The Experience
Photography is about so much ore than beautiful images - it's about preserving connection, emotion, and the moments you never want to forget. My goal is to create an experience that feels relaxed, meaningful, and genuinely enjoyable from beginning to end.
Whether I'm documenting your wedding day, your growing family, your senior year, or a quiet season of everyday love, I want your photos to feel honest to you.
The Process
This is the process:
I. Let's Connect
Start by filling out the inquiry form on my website. From there, we'll chat about your vision, answer any questions you may have, and choose the collection that feels like the best fit for your needs. Once your contract is signed and the retainer is paid, your date is officially secured on my calendar!
II. Show Up & Be Present
This is the fun part. You do not need to know how to pose or perform for the camera - that's my job to guide you through. My approach is centered around creating a relaxed environment where you can focus on being fully present while I document the genuine moments unfolding naturally.
No stiff poses. No pressure. Just authentic memories preserved with care.
III. Relive the Memories
After your session, I'll carefully hand-edit your images and deliver them through a beautiful online gallery. From belly laughs and happy tears to the quiet in-between moments, these photographs are meant to be revisited, shared, printed, frames, and treasured for years to come.
Frequently Asked Questions
FAQ
Where are you based? Do you travel?
Absolutely! Some of my favorite stories are the ones that take me somewhere new.
I am based in Northeast, Ohio, but I happily travel throughout the United States to document life's beautiful moments. Travel within Ohio may include a small travel fee depending on distance. For sessions and weddings outside of Ohio, I do not charge additional photography coverage fees - I simply ask that travel and lodging accommodations be covered.
If you're dreaming of a destination session or wedding, I would be honored to come along for the adventure!
How many photos will we receive?
Every session and wedding is beautifully unique, so the final number of delivered images will vary depending on the type of session, the amount of coverage, and the moments naturally unfolding throughout your day.
Rather than placing a strict limit on images, my focus is on thoughtfully documenting your story as authentically thoroughly as possible. I carefully curate and hand-edit the best moments, emotions, details, and in-between memories so your final gallery feels complete, intentional, and true to your experience.
My goal is never to overwhelm you with hundreds of repetitive images, but instead to deliver a gallery filled with meaningful photographs you'll genuinely treasure for years to come.
What if the weather is bad?
If weather conditions are unsafe or negatively impact the session experience, we'll work together to reschedule for a better date whenever possible.
What is your turnaround time?
Delivery times vary depending on the type of session and season, but most portrait galleries are delivered within 2-4 weeks, while weddings are typically delivered within 6-8 weeks. Sneak peeks are delivered shortly after your session so you have something exciting to look through while waiting for your full gallery!
Do you help with planning or location ideas?
Definitely! Whether you need help choosing a location, planning a timeline, coordinating outfits, or simply figuring out where to start, I'm always happy to help make the experience feel seamless and stress-free.
