    Why not just take photos ourselves?

    DIY photos can’t replace the eye of a professional. You’ll either spend the day behind your phone, or miss out entirely on key moments. A professional captures the atmosphere, details, and genuine interactions while you stay present with your guests.

    What’s your photography style?

    My style is photojournalistic and candid. I don’t interrupt the flow of your event or pose guests unless requested. Instead, I capture the real energy of the day: laughter, reactions, toasts, and the little moments in between.

    How does booking work?

    We’ll have a quick chat about your event, timing, and any must-have shots. On the day of your gathering, I’ll arrive early to get a feel for the space and then move discreetly through the event to capture everything organically.

    Can I combine this with other photography services?

    Yes! Many clients who book me for backyard events also book related sessions. For example, I often provide prom and graduation photography or birthday party photography in Chatham within the same season or for the same family.

    How far in advance should I book?

    Spring, summer, and early fall dates fill quickly in Chatham and the surrounding area. I recommend reaching out as soon as you know your date to reserve your spot.

    How do I get started?

    It’s simple. Contact me here to check availability and tell me about your event. I’ll walk you through next steps so we’re ready when your day arrives.

    Your backyard party deserves more than shaky phone videos. Let’s capture it in a way that feels real and lasts a lifetime.
