Here to capture the beauty of your story — transforming life’s most precious moments into timeless works of art.

I highly recommend using my professional print lab, which is linked directly to your gallery for seamless ordering. This ensures your high-quality, retouched photographs are printed with the accurate colors and tones you see in your gallery. While you have full rights to print your images wherever you’d like, I cannot guarantee the quality or color accuracy if you choose an outside lab.

You’re investing in premium photography, and my hope is that you’ll print through the gallery to truly honor the quality and beauty of your images. But at the end of the day, do your thing! You will have the rights to printing wherever you would like!

We all know that true artistry takes time!

For weddings, my contracted turnaround time is 12–14 weeks, with a sneak peek gallery of 50–150 images delivered within 2 weeks. For portrait sessions, the editing window is approximately 6-8 weeks.

Any additional requests after wedding sneak peeks are sent will be invoiced for the ‘Rush Gallery’ fee.

I take great pride in delivering high-quality, polished images, and I meticulously edit each one to perfection. While these timeframes are approximate, I always work diligently to get your galleries to you as quickly as possible, and sooner than expected.

Rush Gallery Delivery is offered on a limited basis upon request and is based on my current editing line-up. Additional fees apply.

I offer a Rush Gallery editing service for clients who need their images sooner, depending on my current editing lineup. For weddings, I can deliver your full gallery within 3–4 weeks, and for standard sessions, within 1–2 weeks. This expedited service is available on a limited basis and comes with an additional fee for me to clear out my schedule, but I am happy to make it happen! If you’re interested, let me know, and I’ll check my current editing schedule! :)

I specialize in photography for luxury weddings, elopements, couples, destination events, lifestyle portraits — (families, motherhood, seniors, newborns), spicy boudoir, and branding photography. Each session is tailored to your story, with personalized styling guidance, custom PDF prep guides, and my signature timeless editing style.

Whether it’s celebrating love, life, or your brand, I’m here to create unforgettable, authentic imagery just for you.

I invest in the best to ensure your moments are captured with precision and artistry. I shoot with the latest cutting-edge Nikon USA mirrorless professional cameras. My main chick is the Nikon z7ii— renowned for her exceptional image quality at 46 megapixel resolution and reliability. My gear lineup includes a variety of high-end lenses, with three main lenses I trust for versatility and clarity. (35mm f1.4, 50mm f1.4, 80mm f1.4, & 24-70mm f2.8). For unique situations, I rent specialty equipment, such as telephoto or underwater lenses, to bring your vision to life.

No matter the lighting conditions, I’m always prepared with advanced external flashes to ensure your photos are beautifully lit in my signature style. For an added touch of nostalgia, I incorporate Polaroid film cameras to create fun, instant prints—perfect as keepsakes or client gifts. If you’d like more of these charming prints, additional film packages are available to enhance your session.

When you book with me, you can rest assured knowing I use only the most advanced technology and tools to deliver timeless, high-quality imagery tailored to your story.

The number of images you receive depends on the package, session length, and any additional time booked. I don’t believe in withholding your precious moments, so I send all the best shots! On average, I deliver 60–75+ images per hour of shooting.

Weddings: You can expect 700–1,200 fully edited images.

Lifestyle Portraits & Boudoir: Typically, 100–250 fully retouched final images.

Every session is unique, and I’m committed to delivering a collection that beautifully captures your story.

I’ve had a camera in hand since 2007. I began photographing projects professionally in 2017. Since then, I’ve been fortunate to capture weddings across the U.S. and would love to expand internationally. If your wedding is in one of my dream destinations, you may even get a discount on travel expenses—so don’t hesitate to reach out!

Absolutely — Retouching is one of the most time-intensive parts of my process, and it’s something I take immense pride in. It’s also one of the main reasons clients seek out my photography services! My editing style features a signature blend of timeless, earthy muted tones that I’m most known for. I carefully remove minor blemishes, scratches, and bruises, and lightly soften under-eye discoloration to enhance your natural beauty while keeping the images authentic, organic, timeless, and true to life.

I do not perform extensive Photoshop work or body alterations, as I firmly believe in celebrating your natural self. This is where my posing expertise as a dancer comes into play. Please note that I only work within my signature editing style and cannot accommodate requests for other editing aesthetics. For additional in-depth editing requests, extra fees may apply.

With my retouching, you’ll always look like the most confident, beautiful, and authentic version of yourself!

For larger weddings or events with complex logistics, a second shooter is incredibly valuable in ensuring every angle and moment is captured flawlessly. They also provide an extra layer of backup for any unexpected technological issues and a second perspective on your entire wedding day — that means more photos in your final gallery!

For events with over 100 guests, a second shooter is highly recommended and may be required to ensure all the special details and moments are beautifully documented. If you want comprehensive coverage and a stress-free experience, adding a second shooter is the perfect choice! I will arrange with one of my trusty faves!

Absolutely! After nearly a decade in the wedding industry, I’ve had the pleasure of working with some truly incredible professionals/artists, and I definitely have my favorites.
