What does “documentary-style photography” mean?

Documentary-style photography is about capturing authentic, candid moments as they unfold. Instead of interrupting you to ask for a smile, I focus on the real emotions, subtle interactions, and natural beauty of your story. Whether it’s a wedding day, family session, or engagement shoot, this approach ensures your photos feel genuine, timeless, and true to who you are.

How do I know if your style is right for me?

If you value emotion, connection, and genuine storytelling, my photography style is right for you. My clients usually say they want images that feel real—photographs that bring back memories, not just show how the day looked. If you’re drawn to natural, honest emotions, and an artistic documentary approach, you’re in the right place.

What should we wear for a family, couple, or engagement session?

Wardrobe plays a big role in how your photos feel. I recommend neutral or earthy tones that complement the environment and keep the focus on you. Avoid loud logos, neon colors, or overly busy patterns that can distract from the emotions in the images. Think comfortable, timeless, and true to your personality. If you’re unsure, I’ll send you a detailed style guide and help you plan outfits that look amazing on camera.

What if we feel awkward in front of the camera?

This is one of the biggest concerns clients share with me, and it’s completely normal. My job is to create a relaxed, comfortable environment where you can just be yourself. I’ll give gentle direction when needed, but most of the time I’ll simply encourage you to interact naturally with your partner, kids, or family. The result? Photographs that look effortless, natural, and true to your relationships.

What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate for our outdoor session?

Weather can be unpredictable. If it rains or conditions aren’t ideal, we’ll either embrace the moody atmosphere (which often makes for beautifully emotive images) or reschedule for a better day. For weddings, I always come prepared with backup gear, creative lighting solutions, and a positive attitude—so no matter the weather, your story will be beautifully captured.

Do you travel for sessions and weddings?

Absolutely! Whether it’s a mountaintop engagement session, a destination wedding, or a cozy in-home family session, I love photographing love stories in meaningful locations. Travel fees may apply depending on distance, but I’ll always work with you to make the process as easy and transparent as possible.

How do we book you and how far in advance?

Booking is simple. Either submit a contact form or visit the Investment page to book your session. To reserve your date, I require a signed contract and a non-refundable retainer. After that, your date is officially secured, and we can start planning your session or wedding photography experience together.

Weddings often book 9–18 months in advance, especially during peak season. For family, couple, or engagement sessions, I recommend booking at least 2–3 months ahead to secure your preferred date. My calendar fills quickly, so reaching out early is the best way to make sure I can be there to document your story.

Do you offer albums or prints?

Yes! While your digital gallery is perfect for sharing online, there’s nothing like holding your memories in your hands. I offer a range of heirloom-quality albums, wall art, and fine art prints that will last for generations. These pieces turn your images into tangible works of art that can be cherished and passed down.
