Maine portrait photographer | 35mm and medium format film

Natural film portraits for artists, students, and creatives

As a documentary photographer, my approach to portraits is a little different. I like to collaborate with you to create portraits that are comfortable and natural. Ultimately, I want portraits that feel like YOU. I will work with you to select a location, styling, and concept to tell your story. Whether you are an artist looking for unique branding photos, a high school or college senior wanting photographs that celebrate the important time of your life, or a creative looking to capture film photos that celebrate the small joys in your everyday. Each session is customized to you.

Prices start at $350
