FIVE FUN FACTS

No matter where I live, my home is always full of plants and books

Our puppy Juniper is our whole entire world

I was a live music photographer + have photographed >100 major artists, including Snoop Dogg, Beck, and Modest Mouse

If I could exist on a diet of burritos, I probably would

My heart was meant to wander; the road is my happy place

Our Approach:

We have a deep passion for real moments and the fine art portraiture that results from this kind of photography.

Authenticity is always at the center of our work - whether we’re capturing a wedding, newborn photos, or a new suite of brand images for your small business. Our approach is both photojournalistic and editorial, with a true-to-life editing style.

We specialize in capturing the most important moments of your life in ways that will leave you feeling warm and fuzzy for years to come. There is no commitment we take more seriously, and nothing more worthy of your investment.

We promise:

  • Bold, dreamy photographs you’ll cherish for a lifetime

  • An experience that will leave you wanting more

  • Ease and comfortability in front of the camera

  • Rapid, responsive turnaround and client revisions (24-hr turnaround avail. on request!)

  • High-end retouching & color correction that result in stunning, timeless photographs

  • The flexibility and experience to meet and exceed all of your needs (and then some)

 
 

BLACK LIVES MATTER.

As a Queer-owned business, advocating for LGTBQIA+ love is a core part of who we are, but our priority is also supporting Black, Indigenous, + POC’s lives and businesses.

We can’t be inclusive if we aren’t intersectional 🌈

we are fully committed to being an anti-racist, Pro-LGBTQIA2s+ business and creating an inclusive community. HERE ARE THE STEPS WE ARE TAKING:

(Updated February 4, 2025)

  • Building and actively maintaining a fully inclusive list of Wedding Professionals to share with our clients, of which at least 50% of the vendors listed are Queer and/or BIPOC-owned businesses.

  • Active and consistent use of our social media accounts to raise awareness and educate others on issues of systemic racism and transphobia, police brutality, and white supremacy, and making it a priority to create and post content that supports and celebrates LGBTQ and BIPOC lives.

  • Routinely engaging in anti-racist education, with a dedicated focus on the field of photography as well as on the wedding industry. The core of our research will center around the stories and voices of BIPOC; they are integral as a result of the proliferation of white supremacy in these fields and industries.

  • Dedicating 10% of our budget to working with the LGBTQIA2s+ community, BIPOC community and small businesses

  • Donating a percentage of our annual net profit to organizations effectively working to serve BIPOC and Trans communities, such as the Equal Justice Initiative or Black and Pink, or by directly donating to the families of victims of police brutality or to folx in our community who are in need of mutual aid.

  • We are open and responsive to feedback and critical conversation in regards to our company and the commitment we’ve made to being an anti-racist business as we’ve taken The Anti-Racist Small Business Pledge, which includes regular accountability check-ins (read the full pledge here).

OUR infectious communicable disease POLICIES & PROCEDURES

(Updated February 5, 2025)

We are doing the following enhanced procedures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other infectious communicable diseases:

• Our team is fully vaccinated and as of November 2021.

• Our policy has always been that if we are sick, we send an associate to work in our stead. This policy remains steadfast. If an employee becomes sick while at work, they are immediately sent home and we follow CDC guidelines for cleaning and disinfecting the areas the sick employee visited.

• In order to minimize face to face contact between employees and our clients, most in-person meetings have been moved to phone or video conference.

• We maintain compliance with all federal and state travel guidelines in place.

We ask all of our clients to agree to the following prior to each session:

• I understand the above symptoms and affirm that I, as well as all household members, do not currently have, nor have experienced the symptoms listed above within the last 14 days.

• I affirm that I, as well as all household members, have not been diagnosed with COVID-19 or an infectious communicable disease within the past 14 days.

• I affirm that I, as well as all household members, have not knowingly been exposed to anyone diagnosed with COVID-19 an infectious communicable disease within the past 14 days.

• I affirm that I, as well as all household members, have not traveled to any country, city or town considered to be a “hot spot” for COVID-19 infections within the past 30-days. If I have traveled to a hot spot, I certify that I have either quarantined for 14 days after returning, or have tested negative for COVID-19 within 72 hours of returning.
