the person behind the camera...
I’ll be with you throughout the entire process
Hey it's Seran, I live in Oregon with my partner, our 2 dogs, our 4 cats, 5 goats, etc. (Did I mention I love animals?) When I'm not out photographing weddings/families or location scouting you can find me outdoors. In my garden, tending to my little menagerie of farm animals, hiking with the family, dragging the hubs through a Disney park, or enjoying a good book out in the sun. When I'm not outdoors I'm usually inside fixating on a new craft, binging on TV while editing photos, or chasing my toddler.

FAQ
Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?
Travel expenses within 100 miles are automatically included in my packages. After which, each wedding/elopement is different and I would need to know the deets before I could give you an honest estimate.
What if we want something more extreme for our elopement?
DO IT. And let me know-I will support you the entire way through. Want to go on hot air ballon, do it! Want to rent a movie theater, do it! Want to run away into the wilderness and hike to some amazing areas, do it! I love planning and researching with my couples.
We want to include our dog into the elopement ceremony and photos, is that okay?
As a full-time dog mother I will always says YES. I have done shoots with both dogs and cats and I am 100% down every time and can offer suggestions and tips to including your fur babies in your day.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! There is a 30% nonrefundable retainer due to save your date and start planning together. After, how ever you would like to pay is up to you-as long as we are settled up 30 days in advance for weddings+elopements and 1 week in advance for regular session.
How long does it take to receive the photos after the elopement/session and how will those be delivered?
Regular sessions you can expect a sneak peek within 48 hours and final gallery in 2-4 weeks. Elopements and Weddings you can expect a sneak peek in 1 week and then the full gallery in 1-2 months.
Do we need a wedding officiant for our elopement? If yes, can you recommend one?
Elopements are just like any other ceremony. If you want it legal, you gotta have a licenses officiant of some sort. I can totally recommend someone after we have the contract signed and retainer paid. From Theron, I can recommend all sorts of locations, vendors, etc.
What if we legally don’t get married on our elopement day?
That's totally fine. If you want a courthouse wedding and then to go on an adventure I'm so down. Or if you want to get married and then do portraits on another day let's do it! I did bridal portraits 2 years after my elopement with my husband. So genuinely-do what feels right for you!
We are literally so awkward around the camera, will you be able to work with that?
Of course! That is my job and I love it! I also do my research before every shoot based off what you want out of your shoot. So don't worry about where your hands go or what to do, I am prepared and I have gotchu'! My directions are action and moment-based, so you can focus on having fun, and I can focus on capturing it.
