Searching for nostalgic storytelling, emotive imagery, and a guided experience that's actually effortless? I’m known for reliably delivering all three—and so much more. By making your peace of mind a priority, I create space for you to be fully present, knowing every detail is in place and every moment is being thoughtfully captured. I let things unfold in a way that resembles your day-to-day life- so that the images you look back on, feel like you, feel timeless, and become heirlooms. This isn’t just about pretty photos—it’s about documenting the story God is writing in your life, with care and intention. Every session is approached with prayer, purpose, and a deep respect for the season you're in.
how do i book?
First simply fill out my contact form and then we will discuss your vision, your life, and what will serve this season you're in. Then we will pick out a location that best serves that- I'll send over your invoice, contract, and helpful planning guides so you feel seen and supported along the way.
how much is the retainer?
For weddings I charge a $500 non-refundable retainer, and for sessions I charge a $50 non-refunable retainer. The invoice will be sent with your contract and no date will be reserved until the invoice and contract are filled out/paid. The retainer is not in addition to your session cost.
how long does delivery take?
For sessions you can expect your gallery back within 2-3 weeks, and for weddings 10-12. I also offer express turnaround options if you'd like them back sooner. For weddings I offer a one-week or one-month turnaround to help suit your budget needs. For sessions I offer next-day turnaround.
what's your availability?
I reserve my weekend dates for weddings and family time, so I schedule sessions Monday-Thursday. I also do this because we typically have more privacy in popular locations. If this doesn’t work for you please reach out and we will figure something out that works for both of us!
where are you based out of? do you have any travel fees?
I'm based out of Defiance, Ohio and I love to travel! In states that border Ohio I charge hourly for travel, in excess of of a three hour round trip, I charge $50.00/hour and occasionally may need to charge lodging fees. I charge air travel & lodging fees for states that do not border Ohio.
do you deliver raw files?
No, as I believe that editing is half the magic that goes into images and without this huge step the images are only halfway done. I promise to never leave any photos out that you’ll want/need, and if you feel I missed delivering a photo, just ask! I’m more than happy to check back through my images and send it over to you (I make mistakes, no lie!). I won’t let you miss out on your memories!
will you photoshop us?
I don’t alter the way you look other than skin blemishes or anything temporary that would not normally be there (bruise, scrape, acne etc unless you’d like me to keep it the photos). If you’re self conscious about something, please let me know as I’ll be sure to be extra aware of that while I’m posing you.
