"Better than I could have even imagined"
Mimi was amazing in helping with our engagement. She went far out of her way to help with the details, from location recommendations to helping with setup, making our proposal into a seamless, unforgettable moment. Best of all, the whole time I felt as if I were working with a friend. I can't recommend her enough.

Surprise Proposal
Surprise Proposal
Photos of real moments over staged ones
My laid-back, prompt-led style paired with your connection creates photos that feel genuine and timeless. No awkward half-smiles. No “stand here and look romantic.” We’ll focus on what’s already there - the way you talk to each other, the subtle glances, and the goofy smiles.
Sessions that don't feel like a photoshoot
Most couples show up saying, "sorry, we're awkward..", and by the end of it, nearly everyone leaves saying how easy it was. You don’t need to act “natural” or worry about what to do with your hands. Whether you’re dating, engaged, or celebrating each other for the heck of it, our time together will be me documenting you two as things unfold naturally.
Guided every step of the way
I’ve been working with camera-shy partners, nervous proposers, and couples who swear they're "awkward" since 2014. You don't need to know what to do. It's my job to be your guide - I’ll help you plan, advise on outfits, and step back when it matters. All you have to do is show up and hang out.

"Best decision I made!
Working with Mimi for our engagement photos was the best decision I made! Mimi really cared for these pictures to turn out the way I envisioned instead of just doing things her way. She makes the whole experience so fun so that even someone like me who feels awkward taking pictures felt comfortable, and I couldn't be happier with our photos.

Couple Session
Couple Session
We're awkward...will you tell us how to pose?
Almost every couple shares this concern. You don’t need to know how to pose or act - I’ll guide you with simple prompts. By the end of it, most of my couples leave saying, “That was way easier than I expected".
What if my partner hates photos?
Super common. I keep things relaxed, conversational, and low-pressure - no cheesy posing, no long awkward silences. Even the most camera-shy partners usually end up having fun (and are surprised by it).
What should we wear?
Whatever you feel confident and comfortable in. You'll get my Session Guide at the time of booking to prepare. It'll have tips on how to choose outfits while avoiding overly identical looks so you can still feel like a cohesive unit.
Where do sessions take place?
Any place you want to explore or that feels like you - a park, downtown, at your home. If you have no idea, I'll share local recommendations based on your vision.
Do you retouch images?
Yes. Final images are edited for color, and consistency with light retouching to remove distractions and temporary blemishes. No heavy editing on how you really look so we get the real, timeless photos you'll love.
Let's capture photos you'll love
I've been documenting love stories since 2014 so I've got you. Couple sessions are relaxed, fun, and genuinely you. Expect easy and silly prompts, your favorite music, and a few jokes from me to keep things comfortable. Nothing fake, nothing staged. Just the two of you being yourselves.
