Not into stiff poses or forced smiles? Same.
I’m a queer, documentary-style photographer based in Asheville, and I photograph couples the way they actually are. No performances. No pretending. Just real connection, real energy, and moments that feel like you when you look back at them.
My couples sessions range from quick city or park sessions, to adventure sessions in the Blue Ridge, or even half-day experiences for out-of-towners who want to remember more than just the view. Whatever shape your day takes, my job is to help you feel comfortable, seen, and free to show up as yourselves.
This isn’t about content for your feed. It’s about documenting a season of your life in a way that feels honest, intentional, and alive — without you having to wonder what to do with your hands.
If you’re looking for photos that feel like memories instead of poses, you’re in the right place.
We will get along great if...
- You are an advocate for adventure. For me, adventure is anything that deviates from the norm, gets you excited, and creates room for the unknown. Lets deviate from a traditional photoshoot and have some fun!
- You value an inclusive environment. Queer, diverse, neurodivergent, and alternative couples can feel comfortable knowing that I go above and beyond to create a safe space for you.
- You have a soft heart for small businesses, and a high bar for quality. You can trust you are in good hands with me, and anyone I refer to you.
- You want an impressive experience without planning by yourself. You are in luck. I am a one-woman wonder - Photographer? You bet. Planner? Of course. Expert on local food & hidden gems? Absolutely. New best friend? I can't wait.

I. Contact Jen
Considering a photo session and want to talk through your ideas? Schedule your free consult call with me! You don't need a date or location picked out yet. I am happy to brainstorm with you, answer all your questions, and help you decide on a session package that is the right fit for you.
II. Plan Your Session
Once you pick a package and pay the 25% retainer, we will start planning! We will talk through location and activity options and create a plan you will actually look forward to. All my packages include timeline creation and personalized recommendations based on your interests. I am here to support you start to finish.
III. Create and relive your memories
On the day of our session, I will facilitate our plan so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy it! After the session, you will receive your sneak peeks within 24-48 hours, and final gallery within 4 weeks. I will provide guidance on any editing requests, how to download and order prints, etc.
FAQ
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes! My standard payment plan requires a 25% retainer to reserve your date, and then 25% payments 90 days, 60 days, and 30 days out from your session.
My extended payment plan still requires the 25% retainer to book, but then the remaining balance is split between 45 days before, two weeks before, and two weeks after your session date.
Do I have to have a location & date selected?
Definitely not! If you do have a specific vision, I am happy to work together to make that happen. For most couples I work with, they reach out with a general date range and desire to explore, and we identify the right location together.
Whats the difference between standard & premium locations?
Standard locations are accessible options within a 20 miles radius of AVL including parks, downtown, private residences, or some BRP overlooks.
Premium locations include scenic options like mountain views requiring hiking, waterfall trails, or expanded travel throughout WNC, SC, Eastern TN, and Northern GA.
How many photos will I receive?
I typically include ALL good images from your session. I list a minimum per package as a starting reference, but on average I deliver ~50 photos per hour of photo coverage.
What is your turnaround time?
I always share a handful of sneak peaks with you within 24-48 hours. You can expect to receive your full online gallery no later than 4 weeks from your session date (though most often I try to get your images to you within 1-2 weeks).
Do you travel?
All of my adventure sessions are designed for experiences within the blue ridge mountain range, including parts of North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia. If you would like to work with me, but have an alternative location in mind - i'm absolutely open to discussing that option with you.
What if we are awkward in front of a camera?
I get this question almost every session and I can promise you, you will love your photos regardless. This photoshoot isn't about perfect posing. My process is designed to make you as comfortable as possible so you are relaxed during your session and can capture organic expression and connection. Don't believe me? Read through all of my Google Reviews highlighting the experience from self-proclaimed awkward couples that raved about their experience.
