Portraits are all about life. When I say “portrait sessions,” I mean a full hour with the people you love most, capturing moments like updated family photos, new babies, or pregnancy milestones. These 60-minute sessions give you uninterrupted time to connect and document life as it is right now—whether it’s a big milestone or just this moment in time. We skip the stand and smile and really lean into having a good time. Portraits are meant to be fun, playful, and full of family personality.

Portraits start at $675.

With years of experience behind the camera on wedding days, I bring a calm, supportive presence to every celebration.

My approach is rooted in connection and storytelling, so your final gallery feels like you — joyful, vibrant, and full of life.
