How would you describe your editing style?

Film-inspired and nostalgic with earthy, true-to-life tones. I focus on natural light, emotion, and storytelling. You’ll see warm, candid moments mixed with crisp, clean imagery. I shoot digital + film and offer Super 8 for some packages.

Do you help with locations and outfits?

Yes. I provide full location guidance and help you choose the perfect spot based on lighting, scenery, accessibility, and your vision. I also offer outfit guidance so you feel confident and cohesive on camera.

Do you require a deposit?

Yes. A non-refundable $150–$500 deposit is required at booking and goes toward your total balance.

What is your rescheduling or cancellation policy?

If weather becomes extreme (heavy rain, wildfire smoke, unsafe roads), we will reschedule at no extra cost. Sick kids? No problem — family reschedules are always okay. Deposits are non-refundable but can be transferred to a new date once within the same calendar year.

Do you travel?

Absolutely. I travel throughout Central Oregon, Portland, the Oregon Coast, and the Pacific Northwest. I also travel to other states and internationally upon request. Travel fees may apply depending on the location — just reach out for a custom quote.

Do you offer add-ons?

Yes — you can personalize your experience with:

  • Super 8–style video clips & film add-ons

  • Extra wedding hours

  • A second shooter

  • Additional edited images

  • Adventure session upgrades

What makes Wild Pines Photography different?

I’m a native Oregonian with a deep love for the landscapes that make this state magic. As a mom, I understand the beauty and chaos of real, unscripted moments. My approach blends documentary storytelling with film-inspired nostalgia — guiding you naturally while creating space for genuine emotion.

I believe in capturing connection over perfection, movement over posing, and memories that feel like home.
