“For me, photography is not just about creating beautiful images—it’s about celebrating the people, the stories, and the moments that make us who we are.”

These are actually my initials!

It’s so inspiring to me to watch someone’s confidence build after a photography session. Most people are really shy of the camera, including myself. The drink helps!
-
Many people feel uncomfortable having their picture taken (so if you feel shy you're not alone!). I believe photography sessions should feel fun and relaxed so your energy shines through in the photos! Plus it makes for a great date night idea! Some people either drink during the session or take it home with them to drink later.
There's no pressure to accept it if you cannot drink. Just let me know what you like and we can find an alternative. It's just my way to say thank you for booking with me!
-
Yes! We can rent a studio and include the fee in the total cost as it is dependent on the studio.
Prefer an in-home session? I can bring the setup to you for a $50 fee to cover travel, setup, and breakdown.

Yes! If you didn’t find a package that aligns with what you need, I’d be more than happy to work with you still. Just schedule a consultation (it’s free!) and I’ll get back to you asap!

I believe in a quick turnaround time so your photos will be ready within one week of the session if not sooner!
