A cinematic Northwest Ohio photography experience designed to honor your story with purpose, emotion, and God-given beauty.
My Approach
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.
The Process
1: begin the journey
First, simply fill out my contact form with a few details about your story, your wedding date, and what you're dreaming up for your day. Then, I’ll be in touch within 48 hours with next steps and a personal reply. In a no-pressure Zoom call (or in-person if you're local!), we’ll talk through your wedding or session vision, what matters most to you, and how I can come alongside you to capture it all with intention, care, and purpose.
2: intention & collaboration
Next we will discuss your vision, your connection, and what you truly want to remember from this season. You’ll also receive a wardrobe guide or wedding guide filled with helpful tips, inspiration, and everything you need to feel prepared and at ease. And don’t forget to take a moment to celebrate—whether it’s popping some bubbly or simply soaking in this sweet season—because the real magic begins when we start creating together.
3: fine-tuning the details
Next, I’ll walk you through the details—like timelines, contracts, and securing your date with a non-refundable retainer. This step is all about clarity and intention, so you can feel confident and supported moving forward. We'll pick the perfect spots to document your memories and it will be beautiful.
4: session or wedding day
On the day of your session or wedding I'll reach out with a reminder of what a great day you're about to have, and weather plan if needed, I’ll be there early and ready—focused on creating a calm, joyful experience where you can fully live in the moment. Guiding you each step of the way with intention and care.
5: gallery delivery
After your session or wedding day, I'll carefully curate a wonderful collection of your memories so you'll have an amazing heirloom to hold onto. You'll be able to download, print, and share- all from the gallery. Sessions take 2-3 weeks to edit, and weddings take about 10-12 weeks. I also offer express turnaround add-ons if you just are too excited!
Frequently Asked Questions
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.
