When you book with me, you're choosing to have your story told with intention
My approach to photography blends cinematic storytelling with a mix of candid and editorial photography. I prioritize beautiful light and locations, and I'm endlessly devoted to bringing out the emotion within an image.
My goal is to make you feel your best in front of the camera, capture the story behind the photo, and create images that look like stills from a film you're starring in.

a look into my brain
Heavily inspired by films!
I spend a lot of my time obsessing over shots in films and documentaries, paying attention to how the story is carried forward visually.
The lighting, the grade, the framing, the setting; all of it influences the scene's emotional resonance. I'm always looking at how I can bring those same considerations into my work!

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
01 - A CHAT TO START !
Getting to know each other
Once you send in an inquiry, I'll get back to you within 24–48 hours. I'll ask a series of questions to get to know you, and we'll talk about whether we'd be a good fit :)
I believe in friendship with the people I'm working with, especially when you're inviting me to document a meaningful part of your life. I want us to feel good about working together before you get in front of the camera!
02 - CUSTOMIZATION
Let's make this shoot perfect for you!
Once we decide to move forward, this is when we start having fun bringing the vision together!! We'll start with the overall feeling you're hoping to capture. I'd love to see any inspiration photos and a get a look at your Pinterest board, and I'll share my thoughts and excitement along the way :)
Because a good location can set the mood of an image completely (and every story deserves its perfect backdrop), I'll take my time seeking out the perfect place for your shoot. Luckily, I've got a solid list of beautiful local spots I'd be excited to share. The time of day can also significantly influence the mood of a shoot, so I'll help you figure out what time would be ideal for us.
As we approach the shoot date, I'll send over my outfit guides and give you a more tailored understanding of what to expect! The goal is for you to feel prepared, comfortable, and excited going into the experience.
I'm a sucker for a beautiful location, and I spend a lot of my time searching for hidden gems that I can bring people to for shoots. I'm slowly working on exploring more of Canada so I can build up this list across all the provinces, but it's slow going :)
03 - THE SHOOT
The exciting part
It's the anticipated day! You might be feeling super excited and ready to rock and roll, or maybe you're a little nervous about being in front of the camera. You might even be feeling a bit of both! Whatever you're feeling, it's completely okay. If you're feeling apprehensive, please know that you don't need to show up knowing how to pose. That's what I'm here for!!
My documentary approach comes from a mix of directing and spontaneity. I'll often direct throughout an entire session to encourage natural moments, most of them involving movement and little interactions with the space around you, giving you the space to settle in and be yourself. My priority is to keep you comfortable and relaxed :)
I'll also incorporate a few more intentionally posed portraits into most galleries. I think the blend of the two makes for the most beautiful combination of images! Ultimately, I want you to feel like you can just show up, be yourself, and enjoy the experience without having to worry about what to do or how to look. I've got you!
04 - THE GALLERY DELIVERY
Delivered to you with (a lot of) care
I put a lot of careful consideration into every single image I deliver. Trust me, each photo in your gallery has been given my attention and time!
Cropping in on certain moments, framing a photo a certain way, and how grading makes a massive difference to the final result. Many of my images have a soft grain to them for a timeless effect that often gets me questions about whether they were shot on film.
When your gallery arrives (within 2-4 weeks depending on your pacakge), I want you to see more than a collection of pretty pictures. I want to deliver a body of work that feels like you, captures the story behind the moments, and brings you right back to how it felt to be there.
