ENDURING PHOTOGRAPHY

Grounded in joy, intention, and artistry.

Refined, story-driven senior portraits that celebrate beauty, confidence, and connection. With an editorial eye and an intentional, relaxed approach, I document this season with honesty and artistry—capturing authentic expression, elegant details, and the feeling of becoming.

THE MPP WEDDING EXPERIENCE

WELCOME

This is a season worth celebrating. Whether you’re stepping into graduation or honoring a chapter of becoming, it would be a joy to document this moment for you. I’m so glad you found your way here.

Senior portraits are more than images—they are a quiet pause in time. Years from now, my hope is that you’ll look back on these photographs and feel the beauty, confidence, and emotion of this season, preserved with care and intention.

THE MPP APPPROACH

A PHOTOGRAPHER 

by

at

I approach every senior session with an artist’s eye and a storyteller’s heart—quietly observing, gently guiding, and always attuned to the moments that feel most true to you. From quiet confidence to joyful laughter, I’m there to preserve this season with care and intention.
With a background in fine arts from the Rhode Island School of Design and over a decade behind the camera, my work is rooted in thoughtful composition, emotional depth, and timeless imagery that feels both refined and personal.
You’ll find me offering calm direction, warm encouragement, and a space where you can feel fully seen and at ease. Every expression, every movement, every fleeting moment—it’s all part of your story. And it would be an honor to tell it.


Rooted in art, shaped by story. Photographing portraits with quiet purpose and poetic vision.

Frequently asked questions

What is your background in photography?

I have a BFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design and have been in business for almost 10 years.

Can we do a custom wedding collection?

Absolutely! If one doesn't meet all your needs I can present you with a curated and custom collection based on your wedding day.

How many images will be get in our final gallery?

On average I deliver about 75-90 images per hour that I am photographing. So if you have a 9 hour wedding, typically your gallery will include around 700-800 images.

What is your out of state travel fee?

Because each destination is unique I provide a custom travel quote based on the location and length of stay for the event(s).

Are you a hybrid photographer? How many film images do we receive?

I photograph using both film and digital cameras. While each wedding is different and I chose the medium that will best capture the moment, about 30% of your wedding gallery will be film.

How do we officially book with you?

Once we've had a chance to chat and you've decided on a collection, a signed contract and retainer of 50% of your total wedding collection is required to secure your date.
