the ART of the STORY

Pictures are such a powerful way to document some of the most important moments in life. They become heirlooms that we pass down from generation to generation. My passion lies in creating photographs that document these moments in an authentic, artful and cinematic way.

01

PORTRAITS

Cue the music, pop a bottle, explore the city, run through a field; seriously, just relax and do your thing. I’ll provide some direction to help you get comfortable (no need to worry about what to do with your hands), but mostly we’ll just hang out and let the magic happen. 

02

INTIMATE WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS

You deserve photos that reflect your soul and celebrate you at your most alive, not just your most perfectly posed and put together. I'm constantly looking for a balance between a documentary feel and an editorial look. I won’t try to mold your day to fit a standard wedding template. Instead, I want to craft a narrative that is guided by the surroundings and let your day tell its own, artful story.

LIFESTYLE & BRANDS

Whether you're launching a new product, telling the story of your brand's journey, or showcasing the people behind your company, I want to help bring your vision to life. This session will provide a variety of images for social media platforms, website and marketing materials.
