• One person in texture (knit, linen) + the other in a solid always works beautifully.
SHOES
• Neutral, simple footwear is best or barefoot for beach/grass sessions.
BRING ALONG (OPTIONAL)
• A cozy jacket or sweater
• A blanket
• A simple accessory that feels true to you
 
 
 
The Oregon Coast and the woods around Astoria offer endless textures.
Each session is customized around light and landscape.
I’ll help you choose your location based on your session type, time of year, and what feels true to your story.
You don’t need to rehearse. You just need to be present.
Come as you are — a little messy, a little late, fully human.
Here’s what matters most:
I’ll guide you through gentle prompts and help everything feel natural. My sessions flow like conversation — a mix of direction and stillness, laughter and calm.
What if it rains?
We’ll embrace it if it’s light drizzle — the coast has its charm. For heavier weather, I’ll reschedule to the next best available date.
What time of day do sessions happen?
Typically during golden hour (sunrise or sunset). The softest light, the calmest air, and the best reflections happen then.
Can we bring our dog?
Always yes. Bring treats!
How long until we receive our photos?
Full galleries are delivered within 3–4 weeks. Sneak peeks come within a week.
Take a deep breath — the best photos come when you stop worrying about the outcome and simply enjoy the moment.
All I ask is that you bring yourself, your people, and a little trust.
The rest will unfold naturally.
