THE HISTORY OF YOU
The Archive is open
The archive is not a static place; it is a living record of where you’ve been. With over a decade of experience, I seek out the unscripted geography of your connection. I look for the wind in the hair and the dirt on the boots—the raw evidence of a story well-lived. Together, we will create visual monuments to your most honest, adventurous moments.
Elopments + Micro Weddings
The Art of Your History
This is an open invitation to document the wild, unscripted geography of your connection. From the wind-swept ridges of an intentional adventure to the quiet pulse of a shared ritual, we will gather the visual evidence of your history as it happens. We move past the performative to find the raw, adventurous warmth that defines your unique path together.
Portraits
The Art of Being Known
brand portraits, families, couples, maternity, engagement, anniversary, seniors
An archive of the self—a study in texture, truth, and the artifacts of your life. Whether we are exploring the rugged coastline or the familiar light of your own home, our time together is an expedition into what makes you, you. We aren't just taking photos; we are discovering the soulful details that belong in your permanent record.
Love Stories & Engagements
The Art of Becoming
A visual record of two lives intertwining in real-time. We’ll venture into the spaces that hold meaning for you—the untamed fields, the quiet architectural ruins, or the city streets where your story first began. This is a practice in honest discovery, capturing the kinetic energy and organic rhythm of how you grow side-by-side.
Frequently Asked Questions
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
Preparation is secondary to presence. While we will utilize soft light and intentional settings, the 'work' of the session is simply being known. Wear what feels like a second skin, move with your natural rhythm, and trust that we are capturing a record that will outlast the present moment.
Are the travel expenses included in your packages?
The utility of my sessions includes all travel expenses—from airfare and transport to accommodations—thoughtfully integrated into your total investment. By pre-calculating these costs, we remove the distraction of hidden fees or future payments, allowing our singular focus to remain on the intentional preservation of your story.
How will I receive my photos, how many + how long does it take?
To ensure every moment is refined with the care it deserves, the curation process typically spans six to twelve weeks, depending on the depth and scale of your story. You will receive a comprehensive series ranging from 100 to over 1,000 images, each serving as a permanent and artful record of your history.
Can you recommend any good locations?
I view each location as a primary source—a living backdrop that adds depth and soul to your visual record. I maintain a curated collection of local environments, from quiet architectural studies to untouched fields, each selected for its timeless character and natural light. Together, we will choose a setting that feels less like a stage and more like home. Once your session is officially booked, I will provide a comprehensive location guide to help us begin our study of this chapter.
What should we wear to our session?
I am here to fully support you in choosing pieces that reflect your soul. Once your session is officially booked, I will provide a comprehensive "What to Wear" guide designed to help you prepare for our study. While I suggest favoring timeless materials and natural tones, my deepest recommendation is that you dress in a way that feels like a true extension of yourself—choosing whatever makes you feel most beautiful and at home.
Do you offer raw or unedited files?
In the spirit of curation, I do not release raw or unfinished files. I believe that an archive is defined not just by what is kept, but by the intentionality of the selection. Each image I deliver has been meticulously refined to ensure its beauty as a piece of art and its permanence as a historical record. You will receive the finished study—a complete, soulful, and preserved reflection of your history.
Will you photoshop us?
I believe in preserving the honest, organic beauty of your story exactly as it unfolded. I do not alter or "photoshop" your physical appearance, as my goal is to archive the truthful essence of who you are. However, I will occasionally remove distracting environmental elements—such as a people, signs, or other distractions in the background—to ensure the focus remains entirely on your connection. My focus is always on the artful preservation of the moment, kept pure and intentional.
What happens if the weather is unfavorable?
I am always open to shifting our plans to ensure we are working in harmony with the environment. If you ever need to reschedule, please reach out and we will find a new time to continue our study together. Should you choose to cancel, I hold a non-refundable retainer to honor the time and preparation already invested, though any additional contributions made toward your session will be returned to you with grace and understanding.
I find that every element carries its own unique beauty, and I am more than happy to embrace the rain or wind if it feels true to your story. However, if the weather feels like a distraction rather than a part of the narrative, we can intuitively explore a new date together. We will move through these decisions with open communication, ensuring your experience remains peaceful and intentional.
