I’m Here to Help!

Planning a fun adventure session is pretty chill, but still does take some coordination to plan out what to do, permits, lighting, time of day, & avoiding the crowds

Location Scouting included with every photography session.

Location Scouting

Location scouting is one of the most important parts of planning out your adventure session. I can help you plan out the best locations based on what you are looking for, help with permits, coordinate the best spots & times of day based on tourists, & help you find amazing locations that are lesser known.

My photography style is bold, colorful, & natural. Think of it as a mix of National Geographic + non-traditional, colorful film photography. Different locations, different weather, & different lighting situations will all influence how the tones & colors of the photos will turn out. I have experience in all sorts of locations, weather, lighting conditions, & landscapes & can help you plan everything out so your photos turn out amazing!
