editorial photos
you’re a ‘what-if’ person. you find yourself in stories; feel yourself in books, movies, songs, paintings. the best kind of world is full of magic and fantasy. routine is boring and without imagination, you might shrivel up like a flower in a drought. your brain is full of colors and sounds and feelings, and you need to say something about it. to differentiate yourself, communicate through your creativity. maybe you just like novel experiences, or want to step out of your comfort zone. perhaps you fell in love with a wildly flamboyant jacket and thought, ‘i’ll never have an occasion to wear this.’ maybe you’ve always dreamed of being on the cover of vogue. book this session if you have an artistic itch to scratch, or just need to look at the world upside down for a little while. whether you’re in need of a little escapism or just a creative outlet, let’s create something that’s unlike anything else.
we all need to look at ourselves as artwork, from time to time.
where can we shoot?
/ at home / in the woods / at a bar / at a rented location / on a mountain / somewhere in vegas / in a jungle / in your backyard / in the desert at sunrise / on a rollercoaster / at your office / at the park / on the sidewalk / in your corner grocery / at your mom’s house / in an alley / at the mall / on top of a parking garage / at your favorite donut store / you name it, let’s go /
‘everything you can imagine is real.’
Pablo Picasso
investment
each photoshoot experience is one-of-a-kind, which means your pricing is fully customized, too. while the details of our session may vary widely, there are a few things you can always expect from any package.

collaborations

Although most / photographers / stylists / models / hair + makeup artists / floral designers / videographers / venue owners / costume + fashion designers / cosplayers / mixed-media artists / musicians / and other creators + makers / operate businesses and do not have the capacity to “work for free,” i recognize the inherent value of networking, community-building, and creative collaboration and want to make space for these connections.
