Ah! You’ve made it to the investments page. I know how important budgets are and I’m so incredibly excited that you’re considering investing in ME. I will never discourage setting a budget, but I will plead you to be realistic with it. "You get what you pay for" is a VERY real thing, especially with photos. A photographer's price reflects the hours and years poured into their craft, and it's not something someone can "pick up" as easily as they can pick up a camera. Photography is an art and photographers are the artists. So don't let money be the ONLY thing that decides who will capture your special memories. I know, it’s a big investment and you may be asking yourself, “why invest?” I’ll tell you why. Long after the music has faded, the dress has been hung in a closet, the dances have been danced and the food has been eaten, your love for each other and your photos will be all that remain of your magical day. All the planning and preparation will be over in a matter of hours. But your photos will let you relive those moments and emotions your entire life. And you don’t want to spend your lifetime not absolutely LOVING every single one of those  photos.

Over the last few years I've learned a LOT about capturing people the way they truly are. It's become less about me and the aesthetic I want and more about truly capturing THE moment and emotions that are unfolding in front of me. I will never push you to do something that doesn't feel authentically you. Relationships, and life in general, won't always be as appreciated as they are on their best days, but these photos can help you remember why you chose that specific person, or who you are, every day. I want your day to feel honest and totally YOU. I want to capture your day, not only the way it looked, but the way it felt.


My promise to you is: an incredible experience and investing my whole self into your big day. I want to create a space for  you to be yourself. My biggest goal is to capture you in a way that, when you're sitting on the couch 10 years from now, you still get excited to look at the photos we created together. I want you to have photos that you will love for an entire lifetime, and then for your loved ones to cherish way beyond that.

If this resonates with you and you're ready to dive in, take a look at what I offer below and let’s plan something amazing together!

Adventure Sessions

This ones for those who like to live life outside of their comfort zone. For the ones whose soul craves new experiences. The playful ones. For those who are open to trying new things. Essentially this is a styled shoot or model call where you have a say in what you want to do. I will ask you a few questions, get to know your personality a bit, see what kind of ideas you may have and then I will give you three different options and you choose what you want! It can range anywhere from hiking, to picnic dates, to going to the fair, or bar hopping, taking a dip in a pool to cooking together, and basically anything else you can think of. I’m mostly in charge with this one. Creative freedom makes me feel alive and that’s what this option focuses on, getting creative. So if this sounds fun to you then LET’S. GET. ADVENTURING!
