I believe your photos should make you feel something—not just remember how things looked, but actually transport you back to what your life was like in that exact moment.
My approach is about reading the energy of your day and capturing each moment as it naturally unfolds, but with an artful eye for the beauty that's already there. I'm drawn to the real, unguarded instances that happen when people forget there's a camera around, and I love finding ways to elevate those everyday moments without making them feel staged or overly styled. I work more like a guest (...who happens to have good photography gear) than a photographer directing a show.
If you're nervous about feeling awkward in front of the camera, you're in good company—the best shots come from real moments, and I have some sneaky ways to help that shift happen.
Ultimately, my job is pretty simple: take all the love and joy happening around me and translate it into images you'll treasure long after the day is over.
My work is led by you, your community, and the energy of the day. I offer different packages to customize your experience whether that be for your wedding day or wedding weekend. I offer Super 8 as an add-on, and include an engagement session for my local couples (I love to meet before your wedding day whenever possible!). I shoot a mixture of film and digital for all weddings, with film being an important part of my workflow, and also offer all-film weddings upon request.
Think about this like you're planning a fun date or spending a cozy Sunday morning at home, business as usual. I like to shoot at a location that feels authentic to you as a couple—whether that's in your home, on your favorite hike, or doing an activity you love together. While I do incorporate some classic portraits, most of the session will feel like we're just hanging out, and if I've done it right, you'll forget my camera's even there :)
I photograph families as they actually are—whether that's a lazy Sunday morning making pancakes, an adventure at your favorite spot, or classic portraits that feel authentically you. My approach is about documenting your life as it really happens, not staging a performance of family life. These sessions feel less like a photoshoot and more like setting aside time to just be together, with me quietly capturing the connections and personalities that make your family unique. The goal is creating images that show who you are right now, in this season of life
I photograph entrepreneurs and business owners who want professional images with personality. Whether you're looking for approachable portraits or want to document your work process, my approach is about capturing who you are in your element. These sessions create a library of images you can use across all your platforms while staying true to your brand and personality.
