Learn about my process + pricing below
From engagement sessions to family photos, senior portraits and more—I love documenting people in a relaxed, organic way. These sessions are easygoing, collaborative, and designed to bring out your authentic self.
Before we meet, we’ll choose the perfect time + location together, with GPS guidance + live location sharing on your session date. During the shoot, I’ll guide you through simple poses + natural prompts so you can settle into the experience without worrying about what to do with your hands—you might even forget all about the camera.
If that sounds like your vibe, check out my portrait collections below—or submit your inquiry along with a few details and I'll send you a custom quote.

this year taught me how to stay open without losing myself.
to take care of my energy.
to make honest and intentional artwork.
2025 asked for presence, clarity, and trust—in myself and in the process. the work became less about pushing and more about showing up grounded and open to the moment.
i’m deeply grateful for the clients, planners, and fellow creatives who trusted me with meaningful moments and met me with such care. i`m moving forward with clearer boundaries, steadier footing, and a quiet optimism for what’s ahead.
to my 2026 couples—welcome. i’m so excited for the stories still to come. 🤍
and yes, i’m still accepting a limited number of new clients this year.
here’s to warmth, connection, and continuing to create images that feel like home. 🤍
