can’t wait to celebrate you + your legacy

in Phoenix and Boston +
wherever you’ll take me...

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • Send me a message and we will go from there. I got you - we will chat out your vision and how I can help make this fun + stress-free.

  • I take on two intimate love-celebrations per year. This allows me to give my all to your celebration or elopement as well as my families and branding clients. Getting hitched and doing things different? I’m your gal.

  • For the best almost-10 years. I knew that I was meant to love on people in this way when I was in high school.

  • We live (mostly) full-time in Phoenix, but spend most summers between Boston and other fun areas of the country + world. Wanna know where in the world I am? Shoot me an email here

  • This depends heavily on which service you are hiring me for but this is what I promise: You will get the best of the best from our time together. I don’t hold back, honey. I believe my people deserve the whole story so your final gallery will be filled with all the gorgeous moments you dish out + more. I don’t believe in delivering only a set amount of images and cutting your story off short. I capture you fully so that when you look back at these images, you are reminded of how amazing you are.

  • There are some factors here (time of year and what service you hired me for) but my typical turnaround is 4-weeks. This may vary but don’t worry… I will send you some yummy sneak peeks within a week of your session and always communicate beforehand when you should expect your final gallery. Ya girl loves a good deadline.

  • This is a no for me dawg. I believe my people deserve my best and part of that is my editing expertise.

  • My workflow typically stays within Lightroom but I am a wiz in Photoshop when needed. Part of my approach is “come as you are” and integrity when editing is important to me. Now, don’t worry - that stupid pimple that decided to show up the day of your session won’t be part of your legacy images. But if you are looking for images that are heavily edited and curated, I’m not your girl. You are the art - don’t forget that.

  • Generally, I require a signed contract and 50% deposit in order to secure your session & date. Until those are received, you are not booked. Depending on the service, we will come up with a payment plan that works for both of us. All payments are due by the day of your session. All outstanding payments will incur a late fee and you will not receive your gallery until all payments are paid.

  • Honey, I got you. The non-negotiables are 1) you feel fiiiiiiiiine 2) you feel comfortable. Color + style just don’t matter if you don’t feel those two things. Once we’ve got those two things we can work together on colors, textures, and layering. The wardrobe is effected by weather, and location and if you are wanting a certain vibe so throw your options on or on your bed and send me a text. We will chat it all out and make sure you walk into your session ready to KILL IT.

  • Life happens. I totally get it. If something comes up, just text me. We will come up with a plan that works for us both. All payments are final so rescheduling is what I’m working for. In the case of bad weather, I watch the weather like a hawk. If we need to move the time or reschedule, we will work that out the week of. I plan “rainy-day” dates in each photography season calendar.

  • This is a team effort. I’ll ask you questions and together, we will create something really beautiful. I can help you with your wardrobe as well as find the perfect spot(s) for your session. Logistics such as permits and timing are also areas I can help with.

  • I do - but this is something I will let you know about beforehand and work into our quote.

  • I don’t and my rates are firm. I also don’t offer “mini” sessions since they do not align with my approach.

  • You’ll find me at Sweetgreen like waaayyy too often.

MY APPROACH

What to expect from working with me

let go + have fun

The magic comes when you let down your guard and let out your personality. It’s important to me that you feel comfortable enough to do that. So leave your stress at the door, and let’s have fun! We’ll get your “look at me and smile” shots, but trust me, it’s the in-between that really sparkles. You can relax because I got you.

invest

If you know me, you know I’m all about photography as Legacy. It is a choice to get in front of the camera and document your life. And it is an investment; of both time and money. Our session(s) together will capture a piece of your history. A fragment that you will be able to look back and feel all over again. If you entrust me with your Legacy, I promise we’ll bottle today’s magic to hang onto for years to come.

communicate + participate

Babes, I want to give you the most amazing photos. I will use my my knowledge, my eye, my expertise to take the most magical photographs I am able. But the end result depends on everyone involved. I need you to communicate your needs and your vision to me. Have an idea for a photo you’d like to get? I’m all ears! I’m here to help make your vision a reality. To remind you, the photos with the most meaning come from those in-between moments. I need your participation so we can find those moments together.

limited availability

I’m a future doctor by day and photographer by night, so my I book out quickly. I’m based on both coasts (Phoenix, AZ, and Boston, MA) so reach out even if you’re not sure and we will create something beautiful, together.

love is love

And people are people. It is my hope that everyone would feel comfortable working with me, and I aim to be a safe space for LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples. I would love to laugh + cry + play with your kids + tell your story. My shutter is open.

 awesome things people have said

 

“Autumn is equally professional, skilled, and fun. From the start, she made our whole experience easy and enjoyable. She was quick to respond to all my preliminary questions, she made my teenage boys laugh and even enjoy our family photo shoot (not an easy task), and she was patient with my shyness and uncertainties when it came to my head shots. Not to mention that the quality of her work rates superior to others. You'll be hard-pressed to find a better photographer.”

autumn - wellness

Want to know more about the future-doctor thing?

It’s not about the money or prestige for me. It’s about wellness. It’s about helping people make changes to prevent illness instead of treating conditions after they become a problem. After experiencing health issues in my own life, I learned how much I didn’t know about how connected the body is. If any of this sounds interesting, I’d love to share what I am learning.
