for the joyful and deeply
in love romantics  wanting to capture the real, in between moments

HERE’S ALL THE JUICY DETAILS YOU CAME FOR

the investment

You deserve to work with a photographer who is crazy about YOU! The truth is, I am NOT the photographer for everyone and that also means not everyone is the client for me. We are all so unique in so many ways that I never want to rob your story of the opportunity to be better told by another creative.

That is why choosing your photographer is CRUCIAL. If you choose someone you don’t vibe with and have nothing in common with, your special day will not be the best it can be.

I am here to ensure that we are the best fit for each other! For me, it is very important that you choose me because you trust me to capture all the moments from big to small, you love my work and style, and quite frankly, because you enjoy my personality! When you choose someone you like just as much as they like you, man does it really make ALL the difference!

You wish to design a day meant to honor and CELEBRATE your love story rather than the most popular trends

You don’t chase after perfection. You’re very go with the flow and TRUST the process of creating ART rather than wanting to mimic it! 

You prefer candid and unposed photos UNIQUE to you and your love rather than impersonal, scripted, and stiff photos

You love to LAUGH and you’re not afraid to be SILLY! You’re down for crazy prompts and aren’t worried about potentially looking a tad bit ridiculous!

You desire to remember the ORGANIC and REAL moments of your day rather than a series of orchestrated events 

I'm the photographer for you if:

You care more about how your wedding day FEELS rather than how it looks!

You love ADVENTURE. You find it fun exploring new places or trying a new activity! You are in search of pictures that are out of the box and ORIGINAL

You love a DOCUMENTARY approach to capturing in-the-moment imagery rather than their performative “perfect” versions

You think ice cream is a dessert to be had EVERY day! (Maybe even multiple times?) 

You’re already screaming YASSSS WHERE DO I BOOK YOU?

I'm the photographer for you if:

My husband and I booked Paula for a couples shoot and we loved the experience! Paula is so thorough in preparing beforehand, answering any questions you may have, and communicates in a timely manner throughout the process. She has great insight and vision in each place and will guide you throughout the pictures. She made the session so fun and helped ease any anxiety/camera shyness we had. She captured so beautifully the love, joy and real smiles that I had envisioned when going into this shoot. We left the session feeling so confident that our pictures would turn out great and they did. The pictures were quality and had a beautiful finish to them! Paula is so genuine and down to earth and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We loved working with her and the quality of her work and hope to work with her again in the future!

"we couldn't have asked for a better experience!"

I'm based in Chelmsford, MA (about 30 minutes north of Boston!). I consider all locations within 1 hour of driving distance from me local, with minimal fees after that. I also serve couples worldwide! If you're inquiring about a destination elopement, wedding, or session I would 100% be down to travel to you!

Where are you located?

UH YES PLEASE. I absolutely love traveling and exploring new places and cultures! I can meet you where you are or we can both meet somewhere new! Either way, I would love to hear all about it :) 

Be sure to check my travel schedule to see where in the world I will be!

Do you travel?

Travel is free within 1 hour of driving distance from me with minimal fees about that. If you are 2+ hours away, my travel expenses include overnight accommodations and, when flying out of state, a roundtrip flight from the Boston or Manchester airports (my local airpots) to the closest airport in your location, 2-3 nights lodging, transportation during my stay, and food per diem. For international travel, inquire for a custom quote. I always try to get the best deals so we can reduce your quote as much as possible! 

what are your travel expenses?

I want you to get the very best of my work when I deliver your gallery. To do this, I make sure to take my time in the editing process so that all of the photos in your gallery truly document the experience you had.

With that said, I typically deliver galleries within 3 weeks of your session date and Elopements and Weddings within 6 weeks. But, don't worry, I always send out sneak peeks within 5 days!

What Is Your Turnaround Time?

Nope! This is why it's so important to me that you've taken the time to look at my work and editing style. The final edit on your photos is part of the experience and a HUGE part of my art! I mean, you wouldn't ask a professional chef to serve you a raw and uncooked meal would you? ;)

Do You Give Out RAW (Unedited) Photos?

I will not. My goal is to deliver photos that authentically represent the real you! You are already drop dead GORGEOUS (or hella HANDSOME if you're a dude!) and that's the beauty I want showcased in your galley, not a fake altered version of you. However, if something temporary popped up the day of your photos (pimples always appear at the worst times huh?), I will gladly edit that out for you :)

Will You Photoshop Us?

Part of your investment with me is that I will walk you through all of this! Once you book with me, I will be sending you my outfit guide as a resource for you in preparation for your session. You also have access to me to talk through any ideas or ask for feedback!

What Do We Wear To Our Photoshoot?

Along with my outfit guide, I will also be sending you my location guide which is full of local options for you to look through! For destination sessions and elopements, I always research locations online beforehand and then try to go scout in person once I arrive! (One of the reasons I like to schedule my flights a day or two early) 

Where can we take photos?

Let's be honest, we all probably feel a bit awkward in front of the camera. But we're not going to let this stop you from documenting one of the greatest days of your life! I am here to help you feel comfortable and safe. You can count on me to guide you through every step of the way and capture your unique love and story authentically. 

what if I'm camera shy?

I do not. Part of the reason I charge what I charge is because I don't want to have to overbook (to make up for the discounted amount in some way) and therefore show up to any elopement, wedding, or session physically, emotionally, and/or creatively tired. I want to show up as my best self for you and I can only do that when I am consistent with my pricing. 

Do You Offer Discounts?

I am always checking the weather for us! Depending on the forecast, I will likely suggest that we go all in and embrace it or suggest to reschedule if I truly believe it will either impact your photos negatively or be of danger to you, myself, or my gear!

What Happens If The Weather Is Bad?

In the unfortunate event that you need to cancel or reschedule your date and you've already booked with me, your retainer is non-refundable. In order to book a new date, I will send out a new contract and a new retainer will need to be paid. 

What If We Cancel/Reschedule Our Date?

While I don't plan on missing your big day, the possibility does exist that I could be incredibly hurt, pregnant, or going through a family emergency. If this were to happen, I would immediately find a competent and trustworthy replacement to photograph your big day. However, I will still take care of all of the editing so that you are still getting my brand and style!

What Happens If You Can’t Be At Our Wedding?

I am 100% here for you!! Whether that is by location scouting and providing you with outfit advice for your session or sharing with you my favorite wedding vendors and helping with your timeline, you can count on me to be there with an answer for your questions! You have complete access to me and I am as hands-on or hands-off as you'd like :)  

Do You Help In The Planning Process?

I love seeing my couples grow their family and for returning clients, I do offer family sessions! If we've never worked together before but you are interested in a family session, reach out and I will let you know if I have any availability at the time :) Additionally, I do take limited senior graduation sessions every Spring. Graduating is a BIG accomplishment and I love celebrating big accomplishments!! Inquire to find out about my availability:)

Do You Photograph Families, Seniors, Etc.?

In order to save your date, I do require a signed contract and retainer fee! For Sessions, a 50% retainer fee is required with the remainder due 1 week prior to your session date. For Elopements and Weddings, a $1,000 retainer fee is required with the remainder split into 2 additional payments.
