let's get to the good stuff
so you're looking for a photographer.
You're looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about you - someone you can be comfortable around and give a front row seat to genuinely document your wedding day or family; so you're able to have photos that take you back not only to the moment, but the feeling you had when the photo was taken.
I'm here for the people and the moments - I'm here for you.
FAQ
Can we give you a shot list for our wedding?
How do we book you?
The short answer is no. While some photographers choose to go off of shot lists at weddings, I prefer not to as it can create unrealistic expectations on the couples behalf. Although I'd usually catch most of these as they unfold naturally throughout the day, I wouldn't go out of my way to curate any moments that aren't reflective of the day itself. I would hate to miss something beautiful and candid because I was focusing on a shot list. With that being said, I definitely love knowing if there's anything out of the norm that you'd like a photo of on the day. Let's chat about it!
It's so simple! Once you reach out to me and we begin the conversation, we'll talk details! For weddings/elopements, we'll schedule a short call or video chat to go over details — your vision, your budget, my philosophy, etc! We discuss pricing options and after our call I send a more in-depth depth guide covering what we talked about. If you decide to move forward, booking is the next step! i send you and your partner a contract, 25% retainer to save your date, & that’s it! you’re booked! For family sessions, once we chat about dates/pricing, I just require $100 deposit to book your session, with the balance due one week before the session.
What should I wear to my session?
How will I receive my photos?
Photos are delivered through your very own online, private gallery and easy to download from there! You have access to your online gallery for one year from your session/wedding. It’s the easiest way to share with family and friends and order prints/gifts. Wedding clients receive a custom wooden print box and USB in addition to the online gallery.
My suggestion is to wear your favorite outfit(s). Usually your favorite outfit is something you look and feel great in. Try to avoid bold colors and large flowers/patterns that might be distracting and draw attention away from you. I recommend earth tones, denim etc. that compliments the locations I typically shoot in. Feel free to bring as many options as you want and we can go through them throughout your shoot!
Can you make me look skinnier?
Do you have any wedding vendor recommendations?
First of all, hi, I love you just the way you are. I understand why I receive this question so often, and I have been here before myself. I don’t claim to be a photoshop expert and I won’t do anything to alter your body or make you appear diffferent than you are. I will however, photograph you in the most flattering way possible and make you feel beautiful just the way you are. I promise.

Do you backup your work?
Where are you located?
Yes! After every session and wedding, I back up all your photos to 2 external hard drives, and also keep them on my memory card until they are delivered safely to you. I always keep a copy of your edited files on hand in case you lose them, & I hang on to your online gallery for one year after your session date, although I encourage you to save your entire gallery when you receive it! For wedding packages, I include a usb as well as an online gallery, so I got you covered. For regular sessions, usb’s are available for purchase.
I'm in Bend, Oregon but available for travel.
