A garden is more than the plants that grow in it. It's a reflection of the people who tend it.

You have spent endless hours dreaming up ideas for, and tending to your garden. It changes from year to year, just like you.  Let’s create professional quality photos of your plants, crops, and you, the gardener that you can share, and keep as mementos in family albums, social media, or business websites.

With a B.F.A. in Photography, and over 10 years professional portrait and editorial experience, I offer photography sessions to capture both gardeners and the spaces they've cultivated.

Whether you want more traditional editorial-style portraits in front of your favorite flowers, or detailed images of your favorite crop growing in your space, I can capture the magic that you feel when you spend time there.

Garden photography can be great for:

  • Detailed photographs of your favorite plants and spaces without any people involved

  • Photos of you enjoying (or even working in) your garden

  • or a mix of both.

Photography is an optional addition to any Garden Walk and can be arranged alongside your consultation or as a separate session.
