Welcome



How special that our paths have crossed!

 

 

Hey, you - yes, you!


I'll say the thing most people don't say out loud: you don't need a reason to get photos taken. Not an anniversary, not a milestone, not a "big enough" occasion to justify it. The special occasion is being alive, together, right now - and that's already enough. Of course, it's always fun when there is a reason too ;)


Maybe it's been years since you've had a photo of the two of you that wasn't a blurry selfie in a dark restaurant. Maybe you've never had your photos taken. Maybe you're celebrating something specific. Maybe you just want proof of this exact chapter of your life before it quietly becomes a different one. All of it counts.


This page walks you through what a session with me actually looks like, and what's included at each level. No pressure, no overthinking required - just pick what feels right and let's go from there!

You Reached Out.


Pick a time that works for you, or send me a quick note first if you've got questions before booking! I'll send out a questionnaire about your session, after your booked!

The Process

We connect.


We'll chat about everything - what to wear, where we're meeting, and anything else that'll help you feel ready instead of caught off guard!

Your session.


We take our time. If you feel awkward in front of the camera at first, that's normal - I'll give you something to do or talk about until you forget it's there!

The COUPLES Collections

Couple embraces near a stone fountain in a lush garden with tulips and green trees in the background.

From something short and sweet -  just enough time to actually be together in front of the camera without it feeling like a production - or a little more time more room to move to allow for a mix of digital and 35mm film, we can bring to life the visual documentation that represents what your love looks like. Right here, right now - because the special occasion is being alive.

Customize Your Experience



Not every couple needs the same session, and yours shouldn't have to fit into a box either.


If something matters to you that isn't already covered - more time, a specific detail you want included - tell me. I'd rather build a session around what actually matters to you than hand you a rigid package and hope it fits.

35mm Film


Film adds a layer of nostalgia and softness that feels timeless and imperfect in the best way! These images capture your day with warmth, texture, and an honesty that can’t be replicated digitally. It’s an intentional choice for couples drawn to emotion, artistry, and the beauty of imperfection.

FAQ

Do we need a special occasion to book a session?

Absolutely not! Some of my favorite sessions have had no occasion attached at all - just two people who wanted to remember exactly where they are right now!

What if we feel awkward or don't know what to do in front of the camera?

Completely normal! And it's not something you need to fix beforehand. I'll guide you through it - a prompt, a bit of movement, something to talk about - until you forget the camera's even there.
