Clarity, so you can plan with confidence

The Important Things, Beautifully Simplified

My work is rooted in candid storytelling, elevated by an editorial eye. I focus on honest moments as they naturally unfold, while still paying close attention to composition, light, and detail. I’ll offer gentle guidance when needed, but the most meaningful images come from real connection — not forced poses.

01.

What is your photography style?

Yes — but thoughtfully. I guide in a way that feels natural and unforced, then allow space for genuine moments to happen. You’ll never be left wondering what to do, but you’ll also never feel overly posed.

02.

Do you pose us?

Absolutely. Most of my clients say this. My job is to create an environment where you feel comfortable, supported, and present. I’ll take care of the rest.

03.

We’re awkward in front of the camera. Is that okay?

04.

How would you describe your approach on a wedding day?

Calm, observant, and intentional. I’m there as both a steady presence and your photography bestie — keeping things grounded when emotions run high and hyping you up when you need it. I anticipate moments before they happen and work quietly in the background to document them honestly.

Yes. I’m happy to assist with photography-focused timeline guidance to ensure the day flows smoothly and leaves room for real moments to happen without feeling rushed.

05.

Do you help with timelines?

Yes. I’m fully insured and operate as a legitimate, professional business with contracts, systems, and experience in place to protect both you and your memories.

06.

Are you insured and professional?

Each gallery is carefully curated and thoughtfully edited. Rather than focusing on a specific number, I prioritize delivering a complete, cohesive story of your day with images that feel intentional and lasting.

07.

How many images will we receive?

Turnaround times vary depending on the type of session and season, but I always communicate timelines clearly and deliver galleries within the timeframe outlined in your contract.

08.

When will we receive our photos?

Yes. I’m based in Washington and available for travel. Travel details are always discussed in advance and clearly outlined.

09.

Do you travel?

The best place to start is by reaching out through my contact page. From there, we’ll connect, make sure we’re the right fit, and move forward with a signed contract and retainer to secure your date.

10.

How do we book you?

Yes — albums and print products are available as optional add-ons. Pricing varies based on size, materials, and customization, and details can be shared upon request.

11.

Do you offer albums or prints?

Yes — each image is carefully edited for color, tone, and consistency. I take a natural approach to retouching and do not alter body shape or facial features. Temporary distractions may be minimized when appropriate, but the goal is always to preserve what feels real and true to you. Additional retouching requests beyond my standard editing style are available for an additional fee and can be discussed on a case-by-case basis.

12.

Do you retouch images?
