Discover Exclusive, Curated Settings Just for You

The setting of your session is just as important as the photographs themselves, because I want your session to be a meaningful time of connection you will look back upon and treasure. That’s why I seek out spaces where you can step away from the noise of everyday life and enjoy an environment that feels exclusively yours.


I absolutely love photographing at private venues—exclusive properties I’ve personally explored to ensure they offer something truly exceptional. Seniors often feel more confident without the distraction of strangers, while families are free to laugh, play, and connect without interruption. Together, we explore these stunning properties, and the time you spend there becomes a beautiful memory woven into the images we create.  From the very beginning, my goal is to ensure your experience feels complete, elevated, and stress-free, so that you don’t just receive beautiful portraits—you receive an unforgettable experience.

While the majority of locations on my curated list are private, a select few are not. I include these carefully chosen spaces because they offer something unique—unmatched beauty, stunning scenery, or a distinctive atmosphere that can’t be found elsewhere. Each location is selected with your experience and the quality of your images in mind.
