I believe the best photos come from moments that feel like you.
No stiff poses, no forced smiles, just ease, connection, and the kind of quiet magic that happens when you let go of “perfect” and lean into real.
Our time together is less about performing for the camera and more about being present. Laughing. Pausing. Letting your story unfold in whatever way it naturally wants to.
I’ll guide you gently when needed, but mostly, I’ll watch and listen. I’m here to notice the way your child tucks into your shoulder, the way light catches your hair, the way love looks when no one’s trying too hard.
EXPERIENCE
( see featured work )
( HEART )FUL
"I can step into a moment of complete chaos, kids running free, parents feeling a little overwhelmed and stay steady. In the middle of it all, I see the calm, I see the beauty, and I capture the truth of it in a way that feels meaningful, not messy."
( I'd Love you to know )
I’ll hand select the images that tell your story best! The ones filled with feeling, movement, and memory. Your final gallery will be full of heart, with images that feel like home.
after:
Our time together will feel relaxed and unhurried. I’ll guide gently, but I’ll never ask you to pose in ways that don’t feel natural. We’ll follow the light, embrace the in-betweens, and make space for the real stuff to surface...quiet, playful, imperfect, and true.
during:
When you’re ready to move forward, we’ll lock in your session date with a signed agreement and a deposit. This makes sure your spot is reserved on my calendar and gives us both something to look forward to.
booking:
It all starts with connection. Once you reach out, I’ll send over a short questionnaire to get to know you better. Who you are, what you love, and what matters most to you right now. From there, we’ll plan a session that feels true to you—whether that’s at home, in a favorite spot, or somewhere that simply feels right. I’ll also help with outfit guidance if you’d like. Easy, stress-free suggestions to help you feel like yourself and photograph beautifully.

"So many perfect little moments!!! You're a magician with the camera.
Seriously, I can't believe it. I've been so self conscious and struggling with body dysmorphia since being pregnant and these are so healing to look at. I owe you a million thank yous!"

"AL, is absolutely AMAZING!
I dread family photos but she made my entire family (my husband, 2 year old, 4 year old pup and I) feel so comfortable and made it the session FUN! Her photos are just beautiful and I am going to cherish them forever."
"Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still."
For the ones who see magic in imperfection
If you value meaning over polish, feeling over perfection, and believe photographs should hold something true, I’d be honored to help you tell your story. My work is about creating images that are real, heartfelt, and deeply connected to the moments they capture. Photographs you can return to for years and still feel the heartbeat of the day they were made.
lived-in moments that last a lifetime

HOW MANY IMAGES DO YOU INCLUDE?
The number of images included in your final gallery depends on the package you choose, tailored to suit your preferences. I provide two distinct package options for my clients to select from
Your final images will be delivered through an online gallery, ready for you approximately three weeks after our session date.
HOW AND WHEN DO WE RECEIVE OUR PHOTOS?
I don't set a specific number for black and white versus color images in my delivery. It's typically determined by my artistic judgment. Before our session, I send out a questionnaire for clients to express their preferences regarding black and white images. I take these preferences into consideration during the editing process.
HOW MANY BLACK AND WHITE VS COLOUR IMAGES DO YOU DELIVER?
After post-processing, the final images will be delivered in JPG format. You can easily access and download these high-resolution images from your online gallery.
what kind of files do you deliver?
For maternity sessions, I typically recommend scheduling between 28 to 34 weeks. Regarding sessions for your little one, two weeks after birth is generally a good timeline. However, for first-time parents, allowing three weeks might be preferable to establish a new routine and start feeling more comfortable and like yourself again.
When do you recommend booking
To secure your booking, a 50% deposit is required, with the remaining balance due on the session date.
HOW DO PAYMENT SCHEDULES WORK?
In the event that travel or the shoot is deemed unsafe due to weather conditions, we will reschedule your session for a mutually convenient time. If weather conditions prevent the session from taking place, there won't be a rescheduling fee for changing the date.
WHAT IF THERE’S BAD WEATHER?
My aim is to provide guidance while also stepping back to capture you in your natural element, especially interacting with your loved ones. I'll offer suggestions to encourage fun and movement, ensuring a comfortable atmosphere without any awkwardness. My goal is for clients to approach our session as a hangout together, rather than a posed photoshoot, allowing for candid, genuine moments to shine.
Will you pose us?
If you're seeking extensive photoshopping, our approach might not align. I do engage in light editing and minimal skin correction for little ones when necessary. I prefer to capture the most honest, natural, beautiful YOU!
WILL YOU PHOTOSHOP US?
In the event of a complete cancellation of the photo shoot, the initial deposit is non-refundable. Additionally, any incurred studio fees will be the responsibility of the client. For rescheduling during peak seasons (April-November), clients will need to submit the initial deposit again to secure a new date.
WHAT IF WE NEED TO CANCEL or RESCHEDULE OUR SHOOT?
You can expect to receive your final gallery within 3 weeks from our session date. I do my best to provide my clients with a sneak peak 7-10 days post session to hold you over.
what is the turnaround time?
To schedule a session, please send me an email to initiate the booking process. We'll select a date, location, and discuss the timeline. Following that, I'll send over a contract via email. Once the contract is signed and the initial deposit is submitted, your booking will be confirmed! Once booked, we'll work together to organize every detail and kickstart the planning process.
