MY approach TO TAKING PHOTOS IS AN EXCHANGE IN ENERGY. creating a calm space where you can genuinely feel like yourself is what its all about.
I'm so happy you made it here to my website, I'm someone that genuinely feels like everything happens for a reason and the universe is so powerful in bringing us together. I just wanted to start off by saying most of my couples reach out to me saying how awkward they are in front of the camera, I always tell them they don't come close in beating me in that category. It's something that I have related to my whole entire life so I understand the nerves that come along with it. But here is the thing, once you go through a session with me or book me as your wedding photographer and you get your photos in return, you realize how you both don't look awkward at all. The other catcher too is that you don't have to do much work on your end at all to achieve photos like you see on my website. Its not some awkward staged photo shoot when your parents took you to Sears to have family portraits back in the 90s. Its absolutely nothing like that. Literally all you have to do is show up as yourselves, I will be your third wheel friend, hyping you both up and making sure you have an amazing time, almost like a date! Lots of my couples even stress the importance of having this time, rekindled parts of their relationship. I think its so important to document highlights in your life with your favorite people. There is something so much more that only photos can really explain, and how to capture real genuine feelings and emotions.
I'm a huge advocate on treating my couples like REAL human beings who have REAL connections with other human beings. Creating a safe space for my clients to be free in who they are is the biggest deal ever. It is a total game changer in how your photos turn out, which of course I want to turn out amazing. My approach is a lot different than most photographers, if you book a session with me, your damn right I want to meet you thirty minutes before our session and meet you; maybe grab you your favorite brew, coffee or tea if you are up for it. Having that approach of not just showing up and not even giving the chance to meet you both before your session is a total disservice to you in my book. Photography is a completely personal thing and I wholeheartedly believe that you need to make sure who you hire is someone you can vibe with.
Photos That Make You Feel
Nostalgic
Hi, I'm Paris! One thing that I just want to be so up front with is that this job is my life. I absolutely put my love and energy into what I do. I'm always searching for more than meets the eye, always something even deeper. I love to geek out about the optics and technical aspect of photography but my biggest thing is emotional connection. I'm always trying to go beyond what we show on the surface, your why, your passion , your fire. I want you to feel seen and heard and for that to be reflected back into a memory you will always cherish.
I'm so thankful and honored when I am chosen to be someones photographer. I get to document the happiest moments in others lives and I have always enjoyed making others feel good since I was a child. This whole photographer thing started when I allowed myself to go with my gut and it has always lead me down the right paths in life. Its exactly the same approach I use when photographing people. A lot of my decisions when it comes to posing is based on the feeling and energy I get from you so that I can truly match you who really are deep down.
I like to understand and adapt to the world rather than organize it.

Paris is amazingly talented. Not only is her work spectacular, she is beautiful inside and out. She is so kind, patient, and truly knowledgeable about her craft. It's apparent that she's always looking for a challenge and something new to keep moving forward and honing her skills
-Ambree
I am so thankful I found paris. Not only is she pretty much one of the sweetest and most genuine people on this planet. But She was born to be a photographer. Her confidence in what he does makes you extremely confident on the other end of the camera. She has a vision and I feel she shoots differently for each individual client which makes her work that much more unique and fit to each clients personality and aesthetic.
- Sarah
From start to finish Paris was amazing! The moment I reached out on her website, she quickly responded and was so kind and open to all our ideas and seemed just as excited as we were! She contacted the drive-in theater and helped me coordinate so we could do our engagement shoot there and even showed up with glass coke bottles I had not been able to find that we wanted as props. She made us feel so comfortable and stayed in contact with us the whole journey! By the wedding, we felt like we had a friend looking out for us and what we wanted out of our photos! She truly captured us and it didn’t feel forced or posed, looking back on the photos really makes me feel like I am there again. Thank you so much Paris for all the thought and love you put in to our photos!
- jamie

-kayla
Paris completely transforms photography. She makes the whole thing an experience. It’s not your normal posing or the basic style, it’s all different, she makes you feel comfortable and shows how you really interact with one another, how you touch each other, real smiles and laughs. She’s such a sweet and talented girl and her vibe is just unmatched. My boyfriend even loved her and he hates doing photo shoots! Very much looking forward to future photo shoots and memories to be made with her

This is the perfect option for if you plan on having more than 20 guest at your wedding. I only do weddings with 70 or less guest because I feel like this allows me to connect more with you both as a couple and your guest. Although the weddings i have shot with more than 70+ guest have been amazing, I find this is more personable and I connect on a deeper level. My starting coverage time I recommend is 8+ hours because I truly value your wedding day and dont feel right missing important parts of your day. Now with COVID affecting wedding plans, I understand that some plans have changed where couples are having a ceremony on one day and their reception on another day or not at all. So please don't hesitate to reach out and maybe I can create something more custom for you.

Elopements are something I completely resonate with on such a deep level, its actually how me and my fiance are committing our lives together. This is a perfect option if you two want to get married more on a personal level and aren't a huge fan of going traditional. You could say your vows on a mountaintop, on the beach or even in the forrest. Really the ideas are endless and the whole main thing is that you want this day to ultimately be about the two of you, thats what it is really about! I'm so here to help you craft your elopement day that is so true to you two.

Couples sessions can literally be for any occasion. A lot of my couples sessions are for engagements, anniversaries or just because! I am pretty well rounded on how we can go about your couples session, we can go out someone in nature where its peaceful, and not walk that far too amazing spots or do something more adventurous and hike a little to find some hidden gems. We can even go more in an urban downtown area and go on an adventure, take some photos on top of a garage rooftop, find cool murals, oh and of course grab some coffee! We can also do someone more lifestyle like in your home where you feel the most comfortable, plus, you an include your pets without having to transport them out of their comfort zone. Its a win-win! Most of my couples have no idea where to take photos, if you consult with me, I will craft up a list of ideas for you! 90 minutes is the bare minimum of time I allow for a couples session because I feel that is the appropriate time for me to get to know you both and to give some wiggle room on getting comfortable.
Pricing + Services
Faq
HOW MANY IMAGES DO I GET?
So the thing with me is that I do no have any cut off number on the amount of photos you will receive. I'm extremely generous with the amount I give because I give all the best photos edited with no silly cut off number. I genuinely want you to have the most out of what you pay for. I'm the type of photographer where my ethics dont align with not giving you photos and up-selling you on extra photos. These are your memories and I promise to capture them fully!
HOW MUCH DO WE NEED TO PUT DOWN TO RESERVE YOU?
Its at least a 30 percent down retainer to reserve me as your photographer and this holds your date with me. For elopements, your remaining 70 percent is due two weeks before your elopement, for all my sessions its due the day of or sooner. I do also offer payment plans to make it easier on everyone financially
DO YOU OFFER PRINTS AND ALBUMS AS WELL?
I do! I am partnered with some amazing labs! The way you can order them is through my online gallery website that I deliver once I deliver your gallery. You will have the option to order any prints or albums and have them delivered straight to your home. The amazing perk to this is that I really believe in their quality and if anything were to happen; I am more likely to take care of it as oppose to if you had them printed elsewhere. Although I do include a print release document that allows you to print anywhere you would like, I seriously do recommend the lab I am partnered with!
DO YOU EDIT IN A DIFFERENT STYLE?
I do not, I have my own defined style that I have crafted over the years and I truly want to be hired because you connect with my style and dont feel the need to change that. I do however include about 10 percent black and whites but I almost always include a colored version of that photo too depending on the lighting circumstance. If you feel the need to change the way my style is, I would recommend still searching for the right photographer for you as you should find the right photographer that you truly connect with.
SHOULD WE KNOW HOW TO POSE BEFOREHAND?
Absolutely not, Honestly I would much rather you come as a blank canvas than to try to study poses. Also my kind of posing isn't your normal kind of posing, it is a lot more relaxed and easy! I don't expect you to come as a model. I have completely mastered my techniques and ways of posing so that its more fun, candid and really more like yourself. Just come as you are with no anxiety attached on trying to study poses and you guys will be in amazing hands!
