Why I Work This Way

Unhurried Sessions in Intentionally Chosen Spaces

I used to photograph traditional weddings. Tight timelines, posed family formals, the same shot list at every venue. It worked, but something was missing.

So I made a shift. I stepped away from the rush and built a practice around what actually matters: authentic moments, intentional locations, and the space to let connection happen naturally.

Now I work exclusively with families and couples who want their photos to feel like memories, not performances. We choose locations that match the season you're in—coastal trails for families who crave movement, quiet forest clearings for the ones who need stillness, in-home sessions for the early days when leaving the house feels impossible.

The right location isn't just a backdrop. It's part of your story.

What Documentary-Style Actually Means

What to Expect When You Work With Me

No stiff posing.

I'll give you gentle prompts—walk toward the water, let your toddler lead, whisper something that makes your partner laugh—but I'm not arranging limbs or forcing smiles. You move, I follow.

No rushed timelines.

Sessions are 60-90 minutes because real moments don't happen in the first 10 minutes. Kids need time to warm up, couples need time to forget the camera exists. I build in space for that.

Locations that match your story.



We'll talk about where you are in life right now—chasing toddlers, expecting your first, celebrating an anniversary—and choose a location that reflects that. Rocky Point for the adventurous families, Shoreline Trail for the explorers, your living room for the ones who want to remember home exactly as it is.
