photography is the pause button of life

You know the feeling when you see an old photograph of yourself and you suddenly remember that moment, the way you felt, the smell, how things sounded as the shutter clicked when that photo was taken and for just a split-second, you got to travel in time to relive a moment that had escaped your memory?  That’s how I want your photos to feel - immediately nostalgic. A way for you to time travel to your favorite parts of your life’s story, the simple, the grand + everything in between.  My approach is simple, be yourself, do what you love, think of me as a friend + we will create fine art from your life’s authentic moments.

the process

Fill out my contact form so I can learn more about you + your vision + if you need ideas, I have those too :)

2. we chat about the details 

I really enjoy getting to know you throughout the process of learning about what you’re dreaming of, vibe + overall goal of our time together, if you have time + want to connect via a call to chat about everything, I would love to! If email is better for you, that works perfect too.

The vibes are right, we found the package for you, you're ready to lock in your date + check off “photographer” from your list - I'll send over a short + simple contract to make things official and your 50% retainer secures your date on the books - woohoo!

All galleries are delivered within 90 days, sooner when possible + expedited editing is available as an add-on option. Part of my editing process does include removing minor distractions like blemishes, scratches or something that isn’t permanently there. I will not alter your bodies or artificially add anything to the photo that wasn’t truly there and cannot guarantee distraction removal, it is on a case by case basis.  

I want to deliver honest work in every gallery so your photos are timeless and true-to-you.
