For weddings, as soon as you have a date locked down. I typically book photo sessions 1-3 months in advance and weddings 6-18 months in advance. Summer weekend dates book up quickest. 

3 weeks for photo sessions
4 weeks for wedding photo galleries
6 weeks for super 8 video

Once your photos are finished, I will send you the link to a private, online gallery from which you can download your photos. If we shot any polaroids, I’ll take them home with me to scan then I’ll email the digitals & snail mail the physical copies.

Natural, nostalgic, + fun

The prompting/posing of clients is an art in itself! I would describe my shooting style as a middle ground between posed and candid. I do typically pose the folks in front of my camera but because I like my photos to feel natural (and more than anything, I want my clients to feel comfortable) I keep things as non-structured as possible and try to base my posing off your natural mannerisms.

My editing style is very minimal - one of my favourite things about film is how naturally rich the colours are! There’s typically no need for colour adjustments so any edits I make to film photos are things like cropping, lighting tweaks, or removing a distraction in the background, etc… 


My work is for film lovers, and those who appreciate all things analogue and nostalgic

However, I am happy to offer add-ons for a second shooter who can focus on digital. Please inquire with me for more information.


Most of my work is made with Kodak 35mm film

I also shoot with Polaroid 600 film

and various Kodak Super 8 films (video)

No. I’ll remove a blemish, bruise, or minor stain but do not offer any other retouching. I aim to photograph your natural form!

I do! Please inquire with me for more details about my print pricing + packages.


The things I own are precious to me not because they’re flawless, but because they collect more meaning the longer
we live together

the moments and people that are precious to you too

I can totally help you iron out the details: what’s the vibe? where will we shoot? are we bringing props? I always want to see the inspiration photos you’ve compiled  and the most successful sessions are those in which both myself and the client have a clear visual of the desired results.

comfort first!

shooting with me is a gentle process & your comfort is my priority. personally, I’ll do the absolute most to get the shot but I’ll never expect anything of you beyond sitting and looking pretty. I’ll guide you through the experience, posing you when I see fit yet leaving plenty of room for you to wander and roam. I promise you never look as awkward as you may feel.

worth the wait

it’s time to wait impatiently for your film (and trust me, it’s a tough wait on my end too.) once the developing, scanning, and editing is complete, typically within 4-6 weeks of our session, I’ll send over a link to your online gallery + mail over your polaroids.
