Worth Your While
I have been shooting professionally for over 10 years now and am very proud of how I have grown in this industry. I take the experience of that time working in the field, as well as what I have invested in myself through trainings and workshops, and use it to consistently improve both the process of working with me and your final product. Each session booked with me includes: planning correspondence, tips for what to wear, location suggestions, my time shooting, editing, and an online album delivery. Wedding and elopement clients also have access to my wealth of knowledge of the best of Alaska's wedding industry vendors, from venues to florists to hair and makeup. I know how overwhelming it is to figure out all of these details, as well as balance budgets around them, so I am happy to work on payment plans with couples as well.
I also want to emphasize how important it is to me that you enjoy your time working with me. That is a huge priority for me, just as paramount as the product I deliver to you. My goal is to create an environment that encourages genuine feelings and a comfortable atmosphere where you can truly be yourselves.
Families
I try my best to cater these sessions to what suits your family best! We will work together in your home or choose a location that is beautiful but also allows for space to play and experience genuine joy with your kids.
Extended family sessions are +$150
30 Min: $350 1hr: $500
Couples
These sessions work great for couples who want to celebrate any milestone that is important to them! Whether thats being madly in love, recently engaged, traveling somewhere new or coming up on an anniversary.
1hr: $650 2hr: $1100
Weddings
This is definitely not a "one size fits all" approach. Each and every wedding or elopement is unique to the couple who are planning it. I start with an hourly rate and then we build a timeline/package together that best fits your budget and vision.

FAQ
Do you shoot destination weddings?
YES! I have been privileged to shoot in Mexico, Scotland, Germany, and many lower 48 states, including Tennessee, Georgia, Kansas, and Wisconsin. I work hard to make the travel budget work with my couples because I understand how special it is to be invited along for such an adventure.
Do I have to pay extra for rights to download/print my photos?
No, you do not! While I will recommend going through high quality print services, rights to downloading, printing and posting your photos are included in the rate you pay with me. I deliver your sessions as online albums via email, and weddings include a USB drive.
What kind of gear do you use?
I shoot on a Nikond850 primarly, switching between my 2.8 24-70mm and 1.4 50mm most often. I've got backup camera bodies and lenses as well, and I am always prepared for what technological difficulties may occur.
I edit on Mac computers, and use both Lightroom/Photoshop to achieve my editing style.
Can I extend the session on the day of?
Absolutely! If we're having a great time and you want to keep the good times rolling, I am always willing to extend our shoot given my availability. I am also very flexible with scheduling/pricing for "after sessions" if we experience any serious inclement weather during your shoot... it IS Alaska after all!
