I like to focus on portraying genuine and authentic emotion through your photos while enhancing shadows and natural colors with a little bit of moodiness!
You tell me what you want the feel of your photos to be - romantic and elegant, cozy and comfy, or playful and casual and let me do the rest!
Expect a friend and someone who gets just as excited as you over your special moments in life. This deserves celebration!
Expect fun! Instead of poses, I like to capture the natural and candid moments between you and your loved one(s) so be up for anything - likely a little dance party and endless laughing!

WEDDINGS
packages and investment
For weddings, my goal is to deliver your gallery within 8-12 weeks following your wedding. All other sessions are 2-4 weeks from your session date. However, there are sometimes things outside of my control that can affect these dates, so they are not guaranteed delivery times. I also do my best to provide you with a few sneak peeks within a couple of days following your session :)
When can I expect my images?
For wedding inquiries, we will work up a contract reflecting all of the details of your wedding day. In order to secure your date, I require the signed contract and a 30% non-refundable retainer fee . For all other sessions, a 30% non-refundable retainer fee is required.
hOW DO i RESERVE MY SESSION?
Yup!! I probably love elopements the most because of how much I love to travel. Plus, small, intimate weddings are my jam. There's something so special about a small wedding ceremony in a location that is special and meaningful to you :)
Do you travel?
I sure do!! I am an adventurer and love exploring new places and cities. If you don't live in the Madison area, don't worry - I am 100% down to travel to you! 120 miles roundtrip are included in your session cost. Travel fees will be added for anything outside of that.
Do you cover elopements?
For weddings, it is very important to book as soon as possible to ensure you get your first choice photographer. I always suggest booking your wedding photographer at least 12-15 months in advance. For all other sessions, I recommend booking 1-2 months in advance. However, always inquire first to see if there is availability.
