Engagement sessions are a chance to make photos somewhere that actually feels connected to you. That might be around Seattle, on the coast, in the mountains, or somewhere you already spend time together.

I’ll help with location ideas, timing, light, and what to wear, then give you enough direction to keep things moving without making the session feel overly posed. The goal is a mix of natural moments and stronger portraits that still look like you.

These sessions work well for engagement photos, anniversary photos, save-the-dates, or simply documenting this part of your life together. You do not need to be comfortable in front of the camera before we start. That is part of my job.

My Approach

I believe engagement sessions should feel like an experience, not a photoshoot. My role is to create an environment where you can be yourselves — whether that’s laughing through the wind on a mountaintop or strolling hand-in-hand through your favorite Seattle neighborhood. I’ll offer gentle direction to make sure you look your best, but I’ll also step back so genuine moments can unfold naturally.

Every couple is different, and your session should reflect that. I take time to learn about your personalities, your style, and the places that matter to you. From adventurous hikes to hidden PNW overlooks, to a cozy café where you had your first date, I’ll help you choose the perfect location and timing so you can simply relax and enjoy the day.

The result? A gallery of candid, storytelling images and timeless portraits — photos that feel like you and tell your love story beautifully.
