my approach

I photograph moments the way I want to remember them. The real ones. The small ones. The ones you don’t realize matter until later. Using a documentary-style approach, I focus on connection and emotion so you can look back and remember exactly how it felt.

FAQ

 

How do I book a session?

Start by filling out the inquiry form on my website with a few details about what you’re looking for. I’ll be in touch to confirm availability, answer any questions, and walk you through next steps. Once we finalize the details and your session is officially booked, I’ll help with planning and location guidance so everything feels easy and stress-free.

How long will it take to get my photos?

You’ll receive a sneak peek within a few days, with your full gallery delivered within 2–4 weeks. Wedding galleries are delivered within 8–10 weeks. I always aim for a thoughtful turnaround without compromising quality.

Do you deliver RAW or unedited photos?

I do not and will not ever deliver RAW or unedited images. The editing process is a big part of my work and helps bring the final images together in a cohesive, story-driven way. Every photo you receive is thoughtfully edited to reflect my style and the way the moment felt.

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

Completely. More clients that you'd expect feel this way. My approach is relaxed and guided, with simple prompts rather than stiff poses. The goal is for you to feel comfortable and present, not overly posed.

What should we wear for our session?

I recommend outfits that feel comfortable and true to you. Neutral tones, soft colors, and simple textures photograph beautifully and help keep the focus on connection rather than clothing. I’m always happy to help with outfit planning or offer guidance if you’re unsure.

Do you travel for weddings or elopements?

Yes, absolutely. I love to travel and I love documenting meaningful days in new places. I'm available for destination weddings and elopements, so long as my schedule allows it. Travel fees vary depending on location, and I’m always happy to talk through the details.

Do you help with the wedding timeline?

Yes. With a background in corporate event management, I understand how much thought goes into the flow of a wedding day. I’m happy to help curate a timeline that feels natural and unhurried while leaving room for real moments to unfold. My focus is always on creating space for meaningful moments and good light, so your day feels smooth and easy rather than rushed.

What kind of coverage or session length do I need?

This is one of the most common questions I get. The right amount of coverage depends on what you want documented and how your day or session is structured. I’m always happy to talk through your plans and help you decide what makes the most sense based on your priorities, pace, and what moments matter most to you.
