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.

Your final images are delivered via a private online gallery where you can:

Delivery timelines vary by service type and will always be clearly communicated upfront.

These aren’t just photos — they’re keepsakes meant to be revisited, shared, and held onto.
