       PORTRAIT COLLECTIONS

A natural progression from wedding photography, I love portraits! Whether it's the lead-up to your big day with a sweet engagement session, or celebrating the arrival of your first (or fourth!) baby, I love to have a front-row seat to all the celebratory stages - camera in hand. 

all about the

PORTRAIT
EXPERIENCE

You don't have to be a former or upcoming bride to book portraits with me - I love to meet new faces (and also the rest of you, not just your face). My wedding packages include a complimentary engagement session, it's one of my favorite parts! I also offer stand-alone portrait sessions for maternity, families, and high school senior girls.

MY PORTRAITS ARE BEST DESCRIBED AS

UNSCRIPTED.
LIGHTHEARTED.
FULL OF LIFE.

I love to make space for natural interaction, games, tickles, hugs, kisses, and snack breaks. My portrait sessions, especially those with small children, are relaxed, unstructured, & completely unfussy. I love to shoot in open spaces that allow for a little running around and outdoor voices.

    YOU'RE LOOKING FOR:

clean, natural BACKGROUNDS

Styled sessions just aren't my thing. I love to let my subjects shine with natural, spacious backdrops and no props.

A no-pressure session

I keep chill pills on hand. Relax! I'll make images you'll love and give you time to warm up before the fun begins!

SOFT, PASTEL COLORS

A natural extension of my wedding work, I'll be sure you have soft, creamy skin tones, muted greens, and all the emotion wrapped up in each image.

bit

different

No styled shoots here. With an organic, observational approach to portraits, I prefer to let my gorgeous subjects shine without a themed backdrop or props. Let's give the people what they want - you. Front and center.

WE ALL AGREED - BEST. FAMILY. PHOTOS.

i really love photographing:

Maternity + Newborn

As a Mama x4, I know how sacred this short but sweet season of life is! I also love the smell of a newborn's head so you should invite me over for photos and sniffs.

Families

Watching them grow is both amazing and terrible, isn't it? Let's press the pause button for an hour and enjoy life as it is, right now.

High School Seniors

I  love photographing these graduating girls -what a special milestone! "You girls keep me young, ugh, I love you so much."

INVESTMENT

Complimentary engagement sessions are included with full wedding packages. Standalone portrait sessions begin at $450. Your portrait session includes 25 miles of travel and a curated gallery of images. Additional travel may be added within my service area.

I'd love to mark a milestone with you!
