PLAN
Send me a message through the inquiry page on my site. There's no commitment to this & open ups the line of communication so I can answer any questions you may have! A session is not reserved until the retainer is paid.
Once you have reserved your date, we will discuss the creative direction for your shoot. I will help you pick out a location and color scheme for your wardrobe. You can contact me anytime as we collaborate on styling and making your vision come to life!
Photoshoot day! This is kind of a big deal. I will meet you out on the beach or at the entrance of our chosen location. Feel the wind blow through your hair while you're surrounded with the smiles & laughs of those you love most. We'll run, play, splash, and capture authentic, joyful memories!
Within 4 weeks of your session date, you will receive your online gallery full of beautiful photos of all kinds! The gallery site will walk you through how to download the images and order prints. Of course, I'm always here to help with that too!
We're in!

EXPERIENCE-LED SESSIONS
Experience-led sessions are designed for people who want photos that feel genuine. Instead of standing still and posing for the whole session, you’ll spend your time doing something you enjoy, while I prompt and pause you along the way. Whether it’s a picnic, painting, skateboarding, or simply exploring the beach, the focus is on creating real memories and having me there to capture them. The result is a gallery full of natural interactions, candid expressions, and meaningful memories.

Is there a specific beach area that you tend to use for your photo shoots, or would you be able to come to where we are staying at our condo on the beach?
I was born and raised right across the bridge on the mainland, in a little town called Laguna Vista. After moving to Austin, TX for college, I came back and recently bought a house in the very same neighborhood I grew up in! Having worked and played on the island for most of my life, I certainly know the area as well as my own hometown.

Is there a specific beach area that you tend to use for your photo shoots, or would you be able to come to where we are staying at our condo on the beach?
OF COURSE. While I absolutely love the beach, I also excitedly welcome a change of scenery now and again! I am always so inspired by a new venue or destination. Recent work has taken me into the bustling cities of Texas, atop the tall mountains of Colorado, and into the green & mossy forests of Oregon.

If rain is in the forecast, I have options to reschedule. However, this means you must meet me half-way and keep your schedule flexible as well! If it ends up raining the entire visit, I will refund your retainer.

For portrait sessions, I cull through all of the photos and choose any great images based on variety, clarity, and sincerity. From all of the photos presented in your initial gallery, you will pick your favorite 20 or 40 (depending on your portrait package) and have the option to purchase more photos.

I have a few favorite spots on the island, or I am happy to meet you out on the beach closest to where you are staying! It’s really whatever works best for you.

Creatiing memories with
experience-led portraiture
Experience-led sessions are designed to feel more like a fun hangout than a formal photoshoot. We’ll build your session around something you enjoy doing together — looking for seashells, splashing in the pool, eating pizza, surfing — whatever feels fun to you!
The best photos happen when you’re busy having fun. The giggles, the inside jokes, the twirls, the bear hugs — that’s the good stuff. That’s what we capture.
Perfect for families with energetic kids and adventurous couples who’d rather move than pose!
