What i do

Weddings & Couples


From first dates to forever

dating, engaged, or married, I’m here to document your love in a way that feels real, comfortable, and undeniably you.

Families


We’ll start with the classic, smile-at-the-camera shots so they’re done right away, then we’ll move into the fun. With playful prompts like dance parties, silly tickles, and running into a parent’s arms, your kids stay engaged, happy, and free to be themselves.

Seniors


This is your time. We’ll blast your favorite playlist, mix in a variety of poses, and keep things fun and comfortable, so you leave feeling happy, confident, and fully YOU.

Branding


Let’s take your branding and headshots to the next level, without losing what makes you, you. In a studio or your workspace, we’ll play with props, backdrops, and movement to create polished, personal images that elevate your brand and tell your story.
