Portland Lifestyle and Brand Photographer

Cinematic, story-driven imagery for brands who want their visuals to reflect the depth of their work.

Brand Imagery, Slow by Design.

You don’t need perfect photos.
You need images that feel like you — natural, thoughtful, and quietly powerful.

Before a word is spoken, your visuals are already communicating. My work begins by clarifying what those visuals should say, then shaping imagery that reflects your values and connects with the people you want to reach.

This isn’t about showing up and hoping for the best.
All brand photography I offer includes creative direction and planning — a collaborative process that ensures the work is cohesive, intentional, and actually useful.

You don’t need to perform or pose like someone else.
Just show up as you are. I’ll guide the rest.

Let's Connect

"I just love love love your style, work and attitude. Truly so happy. I felt like you are able to engage with your participants in meaningful ways and help them feel more comfortable about being vulnerable on camera." — Sheena, Google

I want to see you succeed.

Because I've been where you are: building a business brick by brick, hoping people see the heart behind it all. I know the stakes. I know how personal this feels. I truly get it.

My work is grounded in emotional intelligence, a deep love of light and authentic moments.

I am influenced by Japanese architecture, the refined aesthetic of Mara Hoffman and Kelly Wearstler, and Sofia Coppola's cinematic storytelling—my work is grounded, sophisticated, and deeply human. Without pretense.

My work blends:

– Editorial elegance with grounded honesty

– Clean lines with a little magic around the edges

– Strategy with soul

If your brand cares about depth, story, and beautiful design — we'll get along just fine.

No Pressure. Let's Chat.

My clients include TOAST, Antica Terra, Museo Studios, Google, Sellwood Yoga, Oil Maiden, Fine Art Fruit, Nested Yellow and other brands doing purposeful work.

What to Expect

Working with me is collaborative, calm, and (dare I say?) kind of fun. I believe in thoughtful preparation, creative intuition, and giving you space to feel like yourself — no forced poses, no weird pressure.

Here’s how it works:

1. The Intro Call

We’ll start with a relaxed chat to discuss your needs, share ideas, and see if we’re a good fit. I’ll send over a custom estimate after we talk.

2. Strategy + Visioning
Once booked, we'll dive deeper: What story are you telling? What's your brand's vibe? Who's your audience—and what should they feel when they see your images? We'll create a shared vision board as our creative compass.

3. Shoot Prep
We’ll plan every detail: location, time of day, props, styling. You’ll feel supported, not overwhelmed. (Promise.)

4. Shoot Day
You don't need to know how to pose. (If you are being photographed). I'll guide you gently so you feel grounded, comfortable, and seen. The experience is relaxed and (surprisingly often) fun.

5. Delivery + Beyond
I'll select and edit your images to create a cohesive gallery that feels elevated, artful, and distinctly you. You'll receive everything beautifully organized and ready to use across all platforms. Need guidance on how to apply them? I'm here for that too.

This isn't just content—it's a reflection of your brand's spirit.

What You Won’t Get

– Stiff, overly posed photos
– Generic stock-style imagery
– Endless prep with zero direction
– A photographer who disappears once the shoot’s over

What you will get? Thoughtful collaboration, gentle guidance, and imagery that feels true to your brand.

Investment

Brand photography with me begins long before the camera comes out.
Most of our time is spent clarifying — through thoughtful, in-depth conversations — what your brand wants to express and how it should feel.

Many of the small business owners I work with arrive knowing something needs to shift visually, but not yet having the language for it. Together, we shape that language and translate it into imagery that feels coherent, intentional, and true to the work you’re building.

This process includes multiple branding and creative direction calls, a collaborative visual framework, and a guided shoot designed around your goals — whether that’s a focused two-hour session or a half or full day of shooting (which can be split across days).

How projects are typically structured

Brand Direction + Photography (Core Experience)
– Multiple in-depth branding and creative direction calls
– Clarifying visual goals, mood, and usage
– A minimum two-hour guided shoot
– Curated, high-resolution imagery for web and social

👉 Most clients invest around $2,000–$3,000

Expanded Brand Direction (Half or Full Day)
For brands that need more space — multiple locations, deeper storytelling, or content that can support a launch or season.
– Half-day or full-day shoot (can be split across days)
– Extended creative direction and planning
– Larger, more narrative-driven galleries

👉 Quoted based on scope

Smaller editorial projects may begin at $1,400. Multi-day shoots, retainers, and ongoing partnerships are custom-quoted.
