PORTRAITS
Soulful + Cinematic ENGAGEMENT & PORTRAIT Photography
From engagement photos to family portraits to headshots & more! I love capturing people on all sorts of occasions and it’s just so fun to capture these more laid back sessions.
Before we meet, we’ll plan out the perfect time & location(s), with GPS info and day-of location sharing included. When we meet for our session, I'll guide you on our little adventure through beautiful scenery as we fluidly move through cute poses & fun prompts! Maybe you'll even forget all about the camera :)
If that sounds good, check out my pricing below for further details. Excited to chat with you! :)

A few select faves from Rachel & Nick’s @downtownslo engagement session — thank you @makayla_grogan_photographer for helping out as well! ☺️📸✨
“She said yes” energy is amazing, right up there with “just married” energy, which reigns supreme by a small margin. The most immaculate of immaculate vibes. 😍✨
