Light and dreamy love  Story's  

misty Waterfalls, Golden Fields,  and the oregon Coast, Available for early fall 2026

Welcome to my creative corner of the internet. I am a pacific northwest couples and elopement photographer with a deep love for fairytale light, untamed landscapes, and authentic unscripted love stories.


My journey into photography started because i am a hopeless romantic who is completely captivated by beautiful light. i'm the person who will pull the car over on the side of the highway just to look at how the sun hits a field of golden grass, or to catch a soft pastel rainbow arching over powell butte.


When you work with me, you aren't just hiring someone to press a shutter button. You are getting an adventure partner who will scout the perfect misty trail, help you coordinate your outfits, and keep you laughing the entire time. i want to capture the quiet, gentle glances just as much as the big, cinematic moments.


A Few Of My Favorite THings:

  • The Golden Hour: That magical, buttery light right before the sun dips below the horizon
  • PNW Adventures: Hiking through lush fern-filled forests and exploring the rugged Oregon Coast
  • Daily Joys: A perfectly brewed iced latte, curation of dreamy, airy mood boards, and chasing rainbows

Frequently Asked Questions

This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?

I hear this from a lot of couples I photograph, and I promise you have nothing to worry about. My style is completely centered around movement and connection, rather than unnatural posing. I will guide you with fun prompts, gentle direction, and light hearted actions, that bring out genuine laughs, and soft quiet moments of connection.

Are the travel expenses included in your packages?

As of this time I don't provide travel expenses in the packages

How long does it take to get our photos and how will they be delivered?

Your fully edited high-resolution digital gallery will be delivered by email through Pictime. You will receive a private link where you can easily download and share your images, and order prints.

Can you recommend any good locations?

Location scouting is one of my favorite parts of the creative process. Once you book your session, we will chat about the specific vibe you want. Whether that is fairytale golden hour, a local park, a misty waterfall adventure, or a beautiful spot on the oregon coast or gorge. I have a curated list of stunning hidden gems throughout Oregon to share with you.

What happens if it rains the day of our shoot?

As a Pacific Northwest photographer I embrace the elements. Soft overcast skies actually create the most beautiful flattering light for romantic portraits, however if we are facing heavy downpours, we will absolutely look at resceduling to a better date, or pivoting locations to a place that is covered to keep you comfortable.

Do you offer styling help?

Absolutely, once your date is locked in I will send over my comprehensive wardrobe and styling guide. I am also more than happy to review your outfit ideas over email or text to help choose the fabrics and soft tones that will look most ethereal and beautiful in your final gallery.
