Wherever you want to go, I’m so down. Engagement sessions are hands-down one of my favorite parts of this job. It’s a chance to dress up, cuddle close, make out a little (or a lot!), and capture some seriously stunning photos.
I especially love when couples bring their story into the shoot — whether it’s a meaningful location or a shared activity you love. That’s where the magic happens — turning your engagement session into something uniquely you.
Beaches, mountains, cities — and anywhere in between.
Not sure where to shoot? No worries. Once I get a feel for your vibe, I’ll help scout the perfect spot to match your vision.
Let’s go on an adventure — and make some memories while we’re at it.

EXTENDED
SESSION
$1050
Starting at
In a 2 hour extended session we are able to do two locations within 20-30 minutes of each other. This session also includes a lighting assistant for more advanced and editorial techniques. I will use advanced lighting to maintain the vibrant colors of the sky, create beautifully lit environmental portraits and those wowzer night shots!
what to wear:
My philosophy is that you want to feel like yourself when picking your outfits for your session. Feeling comfortable and confident is so important, and we want the photos to be about you, not what you are wearing. If you are a tank top and ripped jeans sort of person, now is not the time to pull out the ballgown. If you are a full on fashionista, let’s see that style! If you never wear hats, don’t think you need one just to be trendy. Ultimately you want to feel like you!
During our shoot, we will have time for two outfits. I recommend both of you bringing a few options. I will help you pick and choose what might work best. I am by no means an expert stylist, but I have found what typically photographs best.
I typically say having one casual, and one a bit more dressy is a good way to go. Dressy does not have to mean a suite and tie. A nice cardigan or blazer over a undershirt for the guys is a great way to dress up a second look without going to formal.
These are by no means rules, just what I have found photographs best!
Couples Sessions
MATCH YOUR ENVIRONMENT
Think about our location and the general vibe you are going for. If we are shooting somewhere with grand architecture, and you like more of a high fashion look, than a suit and cocktail dress are perfect! If we on a mountain top, then a big cozy sweater and a beanie is perfect!
ENVIROMENT
I typically recommend pastel or neutral colors. This doesn’t mean grey, beige and brown. What I mean by neutral is earth tones, such as mustard yellow, forest green, burnt orange, or sky blue. Mainly staying away from vibrant or fluorescent reds, oranges, and yellows. If you love red, it can certainly work, however it is the main thing that your eye will be drawn to in every photo, so keep that in mind. I recommend a burgundy over a bright red.
COLORS
You want to be able to move and feel comfortable in your outfit. Avoid tight short dresses as many poses don’t work as great in them. You also want to make sure your bra strap and girls are all in place. If you feel worried about re-positioning your outfit, you won’t be able to fully get into having fun! Incorporating fabrics that move is always a huge plus! When the wind blows or I have you twirl and dance, that dress flowing in the wind can be absolutely gorgeous!
MOVEMENT
I’m a huge fan of accessories. Hats, scarves, jackets, sunglasses, necklaces….They can be mixed and matched throughout the shoot to create interest and different looks. They can also always be removed if you’re not feeling it! Stay away from watches, they can be distracting if your hands are by your face.
Accessories
Props can bring so much to the session. Using props doesn’t necessarily mean all the things you see on Pinterest. Props can mean a boat, vintage car, beach cruiser, campfire, surfboard, your dog, really anything that creates a scene. They can add so much “vibe” to your session. A nice cozy blanket, guitar and bottle of wine can set the scene as well. It's never a bad idea for the two of you to have a glass before the session too!

My philosophy is that you want to feel like yourself when picking your outfits for your session. I typically recommend sticking to neutral colors, as they photograph beautifully in any location. Movement and texture is also a fun way to add a little something extra to your images.
