Portrait Sessions

Portrait sessions for families, couples, and individuals take place outdoors in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida—often within state parks and natural areas—guided by light, movement, and presence rather than posing or performance.

Sessions are unhurried and responsive. I offer gentle guidance when helpful, then step back to allow space for real moments to unfold naturally.

All sessions include gentle direction, simple style and prep guidance, and a personal online gallery with full download access.

Optional additions include 35mm film and extended family sessions. Availability is limited each season.

Photographs made slowly, collaboratively, and with care.

  • This work is well suited for people who value presence over perfection— who want photographs that feel lived-in, honest, and reflective of real connection.

    If you’re drawn to natural light, movement, and images that feel more like memory than performance, we’ll work well together.

  • Session are slow-paced and collaborative. I’ll offer gentle guidance when helpful, then step back to allow space for what naturally unfolds.

    There is no pressure to perform or pose— just room to be yourself.

  • Portrait sessions for families and couples begin at $950 and include a slow-paced outdoor session and a curated collection of high-resolution digital images delivered via a personal online gallery. The final number of images varies depending on the session and what naturally unfolds.

    Individual portrait sessions are offered at a different rate, reflecting the smaller scope of the session.

    Extended family sessions—such as multi-generational gatherings or larger groups—are welcomed and offered by inquiry, with additional time and planning built in to keep the experience relaxed and unhurried.

  • I am based out of Santa Rosa Beach, FL, and most sessions take place outdoors in nearby natural settings. I regularly work within local state parks and preserved areas along the Emerald Coast—including locations in Santa Rosa Beach, Destin, and Panama City Beach—chosen for their light, openness, and sense of ease.

    Sessions typically take place starting an hour before sunset, when the most beautiful light is available to us.

    I’m also available to travel for sessions outside the area. This is offered on a limited basis and quoted separately.

  • All sessions are photographed digitally and include a full gallery of high-resolution digital images.

    35mm film is available as an optional add-on, photographed in color or black and white, and used selectively throughout the session. Film images are delivered alongside your digital gallery. Image counts cannot be guaranteed.

    Film add-ons are $200. Due to processing and scanning, film turnaround may be slightly longer than digital.

  • I believe photographs are meant to live beyond the screen—held, revisited, and woven into daily life.

    While printed work is not required, I do offer thoughtfully made prints and photo albums for those who want to carry the images forward in a tangible way.

    These options are available separately and shared after your session, once the images have had time to settle.

    I’ll respond with availability, next steps, and details needed to move forward. There is no pressure or obligation—just a conversation to see if it feels like a good fit. I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
