DESTINATION COLLECTIONS
Some moments deserve more than a local backdrop.
For those who feel drawn to wide open spaces, mountain air, or landscapes that take your breath away, I offer destination portrait experiences designed to feel like an adventure. Whether it’s the golden light over a mountain range, the stillness of an alpine lake, or the rugged beauty of the coastline, these sessions are about more than images—they’re about creating something unforgettable.
This is your story, told somewhere extraordinary.
2026 Locations
Historic Bluffton & Charleston, South Carolina
June 3–8, 2026
Location Feel: Coastal South Carolina offers a completely different atmosphere — historic streets, soft coastal light, colorful architecture, beaches, and Spanish moss. These sessions are perfect for clients wanting timeless portraits with a warm, coastal feel. We can photograph downtown, near the waterfront, or at nearby beaches during sunrise or sunset.
Perfect For: Families on vacation, seniors wanting coastal portraits, couples, and lifestyle sessions
Colorado Wildflowers or Fall Colors
Best times to go: mid- to late July for wildflowers, late September to early October for fall colors
Location Feel: Colorado in July is filled with alpine wildflowers, mountain lakes, open meadows, and dramatic sunset light. These sessions are ideal for seniors or families wanting colorful summer scenery with a relaxed mountain feel and adventurers who want portraits fishing, camping, or canoeing. Think flowing dresses in wildflower fields, mountain overlooks at golden hour, evergreen forests, and cool summer evenings. If you prefer the golden aspens quaking in the breeze and the possibility of snowcapped mountains for backgrounds, I recommend late September to the first week or two of October.
Perfect For: Seniors, families, couples, adventure-inspired portraits
Western Washington / Oregon
Late June – early October 2026 (Dates flexible- let’s plan!)
Location Feel: Western Washington and Oregon have some of the most diverse scenery anywhere— beaches, evergreen forests, waterfalls, mountain views, ferries, and dramatic coastlines. Depending on the timing, these sessions could take place near the Olympic Peninsula, the North Cascades, Columbia River Gorge, coastal beaches, or scenic mountain areas. This option is perfect for clients who love moodier scenery (and witchy vibes!), Pacific Northwest landscapes, and a more adventurous feel. Coffee and yoga on the beach, ferry rides to Bainbridge Island, lighthouses, and sunsets at North Cascades National Park? Yes, please!
Perfect For: Seniors, families, couples, and solo adventurers
Mount Rainier National Park
Wildflowers or Fall Colors
First week of August for wildflowers / Late September for fall colors
Location Feel: The trails around Paradise and Sunrise fill with colorful alpine flowers, layered mountain ridges, and sweeping views of Mount Rainier itself. These sessions are ideal for anyone wanting epic scenery without losing the soft, emotional feel of a portrait session. Expect glowing sunsets, mountain air, and some of the most incredible scenery in the Pacific Northwest.
Looking for a fall vibe? Autumn at Mt. Rainier is divine. Warm days, cool nights, a crisp breeze rustling through the golden larches, vine maples, and huckleberry bushes. Let’s do it!
Perfect For: Seniors, families, couples, adventure-inspired portraits
Northwest Wyoming
Early October
Location Feel: Early October in Northwest Wyoming is my favorite place to be. Crisp air, snow-capped mountains, elk bugling, fall colors, and the smell of autumn in the air. With the Tetons as our backdrop, we’ll make use of the best locations and general peacefulness this time of year. The summer crowds are gone, but the natural beauty is at its peak.
Perfect For: Families, couples, engagements, artists at work, solo adventurers
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
October 27-28, 2026
Location Feel: Late October typically brings peak autumn color, layered mountain views, foggy mornings, rivers, and warm golden light. These sessions are especially beautiful for families wanting cozy fall portraits or seniors who love rich autumn tones. We can wander through Cades Cove, hang out by the streams reflecting vibrant fall colors, or take a hike through the woods. Need an engagement session? I’m in!
Perfect For: Seniors, families, couples, fall mountain sessions
