I’m located in Issaquah, Washington, USA and do most of my shooting in the area. I am happy to explore locations around the Washington area with additional travel costs.

Anyone who wants to transform their relationship with themselves and connect with Mother Nature. Working with a diverse array of humans is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job. I am here to respect and honor all parts of your identity, while capturing your most authentic self.

I understand how vulnerable these sessions are, and want to make sure I’m showing up for you in the way you need.
First, we have a thorough booking process. My booking form asks detailed questions to determine your needs and how I can best serve you. After that, we will schedule a video consultation where I share my philosophy and session details. This is an opportunity to meet one another and make sure that you are comfortable with me. There is no pressure to book after a consultation call if it doesn’t feel like a good fit.
During our session, we begin by walking through the Forest. When we get to our location, we will sit and chat on the Forest floor. We take our time getting comfortable with one another, and I’ll check in on how you are feeling. We will take some time to ground before the camera comes out. During the shooting process, I will regularly check in with you and we will not shoot anything that you are not comfortable with. I work from a trauma-informed lens and take consent practices very seriously. I work hard to create a safe environment where you feel empowered and safe communicating your needs.

Of course not! I want you to feel comfortable, safe and documented in the way that is most affirming for you. When my clients opt for clothing, I generally advise minimalistic garments in nude or earth tones so the focus remains on the human-Nature connection.
Most of my clients opt for nudity because it allows them to fully dive into the sensations of the Natural World. Being nude in a safe, accepting space can be incredibly empowering!

The default is always to keep your gallery entirely private. However, if you have interest in giving me access to share some or all of your gallery, you can sign a photo release after I’ve delivered your images!
-
Yes! You can select extra images from your proof gallery and purchase them for an additional cost per image.
-
I take on groups, events, and headshots on a case-by-case basis. I want to make sure that my photography style is a good fit for your needs! Submit a booking form and we can hop on a consultation call.

I have yet to encounter anyone during a session, however, I come prepared with a robe that I can quickly throw your way if needed. I am always paying attention to our surroundings to anticipate any potential contact with people. Also, nudity is not illegal in Washington, as long as you aren’t behaving in an intentionally harmful way. I do have a location option that is on private land, as well!
-
I hear this one often. I believe that you are worthy of being celebrated and captured RIGHT NOW. It is normal to be nervous, being perceived can feel intimidating. Listen to your intuition, you will know when you’re ready. And if you are still uncertain, let’s schedule a consultation call to figure it out together.
-
Rainy sessions are some of my favorites. As for the cold, I come prepared with a backpack full of supplies to keep you warm. You may, however, reschedule for better weather. I just ask that you do this 7 days before our scheduled shoot to avoid late reschedule fees.
-
I want the images we capture to look like YOU. I will not photoshop your body. I refrain from doing blemish removal unless you request otherwise, and am only willing to do very minor adjustments. I want your skin to look like real skin! Our session won’t be as empowering if the images we capture don’t look like the you that you see in the mirror. You are perfect exactly as you are.

I will deliver your images 2-4 weeks after you have made your selections.
