After our engagement session, I felt as though I had known Heather forever. She made us feel comfortable and beautiful, but, most importantly, it was so fun shooting with her. I didn't want it to end!

Selecting the right engagement session backdrop is the first step in creating a collection of images that feels like you.

Whether we are on the iconic cliffs of Malibu, roaming the city streets of LA, are barefoot on the grass of your family home, or visiting the scenic sights of wherever you live, I provide the artful direction needed to make any environment the perfect backdrop.

My number one tip for what to wear for your engagement session is to wear clothes that make you feel amazing. If you feel good, you'll look great. Beyond that, I can help you with specific styling ideas that will work best with the location you choose.
