The best way to choose a location for the photo session is to look through my gallery, and pick out the images you love the setting and lighting in. I know of quite a few gorgeous locations that are reasonably private depending on the time of day, and some that are utterly secret and private. The joy that comes naturally from these settings translates to your faces and the photos so clearly!
Location options are peppered in and around Charlemont, Ashfield, Plainfield, Cummington, Chesterfield, Northampton, Montague, Leyden, Greenfield, Shelburne Falls, Heath, Rowe, and up into Southern Vermont. The locations I prefer are all wooded & have gorgeous rivers or brooks running through.
I also have a photography studio in Charlemont. It is brand new, so studio sessions are currently pay-what-you-can pricing.
If you have a place already in mind, that’s great too, I am happy to travel!
Comfy clothes (We don’t want any panty lines!)
River shoes/sandals. (Easy to slip on and off for walking between little mossy nooks)
Drinking Water. (Seriously.)
Be well-fed. Well-rested. Well-moisturized.
For Wintertime sessions, have extra sets of towels, wool socks, easy slip-on warm robe or poncho, a warm beverage and little cake or treat for warming up after.
I am always super flexible with weather. Finding the right weather conditions for the feel and style photos that you want is very important to me! Do you want it to be stormy and cloudy, even rainy? Or do you want to capture the warm glow of sunrise? Or a pink sunset? What light do you love? What weather makes you feel like you want to go play around some water nude?
We can book an appointment & move or change it as we need to. As soon as we have a place in mind & I know what style of light you are dreaming of, I can then suggest the best times of day for the location. I always start checking the weather forecast and radar in the days before a session & I will email or text you at that point to discuss if we think the weather will do & solidify exact location, timing, and iron out any extra details or answer any last questions at that time.
Within 24 hours of our session, I deliver a “Sneak Peek” of 10-20 images in full resolution with my initial bespoke edits. Then, within 2 weeks, I deliver the rest for your final album.
Albums are delivered digitally, via an Adobe hosted link. Full resolution downloads of individual images or the entire album are free, I do not charge per photo.
Photo albums stay live on the links provided for 1 year, at which point you will loose access to the files online, so I highly recommend getting them all downloaded onto a storage drive of your own by then.
Yes and no. All of my work gets some sort of edits, mostly what I describe a “juicing up the colors”, and bringing the image back to life for screen sharing or printing. In addition, I do make several editorial erasures by editing out stray shoes in the shot, or a unaesthetic fence post or trail sign, anything that might distract from the illusion of seclusion out there in the wilds. However, I draw the retouching line at your skin- I never artificially airbrush or smooth or color fake skin texture or tone. You are beautiful just as you are, in my eyes and through my lens, let me prove that to you.
I NEVER post or share your photos without permission.
I do, however, love to share my work and believe wholeheartedly that everyone has a place in the public eye, so if you feel excited to share your images after your session with me, check out the Testimonials and Exposure Incentive!
The images you see on this website, or on my Patreon are predominately from what I call my Muse sessions. Muses, or models, exchange their time with me for permission to share, publish, exhibit, and sell the images we create.
*BRAND NEW* STUDIO Sessions are currently pay-what-you-can!
Below, you can find an array of options that I find encompasses most of the work that comes my way. If you have a more unique style of session you are thinking of, or want something not listed (like engagements or weddings) don’t hesitate to reach out and I can put together a quote for you.
And, or course, I’m happy to barter.
Yes! Especially:
Tattoo Artists
Massage Therapists/Physical Therapists
Builders/ Carpenters
Manual Labor
and many more!

You, me, and the river. Flow state seeps into every atom when we give ourselves in to pure outdoor play. These sessions are fun and easy, you may choose to be nude, clothed, or have a piece of fabric for drapery. I aim to capture you at your most natural, raw, and free, let me show you yourself. Your investment includes not only the session time, but also the care and attention I put into editing your images to reflect the true essence of our time together.

One hour in front of the camera. When planning, expect more time for the session as a whole including transition time, setup, etc.

Two hours in front of the camera. When planning, expect more time for the session as a whole to include transitions, setup, etc.

Three hours in front of the camera. When planning, expect more time for the session as a whole including water and snack breaks, transition times, setup, etc.

6 hours in front of the camera. When planning, expect more time for the session as a whole including water and snack breaks, optional lunch, transition times, setup, etc.

Winter sessions are condensed and intense because of the elements. I am well versed in these conditions and I offer optional breathwork before the cold exposure begins.
$333 Winter Immersion is the ‘Polar Plunge’ option; a quick dip with as many candids as I can get. A little taste of flowing through the freeze impulse.
$666 Winter Immersion is more akin to a normal flow session. People often surprise themselves with newfound cold tolerance. More time, more flow, more art.

45 Minutes in front of the camera. You will have the chance to look through the images at the end of the session and choose up to 10 favorite photos for me to edit and return to you.
Ideal for professional headshots or senior portraits.
These sessions are designed to honor you—the raw, radiant power of motherhood—and the love that surrounds you. I aim to capture the quiet intimacy between you and your partner, the curve of your belly cradled by sunlight and water, and the untamed joy of this chapter of life. Wear what feels like you—a flowing dress, a draped fabric, or nothing at all. This is about feeling free, held, and deeply seen in your creationist season. Let’s preserve the wild, soft, and raw beauty of your becoming.
