The wedding industry has it wrong.
The industry has made it about who does it best, how much money can I make and the couple is often forgotten. I think vendors have lost their sight on what it is really about. Telling the story of the couple and helping them celebrate a huge milestone in their lives is what it is about, and what I am about.
What you can expect from your experience with me:
You can expect that I will be open and honest with you throughout the process. From booking, planning and delivering process I am there through it all. It is important to me that my clients feel heard and seen. You can expect to receive your gallery from your wedding day and feel the images like you are right back there on your day.
You can count on me to become a friend who cares for the two of you. That is what makes working with me different. Because I get to know you on a deeper level that is able to be shown in your galleries.
Weddings:
All of my wedding collections are customizable. You can customize the collection to suit the vision you have for your wedding day.
My promise is to be more than just your photographer. You can count on me crying with you in those first look moments, putting lotion on your legs after you get in your wedding dress, and yes I will fix your boobs in your dress as well if you need me to. Your wants and needs are important to me.
Wedding coverage collections start at $2800.
Elopements:
My promise is to be your constant support when planning an elopement. More often than not there is some pushback on families and friends about eloping. But I want to say that you can count on me to be your confidant to run ideas through, plan your day, and even figure out what kind of attire you are envisioning.
Elopement collections start at $2150.
Engagement Sessions:
Your engagement is a blink-and-you’ll-miss it time in your life unlike any other, and in the flurry of wedding planning, it can be hard to stop and smell the roses. So, consider this a fun date with your fiance...with the added plus of some photos to go with it! Engagement sessions are a great trial to learn how I direct and speak. But the fun thing about the engagement session is being able to customize it. Do you have a favorite coffee spot, or local drinking hole that you had your first date that you want part of your engagement session to be at? Is there a favorite activity that you two like doing together? Hiking, fishing, board games riding bikes, etc.
Engagement sessions are $600.
Wedding Add on options:
Second photographer, rehearsal dinner coverage, bridal session, and albums!

Family Sessions:
This isn’t your traditional family session and family photographer. I think back to my family photos from when I was younger and it felt as though we sat for hours and just stared at the camera waiting for everyone to “look good,” at the exact same time. My family + newborn sessions are centered around documenting your family naturally. You have children that can’t sit still? GREAT! Let’s have a dance part or play tag. This means I am letting the kids run amok (as a mom, I know this sounds crazy, but trust me) and letting you all be in the moments with one another. That way I can capture those in between moments.
Family sessions are $400.
Your memories are worthy of the investment.
With my 4+ years of experience. Clear and direct communicated is a what you can expect from me. From the moment you click submit on your inquiry form I will be your helper as you begin this journey and connect with you on a personal level that reflects your story.

Frequently Asked Questions
+ Q: What is your style of photography?
A: My attention is focused on authentic interaction and storytelling moments, rather than worrying about staging perfect scenes. However, during portraits, I am not afraid to take charge to deliver the perfect photo (I’m looking at you, groomsman who won’t stop goofing off or oblivious guest who is THIS close to catching on fire during a sparkler exit). Finally, when I begin the editing process, I strive to edit the day as it is delivered with a touch of warmth that beautifully reflects the heartwarming love between the couple.
+ Q: When will my final gallery be delivered?
A: I guarantee gallery delivery 7-9 weeks after you say “I do.” More often than not, galleries are delivered at 7 weeks, but during busy seasons and having two kiddos that tend to get sick, editing may take a couple of extra weeks.
+ Q Do I need an engagement Session?
A. In my opinion? YES. The pictures aren’t the only benefit you’ll receive from your engagement session. This is also an incredible opportunity for us to get to know each other better and for you to become comfortable in front of my camera.
+ Q Do you help wrangle family photos?
A. Yes! I have created a mock family shot list to help the family photo portion run smoothly and effectively. We take time to build a list of all the family photo combinations you want to make sure we capture. This way, we make sure no one gets missed and they can head off more quickly to grab snacks and drinks.
+ Q Do you help with the timeline?
A. Yes, it is one of my favorite things! The best way to ensure a stress-free, smoothly flowing wedding day is a well planned day-of timeline. But, with no experience planning weddings, how can you possibly be expected to do that? That’s where I come in! With years of experience watching what works and what definitely doesn’t on a wedding day, I can help you create a timeline that will allow for plenty of picture time, low-key transitions from one venue to the next, and even leave some room for those straggling groomsmen. Then, I’ll pop it into a Google Doc so that you, your vendors, and your bridal party have easy access to it.
+ Q: Do you travel?
A: HECK YES! My passport is always ready and my bags are already half-packed! So, please get in touch ASAP to discuss any out-of-area weddings so we can starting planning for your wedding day!
+ Q: How do I book you?
Reach out here to inquire about booking a collection with me. Let’s get a phone call scheduled to learn a little more about each other.
Once the retainer is paid and the contract is singed, we are official and can start planning!
A monthish before your wedding, we will meet and create a timeline together along with a family shot list!
Your wedding day is here! The day is going to be amazing and I already know I am going to have a blast photographing it.
You can expect some sneak peeks of your wedding day within a week. After that the full gallery will be sent to you between 7-9 weeks.
You can count on me being your hype girl, with a calming presence. I will be encouraging you on, crying with you, laughing with you, and dancing with you on the party bus or the dance floor. Yes, I am on the dance floor. Especially if there are early 2000s throwbacks!
