documentary photography
I love history. I think real, honest lives are more interesting than a perfect, expected snapshot. Show me where you spend your time! Your favourite spot to sit, the things you’ve collected, that important stuff cluttering your floors and counters, all the evidence that you’re alive. Mess is personal and beautiful and never boring. Who you are right now is fascinating because life will never be quite like this again. Let’s cherish it. Let’s remember it!

slow documentation
I believe in room to breathe.
We’ll spend four hours together, with one hour of photography woven throughout that time. Rather than constantly taking photos, I’ll move in and out of documentation in response to what’s unfolding—picking up my camera when it feels meaningful and putting it down when you need privacy, support, a transition, or simply a little time.
Your coverage isn’t confined to one designated hour or counted down on a clock. This slower rhythm gives us time to get comfortable with each other, helps me notice the moments that tell your story, and allows you to remain present in what you’re experiencing. It can be shaped around families, couples, intimate gatherings, life transitions, or any ordinary day you want to remember.
starting from $500
focused photos
One hour of photography in one location.
This is a focused, documentary-inspired session for folks who want beautiful, natural photographs within a clear one-hour window. I’ll offer more direction than I do during extended coverage, making space for meaningful candid moments while still making sure you also walk away with wonderful portraits.
Best for people who:
Want updated photographs without making a whole day of it
Are comfortable working within a firm start and end time
Don’t need additional transition, care, or settling-in time
Want a blend of natural moments and gentle direction
starting from $400

I absolutely LOVE working with film and do my best to make it accessible for my clients. I highly recommend adding film to outdoor sessions and for photos in homes with abundant natural light.

my portfolio
This portfolio is a collection of lived moments — layered, imperfect, and deeply human. It shows how I work with light, context, and connection to document experiences as they unfold, without forcing or warping them into something they’re not.
