Intimate couple's portrait session among pine trees at sunset.

my philosophy

My approach is simple: let the moment lead.

 

My favorite part is capturing exactly how you feel in this season. The closeness, the laughter, the quiet in-between moments. Because one day, that feeling is what you’ll want to remember.

 

The ordinary days are the ones you’ll miss the most.

Frequently asked questions

Are there travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?

Travel within 30 miles of Minier, Illinois is included in your session. For locations outside that range, a small travel fee may apply. If you have a specific spot in mind, just let me know and I’ll send over a clear quote ahead of time. No surprises.

Do you travel for photoshoots outside of Illinois?

Yes. While I’m based in Central Illinois, I’m always open to traveling for meaningful locations or special seasons of life. If you’re planning something outside the area, reach out and we’ll make it work.

Can I customize a photography package to fit all my needs?

Absolutely. While most couples choose the Signature Experience, additional time, outfit changes, or multiple locations can be added. My goal is to create something that fits your season, not force you into a box.

How long does it take to receive the final photos?

Your full gallery will be delivered within 2 to 3 weeks. I take the time to carefully edit each image so your photos feel cohesive, timeless, and true to the moment.
