Leave No Trace Aware

A set of ethics focused on leaving the outdoors the same, if not better, than how we found it.


I love helping my families and others understand how to practice LNT when exploring and enjoying nature.


By practicing LNT and educating others, we can all contribute to keeping nature safe and preserving it for future generations.

LGBTQIA+ Friendly

Love is love, and all are welcome with open arms. I’m here to capture your story authentically and beautifully, just as you are. Your love, joy, and connection deserve to be cherished—and I’m honored to be part of that.

FILM PHOTOGRAPHY + SUPER 8 VIDEO

Film captures moments in a way that feels both nostalgic and authentic, with a softer, more organic feel.


For me, using film and Super 8 is about preserving the heart and soul of your family’s memories in an intimate and real way.


The result is a beautiful heirloom that you can cherish and pass down for generations.

I want to give a big thanks to Audrey for being so accommodating, understanding, patient, and friendly towards my family.

FAQs

How do you ensure my family's personality and dynamic shine through in the photos?

My goal is to capture your family in an authentic and natural way. Before the session, I’ll chat with you about your family’s story, interests, and the vibe you want to create. During the session, I encourage you to interact with each other—whether it’s sharing a laugh, playing together, or simply enjoying the moment. This helps me capture genuine expressions and connections that truly reflect who you are as a family.

Do you offer any guidance on location or outfit choices?

Yes, absolutely! I love helping families choose locations that not only match their vision but also reflect their unique personalities. Whether you're drawn to scenic outdoor settings or a more urban vibe, I'll suggest options that complement your family’s style. I also provide an outfit guide to help you coordinate looks that are both comfortable and visually appealing, ensuring everyone feels confident and looks great in the photos.

How do you handle different age groups, especially young children or large families?

Every family is different, and I adapt my approach based on the age groups and dynamics involved. For young children, I keep things fun and lighthearted—incorporating games, playful prompts, and breaks to keep them engaged. For larger families, I focus on capturing both group shots and individual moments, making sure no one is left out and that the session feels personal and relaxed for everyone. I’m patient and flexible, always adjusting to ensure that everyone is comfortable and enjoying the experience.

How do you incorporate natural elements into your photos to make them feel more authentic?

I love using natural elements to enhance the authenticity of the photos. Whether it’s the soft glow of the golden hour, the textures of nature, or the unique light of a location, I always look for ways to make the environment feel like a part of the story. I also encourage families to engage with their surroundings—like walking through tall grass or playing near water—to create an organic and relaxed feel to the images.
