HIGHLIGHTING
YOUR CHEMISTRY
Couples & ENGAGEMENT Portraits
Real Moments, Real Chemistry—Your Story, Unscripted
COUPLES
Capturing the magic between couples should feel like a date, not a photoshoot. Forget stiff poses and awkward smiles—it’s all about highlighting the goofy moments, heartfelt glances, and real laughter that showcase your personalities and the unique bond you share. Whether your session is to announce an engagement or simply celebrate your relationship, the best portraits happen when everyone feels comfortable enough to simply be themselves
having him as my photographer felt more like having a friend to calm me than just a person with a camera.

A LOOK INSIDE
THE PROCESS
Here's an overview of what you can expect working with me. I'm known for a personalized, collaborative approach to capture that genuine, authentic chemistry.
1. initial Questions
This is usually done with a quick phone call to go over your questions and see if we want to schedule a consultation.
Together, we'll chat about your experiences with past photography sessions, what your wanting, what will make your images unique, my pricing and artwork products.
2. the consultation
3. SESSION planning
If we're a great fit, we'll basically start planning a date that will allow you to focus on eachother, and give me the opportunity to capture those moments that highlight what makes you a couple. Hikes, axe throwing, or maybe just preparing dinner together.
4. the session
All those ideas we came up with during our planning come into play. I'll capture the moments that happen during the session and we'll get a few traditional portraits too.
5. the reveal
Once I get the images ready to review, we'll schedule a time for you to come in, see what we captured, pick out your favorites, and complete any design work and your order.
6. delivery & installation
Once your album, gift prints, matted fine art prints or cards are ready, they can be picked up at the studio or drop shipped. If you live within 50 miles of the studio, canvases are installed for you.
what makes ME different
I BELIEVE THAT AUTHENTICITY IS KEY
Great photos capture the way you look at each other, the big laughs, and even a little silliness so what you get are real memories, not just posed snapshots.
Sessions are laid-back, collaborative, and open to your suggestions, making every step fun and easy. After all, when you’re having a blast together, that joy and fun always shines through in every shot.

Frequently asked questions
HOW DO WE PLAN A SESSION?
Contact me and we'll have a quick chat to answer any initial questions. Then we'll schedule a time to meet in the studio and take a deep dive into your expectations, my process, and plan out a great session.
WHERE CAN WE GO?
We can go anywhere. And I do mean anywhere. I regularly travel to Seattle, Portland, Boise and Missoula for sessions. I also make my way to other states and countries. But if you're from the Coeur d'Alene area, and want to stay local, we can travel within 50 miles of my studio without any additional fees.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
Don't overthink it. Do what you enjoy doing together. Plan a hike to your favorite trail. Head down to a trampoline park. Or stay at home and cook dinner together and then relax on the couch in your comfie clothes. Whatever is going to be genuine and authentic is what we want.
WHAT DOES A SESSION COST?
Sessions are $200 per hour with most portrait session lasting one to two hours. Artwork is purchased separately. My average couple budgets about $1,200. Some spend as little as $600 and others spend more with albums, custom cards, canvases, prints, and digital images available for their display needs.
