SENIORS
Senior portraits are so much more than the picture you place in your high school yearbook. I get to know your personality and interests to deliver a personalized session that highlights YOU and your story. You will walk away with a beautiful, unique gallery that represents the very best version of yourself.
-
FAMIIES
Portrait sessions can be either indoor or outdoor and include a mix of traditional portraits and lifestyle, candid captures in-between. I promise our time together will warm your heart and the walls in your home for years to come.
-
COUPLES
Every love story begins with two hearts intertwined. In couples sessions, I am dedicated to both crafting beautiful portraits and echoing your authentic love story. You can choose between a cozy indoor lifestyle shoot, a scenic outdoor setting or a blend of the two.
-
MATERNITY & NEWBORN
Before anything else, I am a mother. I PROMISE that when you choose me as your maternity & newborn photographer, you can rest assured that I will provide flattering poses for those last few weeks of pregnancy and I will be as gentle and careful with your little one as I am my own. The lifestyle nature of my photography allows for a carefree, relaxed session that will leave you with all the little details of this lovely time of transition in your life.

CAKESMASH & MILESTONE
They really do grow so fast. That’s why I provide packages for that first birthday cake smash and all the milestones after and in between. These packages are designed to be affordable and customizable for you little ones age.

WEDDINGS
Love is unique and and no two love stories are the same…and so it is with weddings. I like to hear the details of your important day to customize a quote that fits all of your needs and isn’t a simple hourly rate. My wedding packages start at $1800 and engagement sessions are always included, free of charge.
