The Portrait & The Story
Choose your own adventure.
Two sessions for families, couples, expecting parents, and the first weeks at home. A great portrait holds a moment. A great story documents a day. The Picture Book is for the family that wants something timeless and wall-worthy. The Side Quest is for the family that wants a sunset walk to get ice cream turned into something they'll still feel twenty years from now. Two sessions, two different adventures.

The Picture Book
Sunlit and unhurried, with just enough guidance to let everyone be themselves.
I'll give you things to do. Walk this way. Spin your little one. Pull each other in close. The prompts are the scaffolding. What lands on your wall is what happens between them. When your toddler, wide-eyed and full of snot, hugs your leg like you're their favorite person in the world. When your son's snort makes the whole family laugh even harder. You know, the good stuff.
Remember this session isn't just for above the couch. It's for grandma's fridge. It's for letters to loved ones far away. It's for the memory of what it was like to be part of your family that day.
Before the day, I'll send over my Picture Book Family Guide with style and location guidance to help everyone feel ready and look their best, and when the photos arrive, you'll have a private gallery and exclusive print shop access to bring them home.

The Side Quest
An adventure together, built around a day worth remembering.
We plan the adventure first. A slow morning at home, an afternoon at the tide pools, a walk to the ice cream shop, a drive to wherever the light is good. The shape of the day is something we build together.
Then we go live it. I'll direct here and there, pull you in for a few heartfelt portraits when the moment is right, and step back the rest of the time so what happens between you can actually happen. The way your toddler hands you a rock like it's the greatest gift in the world, and you act like it is. The way your partner laughs at the same joke every single time.
What you'll come away with is a story. Real moments and heartfelt portraits, woven together. Proof that this part of your life happened, exactly the way it happened.
Here's the best part. I'll send over my Side Quest Family Workbook to help us craft a worthy adventure, plus personalized style guidance and location planning. Bring the whole family in on it. Crafting this is half the fun.

The Portrait & The Origin
Senior year, made permanent.
A great portrait holds a moment. An origin story carries the whole picture. The Main Character is the focused portrait, built around one person, one place, two looks. The picture that ends up on the wall. The Origin Story is the wider lens, built around three visual chapters across three locations. The full sense of who you are right now. Two sessions, two different stories.
Classic Portrait Session
The Main Character
One person. One place. Entirely you.
This isn't just a portrait. It's the picture that will greet you when you come home from school to visit, hanging on the wall. It'll be your dating profile freshman year, until you decide to grow that questionable mustache. It'll be the image you pull off a dusty hard drive to reminisce over one night in the distant future when you can't sleep.
You pick the place. You bring two outfits. I'll find the light, give you a little direction, and stay out of the way of the rest. A few looks that are intentional and posed, and a few that catch you between the prompts when you forget I'm there. Quiet, focused, made on purpose.
Before the day, I'll send over my Main Character Senior Guide with style direction and location guidance to help you walk in feeling like the best version of yourself. A private gallery and exclusive print shop access when the photos arrive.

Senior Portrait Session
The Origin Story
Three chapters, one senior, the whole picture.
Nobody is just one thing. You're the kid who doodles in the margins when you're supposed to be taking notes. You're the one who quietly slips a 100% quiz into your notebook and then sincerely congratulates the friend who got a B. You're the one everyone asks for style advice, too embarrassed to admit you found it all on TikTok.
The Origin Story is built around three visual chapters that, together, paint the full picture of who you are right now. Polished and put-together in one. Loose and easy in another. Wherever your real life happens in the third. Bring the things that show up everywhere you do, the jacket, the camera, the headphones, the lucky pen.
By the end of the gallery, someone who's never met you should know exactly who you are.
Before the day, I'll send over my Origin Story Senior Workbook with style direction and location planning to help you build your three chapters and feel like yourself in every one. A private gallery and exclusive print shop access when the photos arrive.
