“You said yes — now let’s capture the joy, the anticipation, and the love that makes your story worth telling for a lifetime.”
Because This Chapter Deserves To Be Remembered
Luxury Northern Kentucky & Cincinnati Engagement Photographer
Your engagement isn’t just a warm-up for the wedding — it’s a chapter overflowing with anticipation, joy, and the kind of connection that stops people in their tracks. These moments deserve more than “just pictures.” They deserve an experience so thoughtfully designed, it feels like it was made for you… because it is.
I work with couples who value timeless artistry, attention to detail, and photographs that will outlast the trends. My process is intentionally personal — from our very first conversation, we’ll be discovering if we’re the right fit for each other.
Because when the connection is right, the images are unforgettable.
A Luxury Experience, From Yes to Forever
Your engagement session is more than a date on my calendar — it’s a celebration of your story. I accept only a limited number of engagement sessions per month so that each couple gets the best of me, not what’s left of me.
From our initial call to the final reveal of your artwork, you’ll feel taken care of, guided, and inspired. We’ll create images full of elegance, energy, and emotion — the kind of photographs that make anyone who sees them feel the love between you.
Exclusive Editing, Timeless Style
Every image is captured in manual mode and RAW format, then hand-edited by me. I don’t outsource, and I don’t rely on filters or fads. Your photos will have a classic, balanced tone — never over-saturated, muddy, or flat — so they flow seamlessly with your wedding day images when displayed in your home.
The goal? A visual story that will still look stunning when you’re showing it to your grandchildren.
The Full-Service Photography Experience (FSPE)
Your engagement photographs deserve more than a quick scroll on a phone. As part of your FSPE reveal, you’ll experience the moment your gallery comes to life. Together, we’ll design custom wall art, heirloom albums, and fine-art prints that tell your love story in a way that can be felt every time you walk past them.
This is where your engagement session becomes part of your legacy — and part of your home.

How FPSE works — Products, Digitals & Artwork
All artwork, albums, and wall pieces are purchased separately at your in person reveal. Digital files are included with purchased artwork or collections but are not available as stand-alone items. This ensures you have both a tangible piece of art and the digital version to share and preserve.
Your investment in professional artwork means your engagement photographs will live beautifully in your home, not just on a screen.

Together, we’ll select your favorite images and design fine-art albums, wall art, and keepsakes that will complement your wedding day gallery perfectly, creating a seamless visual story for your home.
