before we talk $, how do i know we’ll be a good fit?

This whole investment/money thing is important, but it can also hold a lot of stressful tension with it. I get it. You’re trying to be responsible with your money but you also want to have gorgeous documentation of these moments you can pull out years from now. I freak out over any purchase, and when I hired a wedding photographer, it was no different. Honestly, I chose my wedding photographer because I knew her in college and I already knew I was comfortable with her.

As part of the booking process, I offer a virtual complimentary chat where we can get to know each other.

I do not want you to be uncomfortable in front of the camera I want you to know as much about me as possible so that when it comes to your session, we can just hang out and enjoy the moment together. If you’re looking for that rigid “picture perfect” moment in a high stress environment, this is NOT the session for you. Friend, take that pressure off of yourself and let me take care of you!

I’ll help you every step of the way from planning your look, talking through where your family will adventure for the day, and answering those last minute freak outs over text. (We’ve all been there!)

At your session, we’re going to do life and be real together in a fun, relaxed, and low pressure environment.

We’ll play games, tell stories, have tickle fights, get a case of the giggles (or two!), and so much more. Let me worry about stray hairs, necklaces getting turned around, and all those other worries. This is your opportunity to be with your people. Your session is more than just being in front of a camera, it’s an experience that you and your family can share together.

Photography is a way of feeling,
of touching,
of loving.

What you have caught on film
is captured forever...

it remembers little things,
long after you have
forgotten everything.
