TRUE TO COLOR, DOCUMENTARY & TIMELESS

It Starts with Yes

Whether you’re planning a surprise proposal or celebrating your engagement with a golden hour photo session, I photograph these moments with playful energy, soft direction, and a style that’s heartfelt and editorial.

My approach blends intentional portraiture with documentary ease—capturing the in-between glances, wind in your hair, and honest emotion that makes your story uniquely yours.

Common Questions

  • Most sessions are booked 2 to 8 weeks in advance. Proposals often come together more quickly, so don’t hesitate to reach out even if your date is soon—I’ll always try to accommodate if I can.

  • For sure! I’ll hop on a planning call with you to coordinate timing and logistics, and I’ll do my best to make sure you feel totally supported (even if you’re nervous).

  • You can! Just bear in mind the length of your photo session (changing too many times within a short session may take away from your experience) and the location (are you comfortable changing in your car/outdoors if there isn’t an available restroom?).

  • I primarily schedule engagement and proposal sessions on Mondays through Thursdays because I reserve weekends for weddings, but I do offer some limited weekend availability as an optional add-on. Just ask when you inquire.
