"I highly recommend having a photo session with River.

River was so easy and lovely to work with. My son and I had such a wonderful time on the playground while River captured incredible memories. Thank you again."

Frequently Asked Questions

01

How far in advance should we book our session?

The sooner you can reach out with a date in mind, the better! For events, elopements, and weddings, most people book a few months to up to a year in advance.
For portrait sessions, a weeks to a couple of months ahead is usually enough.
If you're planning to use photos to send holiday cards or engagement announcements, be sure to allow plenty of time for printing and mailing.

Contact me directly for a quote for your specific location, and keep an eye on my about page for. my upcoming travel locations (or better yet, sign up for my newsletter so you can hear about booking availability first!).

Once I've finished hand-editing your photos, I'll deliver them via a curated online gallery. The gallery is very user-friendly and I organize each session myself to make it easy for you to look through each moment. You can share it with friends and family, and even order prints directly through my professional print lab, straight from your gallery!

We don’t feel very confident in front of the camera, is that ok?

Absolutely! I've worked with all kinds of people, many of whom feel shy about having their photo taken. I do my best to create a relaxed and fun atmosphere so that you can enjoy your time with your loved ones and simply be yourselves. I provide posing cues as needed, and I always keep a lighthearted attitude throughout sessions.
