Storytelling Sessions

2-hour sessions that capture your unique story

A storytelling session is a fully customized experience designed to capture your story intentionally.

With more time booked, we can plan multiple locations or “chapters” of your day — like wandering the city and stopping at a vintage arcade, hiking through Ecola State Park and ending with a beach picnic, or grabbing coffee before heading to the Rose Garden for sunset.

I guide the flow, suggest locations and outfits, and even source props to make the session feel immersive and authentic. The result is a gallery that reads like a visual narrative.

Regular sessions are shorter and more traditional, perfect for simple, authentic images in a single location. They’re thoughtfully directed but follow a relaxed, streamlined structure.

Both are meaningful — it comes down to whether you want a full experience captured or a single timeless moment.
