Honesty + Heart at the Center of My Work

A little story time…

Throughout my photography journey, I’ve always struggled with pricing. Photographers put in far more time than many people realize, between travel, planning, editing, and the emotional energy that goes into creating something meaningful. But I never entered this field for the financial reward. I started photography to be creative, to bring joy, and to give people memories that will last long after we’re gone.

What I’m about to say is considered “taboo” in the photography world, but it’s where my heart is:

I never want a family to feel like they have to go without, take out a loan, or borrow money just to have photos taken- whether it’s family portraits, newborn sessions, or even a wedding.

This is why I’ve chosen to run my business entirely on a donation-based model.

This will allow anyone who feels led to contribute, whether to support families in need, help cover wedding photography for a loved one, or simply give back because they believe in this mission.

My pricing page won’t look like typical photography websites, and that’s intentional. When you look for a wedding photographer, you’ll still find standard industry rates to gather an idea of what this industry charges, I suggest you shop around, but we still need to make sure we’re the right fit for each other.

I also want to be transparent: I know when my kindness is being taken advantage of, and I’m not afraid to say no when needed to protect my peace and my family time to which those are things I can never get back.

But I truly believe God has a plan for this model. This shift comes from wanting to bring genuine love, light, and honesty into the world of photography. I want people to enjoy their moments, whatever the occasion.

I am here to give memories, without the burden.
