Moments You Can Hold — An Artful Rooted in Connection
experience,
what it’s like to work with me
time With No Limits — Only Connection, Emotion, and the Magic in Between
From the moment you inquire to the day your gallery is delivered, my heart is set on building a genuine connection — one that leaves you feeling fully seen and understood. I want you to feel like no one else could have told your story quite the same. I’ll be there for the quiet in-betweens, the messy laughter, the stolen kisses, and everything that makes your love feel like yours. With an intentional eye and a modern, artful touch, I’m here to give you more than just photos — I’m here to give you moments you can hold onto forever.
This is my approach
My job isn’t just to take beautiful photos — it’s to preserve the real, fleeting moments you’ll want to remember forever. The way your partner looks at you, the laughter of your kids, the quiet details that say everything. Because it’s not just about how the day looked — it’s about how it felt.
Begin by reaching out through the contact form — share your story, your vision, and what you’re dreaming of. Every detail helps me curate an experience that’s wholly yours.
After we connect, you'll receive a tailored proposal with all the details. A signed agreement and retainer make it official — your moment is now reserved with care.
From thoughtful planning to the day we create together, every step is guided with heart and intention — leaving you with timeless imagery and memories that linger.

Rooted in Story. Inspired by You.
Every story I tell begins with connection — yours and mine. My approach is deeply personal, blending documentary moments with intentional artistry. I’m not just here to take beautiful photos; I’m here to understand what matters most to you and to capture it in a way that feels real, nostalgic, and one-of-a-kind.

Frequently asked questions
1. How far in advance should we book you?
2. How many photos will we receive & when?
To ensure the best chance of securing your ideal date, I recommend booking 6–12 months in advance for weddings and at least 1–2 months in advance for lifestyle sessions. That said, feel free to reach out anytime — if I’m available, I’d love to work with you!
You can expect a gallery of high-resolution, fully edited images that tell your story beautifully. For weddings, galleries are typically delivered within 2-3 months. For lifestyle sessions, it’s usually 4-6 weeks. I always send sneak peeks within a few days so you don’t have to wait too long!

Frequently asked questions
3. Do you travel?
4. What if we’re awkward?
Absolutely! I’m always up for an adventure—whether it’s a few hours away or across the country. Travel fees vary by location, but I do have a bucket list on my About page with spots where fees are waived!
That’s so normal—and honestly, most of my couples say the same thing before their session! I guide you through everything in a super natural way so it feels more like hanging out than posing. You’ll be surprised how quickly you relax and have fun with it.

“Sydney completely blew us away. From our engagement session to our wedding day, she made us feel so comfortable and taken care of. Her communication was amazing, and she kept everything running smoothly. We got nearly 80 sneak peeks within 48 hours — I couldn’t believe it! Her talent, kindness, and eye for love are unmatched. Booking Sydney was the best decision, and I truly feel like I gained a friend.”

She helped me create a timeline that was flexible for our wedding day, but still helped us stay on schedule. Her edits are amazing and she made me look/feel beautiful! Sydney is amazing and I would recommend her to everyone!!"

"Sydney has captured all of our life’s greatest milestones, starting with our engagement and wedding photos and now our little family. And somehow she continues to impress us even more with every session, always delivering exactly what we hoped for and more! My kids (and husband) are so comfortable in front of the camera with her and every session brings so much laughter and fun memories together. These cherished moments are something we love looking back on and we’re forever grateful for Sydney and her incredible talent she shares with the world! "
