An engagement session should feel less like a photoshoot and more like spending an evening together.
We'll wander, laugh, talk, explore, and leave room for the unexpected moments that often become the favorites.
I'll guide you when you need it, but I'll never ask you to become someone you're not. The best photographs happen when you're simply present with each other.
This is your chance to slow down, step away from wedding planning for a little while, and celebrate the season you're in right now.

What's Included
What It Feels Like
If you're worried about being "awkward in front of the camera," you're exactly who these sessions are for.
You don't need to know how to pose.
You don't need to practice.
You don't need to be photogenic.
I'll gently guide you when you need it, but most of the session is simply creating space for real moments to happen naturally.
Some couples spend the entire session laughing.
Some are quiet.
Some dance, explore, or simply hold each other while the sun goes down.
Every session looks different because every relationship is different.
No rushing from one location to the next. We take our time so you can relax into the experience.

The location should feel like an extension of your story.
Whether that's the desert landscapes of Joshua Tree, the architecture of Palm Springs, the mountains, the beach, or somewhere that's meaningful to the two of you, we'll choose a place that feels authentic—not just beautiful.
I’m always happy to help narrow down locations based on the season, lighting, and the overall feeling you're hoping to create.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Almost every couple tells me this before their session. My approach is built around helping you feel comfortable rather than asking you to perform.
01.
We feel awkward in front of the camera. Is that okay?
Yes! If your chosen location allows pets, I'd love to include them.
02.
Can we bring our dog?
Choose outfits that feel timeless, comfortable, and true to your personal style. The goal is for these photographs to still feel like you decades from now.
03.
What should we wear?
04.
Do you travel?
Always. While I'm based in Southern California, I photograph engagement sessions throughout California and beyond.
Let's Preserve This Chapter
One day, your wedding photographs will remind you of one incredible day.
These photographs will remind you of everything that came before it.
The anticipation.
The excitement.
The ordinary moments that quietly became some of the most meaningful.
I'd be honored to document this season for you.
I believe the most meaningful photographs are the ones that feel lived in — the in-between moments, the energy of the people around you, and the emotion woven through the day as it naturally unfolds.
My approach is a balance of honest documentation and refined direction, creating imagery that feels effortless, intentional, and timeless.
