THE EXPERIENCE
SO HERE'S THE THING
You’re making an investment in something you’re going to value years
and years from now, I take that seriously.
One of the things I value the most in life are all the photos and videos I collect throughout my life. Whether they be ones I've taken, or ones other people have taken of me, or just seeing places and experiences that I was apart of and being able to relive those feelings - nothing beats that.
When people think of photography, and especially valuable photographer - they automatically think of weddings. But if you think about it- there are so many stages of your life that are just as important - some even more important! With me shifting my focus back on sessions and elopements, I want to show you that you don't need all the bells and whistles to make your adventure picture-worthy. You just need to believe that this experience is worth having, and you need someone to show you that this experience is important, and so is your story. That's where I come in :)
You see me reference 'keeping it real' a lot - that's because working with me isn't just a photoshoot. It's a damn good time! And I focus a lot on making sure that I am 100% myself, so YOU can be 100% yourselves. Why? Because these are YOUR memories - why would you want to be anything BUT yourselves?
The experience is the most important part, but to be able to have photos to look back on that really bring those true feelings and memories back, you need someone who is going to invest in your story & what you dream of. So to do that, you need to be able to invest in your story as well!
THE INVESTMENT
You want ART..
but for it to be YOU.

I do this because I love seeing people in their element. I’m here to keep it real and tell you that you can do whatever you want....really. If you want togo climb a mountain, f*k it lets go. If you want to have chill by a campfire or just in your backyard, I'll make sure I've got a cooler packed with drinks. If you want to jump in a glacier lake, or wake up in the middle of nature for sunrise- I ain’t holdin’ you back .... I’m packin’ my bag and gettin’ ready to go with you. So let’s experience your adventure the way you want to; I’ll be there makin’ sure you’ll remember it forever.
To make that happen, we need to Work together
HOW DO WE DO THAT?
I try to keep the process as simple as possible. This way, the focus is dialled in on the experience, and the final result.
Yes, I am an experienced photographer, who knows a lot about light, locations, ideas, and lots more! BUT, the whole point of getting photos done is to make sure that we're capturing YOU! In whatever element makes you feel best.
SO, that means you have to be able to open up, and keep an open mind! But also be able to make decisions - because I can curate an entire shoot on my own, but then it's for me - not for you. This is for you.
After booking, I start by hoping on a call with you to get to know you both, your story, and what you're dreaming of for these photos! Nothing serious, all causal. Then we'll discuss options for ideas, locations, and to go over logistics based off of what YOUR envisioning for your photos. Then from there, we make a plan A, and maybe a plan B if we need it!
Closer to the date, and in between, we can exchange some inspo, talk about things we might need need, and closer to just finalize some details over text!
Then from there - we actually EXPERIENCE IT!
TWO BIGGEST THINGS TO REMEMBER FOR GREAT PHOTOS:
1. Trust the Process
2. Let Go of the Things We CAN'T control!

"I actually can't contain it. I'm so so so in love with them. They just take you back to exactly how the day felt and honestly that is so so much more than we could ever imagine. I can't tell you how happy I am and I haven't even seen the whole gallery yet"

why you should give a shit about this
As important as our experience together is, so is the environment around us. And I'd be heartbroken to find out we can't go somewhere you've always wanted to go because of what kind of state its now in because people didn't care about the places they were experiencing. I'm all for wherever you want to go- I love bein' a tour guide for you guys! But I won't compromise the places we're experiencing just for a good photo.
