An outdated or unpolished headshot can hold you back—whether it makes you look less approachable, doesn’t reflect your current role, or simply feels “off” from the professional you are today. I help you create a headshot that communicates confidence, credibility, and approachability. Perfect for LinkedIn, company websites, or any platform where making the right first impression matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How far in advance should I book your services?
Honestly, the sooner, the better! Wedding and elopement dates can fill up fast, especially during peak seasons. I recommend booking 6-12 months ahead for weddings or elopements to secure your special day. Engagement sessions are more flexible, so we can usually find a date 1-3 months in advance. If your date is coming up soon, don’t hesitate to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate!

Yes, I absolutely love to travel! Whether you’re tying the knot at a cozy local venue, hiking to a remote mountain peak, or hosting a destination wedding abroad, I’m all in. Let’s talk about your dream location, and I’ll help make it happen. Travel fees depend on the distance and location, but I’m happy to work with you to create a plan that fits your needs.

I know how much these memories mean to you, so I make sure you get a beautiful collection of moments from your day. For weddings and elopements, you can expect anywhere from 400 to 800 edited images, depending on the length of coverage. Engagement sessions usually include 50-100 stunning photos. My goal is to give you a full story of your love—from big moments to small details.

Absolutely! Every couple has their own vision, and I’m here to make sure your package reflects yours. Need extra hours? Want a second shooter? Interested in prints or albums? Let’s chat about what’s most important to you, and I’ll create a package that fits perfectly.

Don’t stress—I’ve got you covered (literally if need be!). Some of the most magical photos happen in unexpected weather, like a gentle rain or dramatic clouds. If it’s really not what you envisioned, we can always find a creative workaround, like shifting locations or timing. Either way, I’ll make sure your photos are stunning and full of love.

It’s easier than you think! I’ll help you every step of the way—from picking outfits that match your vibe to choosing a location that’s meaningful to you as a couple. My main advice is to relax and just be yourselves. We’ll spend the session laughing, having fun, and capturing the love you share.

Yes, and they’re absolutely gorgeous! There’s something so special about seeing your photos come to life in print or flipping through an album with loved ones. I offer high-quality prints and custom-designed albums to preserve your memories beautifully. Let me know if you’d like to include these options in your package!

I know you’ll be excited to relive your day, so I work hard to deliver your photos as quickly as possible. Engagement sessions are ready within 2-3 weeks, while wedding and elopement galleries take 6-8 weeks. I carefully edit each image to make sure they’re absolutely perfect and worth the wait!

Right now, I specialize in photography because that’s where my heart is. That said, I work with some incredible videographers and would be happy to recommend someone who can beautifully complement the photos I capture.

My style is all about telling your story. I’ll be there for the big moments—your vows, your first dance—and the in-between ones, like stolen glances and shared laughs. I blend candid photography with light guidance so you feel comfortable and look amazing. It’s your day, and I’m here to capture it exactly as it unfolds—real, beautiful, and full of love.
