the experience

From the moment a photo session crosses your mind to the day you display the framed photographs, I’m here to guide the way, making it easy and enjoyable. I assist with everything, including outfit planning, styling, day of laugh encouragement, and more. The best photographs are created when we are in our most relaxed state, letting go and having fun with our favorite people, and with all other aspects being taken care of, you are able to do just that.

The moments that I capture deserve to be displayed and treasured for years to come, so let’s not let them live on your phone! I love working with my clients to help them choose, print, and exhibit their photographs to be enjoyed for years to come.

Fine Art Portraiture

From Planning to Prints, and everything in between.

why film?

There is something about film that speaks to us. Generation after generation, film remains timeless. 

There's a reason why we love our grandparent's wedding photos - film stands the test of time. In twenty years, you won't look back and regret investing in this classic medium. Trends and VSCO filters will come and go, but the photos that we capture together will live beyond Instagram.

CLASSIC. TIMELESS. REFINED.

LET’S CONNECT 

I want to learn all about you! How did you fall in love? What happened to your heart when those babies arrived? What motivates and inspires you?I want you to look at your photos and see you, so let’s get to know each other so the moments I capture can be as authentic and real as possible. We’ll schedule a Facetime call, answer all and any questions, secure a date, and start planning your custom session!

CAPTURE THE MOMENTS

It's time to capture the magic, the mess, and all the love in between. The outfits have been picked and the location set, your job now is to relax and enjoy your session, seriously! And don’t worry, tantrums and tears are OK; kids will be kids (remember, I’m a mama too, I get it!)! The more you are able to relax, have fun, and smile (even if the kids are being rambunctious!), the more you will love your photos, I promise.

Two to three weeks after our session, you’ll receive an online gallery to view your photos. Upon selecting your favorites, they’ll be printed using the true, photographic wet process - paying homage to traditional darkroom printing. Your photographs, are printed on only the finest premium, hand torn paper. I’m happy to help with everything from selecting prints, to navigating the world of framing and displaying.

"This was by far the best experience I have ever had with a photographer. From helping with outfits, location, expectations, the actual photos - you are truly talented and amazing at what you do! I feel like I have known you forever, and I think that is what makes you so good at your craft - you know how to make everyone comfortable and are so personable."

Portraiture sessions begin at $1495

Our goal is to go beyond the basic staged family photos - and I’m happy to pave the way. You're looking for someone who can gently guide you and your crew into natural poses, letting your natural story unfold (from bike riding to beach dunes), without feeling awkward and uncomfortable along the way.
