I specialize in creating cinematic, dreamy, and effortlessly iconic portraits tailored to your unique style: Soft anime pastels, cherry blossom dreams, classic golden-hour glow, or anything you want.
You may choose different styles for every location we visit and I will tailor edits just for you! This personalization makes a huge difference in the final quality compared to photographer packages without edits or just a simple filter. Whether you want a classic photoshoot with traditional/soft lighting or something more creative, we will create your ideal image together!
Your milestones and memories deserves to feel like a magazine cover. Pinterest boards are extremely welcome & we always provide a Fine Collection (perfect, 5-star photos at each location) & unlimited additional photos, all edited! -
You do not need to know how to model at all! I have tons of poses to teach you in a mini crash course before we start our session and will offer a lot of posing guidance throughout the photoshoot <3 no need to be nervous!

We understand that things happen. Please donβt hesitate to reach out if any emergency occurs and we will always support you. We will always reschedule for rainy days. Cloudy days however, are the best weather for portraits, so we do not reschedule for cloudy days because itβs most ideal! Message me if you want to see my sunset edits that looks way better than a sunny day :)

As a studio, we ensure top-tier quality at an affordable price because quality graduation portraits should be accessible to everyone. Our photos are captured either by me (see my portfolio on this site) or by our highly-trained associate photographers, each undergoing rigorous training and using only professional-grade camera and lighting equipment. We spend 2+ hours per hour of photoshoot time to edit these pictures to the best quality possible. I also love editing so Iβm always super excited to edit as soon as I get home, which means my image delivery time is usually super fast within 2-3 days if itβs not super busy!
