned so when shoot day comes, you're gonna walk in feeling like a rockstar!

SHOOT DAY

The day we've been plotting, prepping, and excitedly counting down to has finally arrived! When your shoot day dawns, I'll be your friendly guide, swapping out stiff poses for fun prompts that'll make you feel totally comfy in front of the camera.

And, no need to clock-watch here! There's not a set time limit for the shoot, because the last thing I want for you is any "perfect shot" stress. Instead, we'll usually kick things off about two hours before sunset, and we'll shoot until the sun goes down.

We'll be sure to capture all those must-have shots you've been dreaming about!

05.

PHOTO DELIVERY

The excitement doesn't stop after the shoot! Within 5 days of your shoot, I'll send over a sneak peek of around 10-15 images.

And the good stuff just keeps on coming. In 4-6 weeks, you'll receive 100-150 edited, high-resolution images in an online gallery. From there, you can download all of the image files for personal use (meaning you can post and print them as you please). Get ready to sprinkle those pics like confetti!

MY SHOOTING STYLE

So, when I say my style is all about candid, free-spirited, and cinematic vibes, you might be wondering: "How's that gonna play out during our shoot?"

Well, here's how things will go... When we meet up for the shoot, I won't just jump straight into snapping pics. First, we'll chat for a bit and break the ice.

Then comes the real magic. I'm all about those prompts — little cues to get you moving and grooving naturally. Think of it like a playful date with your other half. This isn't just about getting "the shot," but about laughing, sharing stories, and having a genuinely good time.

While you're lost in the moment, I'll be like your friendly photo ninja, sneaking around to snap shots from different angles.

I want the shoot to be a reminder of those giggles and sparks that got you falling head over heels in the first place. I want it to be a memorable experience for you where the end result just happens to be some amazing photos.

MY EDITING STYLE

My editing style is kinda like Goldilocks and the three bears — not too light and airy, not too dark and moody, but right smack in the middle. Picture earthy vibes, natural feels, and true-to-life tones.

I want you to flip through your photos and see YOU, not some strange version with odd skin colors. Your skin? It's gonna look like YOUR skin — just as it does in real life.

 

Of course, if there's a cool play of light and shadows, your skin might dance between tones a bit. But at the end of the day, my aim is simple: you in the photos should be the you you see in the mirror.

Some photographers just slap on a one-size-fits-all filter and call it done. Sure, you get a handful of pics that match their portfolio, but the rest? Well, they might not hit that mark you were expecting.

But me? I do things a bit differently. Every single photo gets my personal touch. Sure, it takes a bit more time, but it's worth it. I want your photos to match the vibe you fell in love with in my work.

MY SHOOTING STYLE

all are welcome here.

In case it's not totally clear from the pics on my site,

I'm all about celebrating love in all its forms.

 

No matter who you are, what you look like, or who makes your heart skip a beat, you're more than welcome in front of my lens.
