The Experience
 
your photos should feel like you...
...not a performance, not a checklist, but a real reflection of your connection, your energy, and this season of life.
From the very beginning, my goal is to make the experience feel easy, comfortable, and fun. I’ll guide you when you need direction, but I’ll also step back when the real moments start unfolding. Think of me less like someone posing you, and more like a friend with a camera who’s there to hype you up, calm your nerves, fix your hair, and catch all the in-between magic.
Sessions with me are movement-based and natural. We’ll laugh, we’ll probably run through a field at some point, and I’ll always encourage you to focus more on each other than the camera. That’s where the real photos live.
For weddings and elopements, I’m there for the full story—not just the big moments, but the quiet ones in between. The deep breaths, the hand squeezes, the wind catching your veil, the way your people look at you when you’re not watching.
Before your session or wedding, I’ll help guide you through planning, timing, locations, and all the little details so you never feel lost in the process. I want you to feel prepared, but never pressured.

STEP 02
 
planning your perfect session
Before your session, I’ll help you plan all the little details — from choosing a location to outfit guidance and timing for the best light. This is the perfect time for you to show me any inspo you might have for your session. I'm SO here for all of the creative ideas.
STEP 03
 
Picture time
You don’t have to know how to pose or what to do — that’s my job. You just have to show up and be yourselves. And don't worry, I will come with prompts and pose ideas. Your session will feel more like a walk, a date, or an experience than a photoshoot.
I’ll guide you with gentle prompts and movement so your images feel natural, emotional, and unforced.
Trust the process, I will do my best. to help you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera!
STEP 04
 
Delivering photos
After your session, I carefully cull and hand-edit your images.
Each photo is crafted with intention to reflect not just how it looked, but how it felt.
Your finished gallery will be delivered through an online gallery where you can view, download, and share your images.
Turnaround time varies by session type and will be outlined in your contract.
Your photos deserve to live beyond your phone screen.
You’ll have the option to order professional-quality prints and keepsakes directly from your gallery so your memories can be held, framed, and passed down.
FAQ
What is your turnaround rate?
I know how exciting it is to see your photos — I feel the same way after every session! My typical turnaround time is 2–4 weeks for regular sessions and 6–8 weeks for weddings. I always aim to deliver your gallery as soon as it’s beautifully edited and ready, and I’ll keep you updated along the way if there are any changes or delays.
How do I book a session with you?
Booking is easy! Just fill out my contact form with a few details about what you’re dreaming up. I’ll get back to you with availability, package options, and everything you need to secure your date. A signed contract and retainer officially reserve your spot on my calendar.
Do you travel?
Travel within 30 miles of the Willamette Valley is included in your session price. For sessions beyond that, I charge a travel fee to cover gas, time on the road, and travel accommodations if needed. If you have a dream location in mind — whether it’s the coast, the mountains, or somewhere special to you — I’m always happy to chat details and create a custom quote!
 
From inquiry to gallery delivery, my goal is to make this experience easy, meaningful, and deeply personal.
