Photo + film for exploring the everyday moments in every season of life 

Adventure Sessions & Storytelling Sessions

Sadly, some people only have captured memories on photo or film from their engagement, wedding day, or when their first kid is born.

We love documenting engagement seasons, marriage celebrations, and watching couples grow their families!

But what we're really here for is the in-between moments, the lived in love stories, and the preserving of seasons you're not gonna wanna forget in 50 years time. 

Your everyday is worth exploring. Your love story is worth sharing. Your memories can be captured authentically – showing what life really looks like; documenting the beauty of a true story told. 

You don't have to wait until you're engaged or your 10 year anniversary to showcase your love or tell your story

CONNECT WITH US

Whether you're celebrating something, or needing a reason to celebrate, we're here to document it all for you. And here's how we'll do it:

True to you activities

Personal locations

vision boards & questionnaires

whether you're marking the day of your dog's adoption, succeeding your struggle of infertility, or wanting to capture the heart and soul you pour into your garden at home, we'll prepare to document you best

life moves quickly, let's slow down for a bit. You create the memories, we'll be there to capture them

we focus on what you normally invest your time in and help you choose activities that will aid in authentic connection captured

slow paced, storytelling imagery 

semi-structured interview audio

NOstalgia in the making

remember looking through VHS tapes over holidays at your parent's house? Let's make some of those for the next generation

we spend time getting to know you and your vision and then ask all the right questions to make sure we're creating an experience that'll allow for storytelling easily

we love a majestic background or an epic hike just as much as you do, but we choose locations that are personable and preferable to you

We all have a story to tell, but sometimes just no time to tell it. That's where we come in. We help you see the value in the season you're in, celebrate it, and document it. You just gotta be you!

We're not about to line you up with 10 other clients waiting for the next slot to maximize our time and profits just to get you 5 images (and no video) and then for you to be out the door.

We're here to hear your story, celebrate your wins, cry with you over your losses, and document life's moments for you. Plus, we'll help you choose a meaningful & beautiful location, guide you while also letting you unfold while doing all of your favorite activities, & create beautiful imagery for you to look back on for generations. 

So let us be your everyday storytellers, ready to explore the moments of life with you

Even Beyoncé has 24 hours in a day...

Long gone are the days of perfectly posed people and over edited imagery that says nothing about you. The days of helping you choose a personal location, an authentic activity, and guiding you in a way that leads to candid laughs and honest tears captured on photo and film are here to stay

We can hop on a Facetime date and brainstorm ideas for your session, and then we'll keep all our planning details organized in one place.

Connection call + client portal 

The full picture? Our adventure sessions & storytelling sessions include:

Once we have a date on the calendar, we'll help you choose a location that is both meaningful to you and breathtaking. We'll create backup plans for weather and send you a curated session guide to make choosing outfits & activities a breeze!

Location scouting + session planning guide 

We send you a vision board template to make sure we're able to make your dream a reality, and then send you a questionnaire to fill out so we know what your values are, what your story includes, and how we can make you the most comfortable in front of the camera!

Vision board + a questionnaire

A personalized Spotify playlist with your favorite artists & albums, and a camera bag packed equally with gear and snacks (because what's a good session without some snacks?!)

A session playlist + session snacks

We'll be shooting simultaneously and you'll barely even remember we're there! We'll induct a semi-structured interview at the end to be able to incorporate a storyline of audio in your film & guide you in prompts when needed, but other than that, we'll allow the moments to unfold naturally!

Candid imagery + documentary style video w/ audio

Beyond your digital gallery and film, you get polaroid keepsakes, printed 35mm film photographs, an option for Super 8 footage to be included in your film, a BTS montage for social media, and a GIF to share with the world!

A GIF, polaroid prints, film photographs, super 8, & a reel for social media 

Your photos and film all in one place, a team that works together to document + deliver your story truly and timely. 

Your photos + videos forever in one place

Adventure & Storytelling Session

Once we have our connection call and get you on the calendar, we'll send over a contract & a payment plan! We require 50% non-refundable deposit to secure your session!


Sessions with us are 90 minutes minimum. We spend the first 10-15 minutes with you scouting the location, talking together, and setting up any activities. We allow time throughout for natural conversation, movement, and free flowing fun! And then we leave time at the end for interview questions, creativity, and shooting some behind-the-scenes and b-roll!

We guarantee 90+ images, and a 3 minute film, however – we try and focus on storytelling in our editing style + delivery so image count + minutes rely heavily on the content we were able to capture during the session together! 

Yes! We spend most of our time exploring & shooting in Oregon, Washington, and Northern California, but if you're wanting a photo & video team to document your current season for you honestly & creatively – shoot us a message or check out our travel dates to see when we'll be in your area!

We know how excited you are to get your photos & videos back, and so that's why we always send you a week-of-sneak-peek which will include a few selected & edited images for you to set as your screensaver right away ;) and a short highlight reel of your session to share on social! Your full gallery & full film will be delivered 4-6 weeks from your session date!

We typically book sessions up to a year in advance, but depending on the season you're looking at (like winter) we could book as soon as a month out from your session! Most of the time, we tell people to reach out 4-6 months from their ideal session date so we can get you on the books and start planning! 

Adventure sessions & storytelling sessions are for couples & families in the PNW & Northern California that want photos & a film set place in a beautiful location with intentional activities (think: picnic, hiking, or playing music together) that capture authentic love through candid imagery & documentary audio to keep for a lifetime.
