Choosing a photographer is a big decision. After all, you might be showing these photographs to your grandkids one day.
That’s why you need someone who is friendly enough to make you feel comfortable, but who also has the experience to deliver the breathtaking photos you’ve always dreamt of. That’s where I come in.

CONNECT
LET’S START WITH A CONVERSATION
It all begins with getting to know you and what you’re planning.
Once you reach out through the contact form, I’ll review your inquiry and respond with availability, next steps, and any initial questions. Depending on the project, we may schedule a short call to talk through details, expectations, and vision.
This step is about alignment — making sure we’re a good fit and that I fully understand what you’re looking for.
PLAN & PREPARE
EVERY DETAIL, CONSIDERED
Once your session or date is booked, we’ll move into planning mode.
Depending on the type of photography, this may include:
Timeline guidance (for weddings, events, or larger shoots)
Location and lighting considerations
Session flow and creative direction
Mood, style, and overall feel
Any specific priorities or must-have shots
You don’t need to have everything figured out — that’s what I’m here for. I’ll guide you through what matters most so you can feel confident and prepared.

THE EXPERIENCE
RELAX. BE PRESENT. I’VE GOT YOU.
On the day of your session or event, my focus is simple:
to create a calm, natural experience while documenting your story as it unfolds.
I work in a documentary-driven way — observing, anticipating moments, and stepping in only when needed. Whether I’m capturing a full wedding day, a fast-paced event, or a quiet lifestyle session, I adapt my approach to the energy of the moment.
Most clients tell me they quickly forget the camera is even there — which is exactly how it should be.
CURATION & EDITING
TURNING MOMENTS INTO TIMELESS IMAGES
After your session or event, I carefully review and curate your images, selecting the strongest moments that best tell your story.
Each image is edited with intention — focusing on:
Natural color and light
True-to-life skin tones
Timeless finishes that won’t feel dated
My editing style is consistent across all services, ensuring your photos feel cohesive, elevated, and emotionally honest.
