Most photos capture what you look like.

These capture what it feels like to be you
or to be together.

The Unfiltered Series is built around one idea: connection

THE SERIES

This is not a one-size-fits-all type of session.

This is a space to document a relationship
or a version of yourself
that you don’t want to forget

This might look like:

A mother and daughter in a season that’s shifting
You and your parent, honoring time together
You and your partner, just as you are
A moment of personal change or reflection
A version of yourself you’re stepping into

Or simply:

you, as you are right now

Within the Unfiltered Series, your session can take shape in a way that feels like you:

As I Am
A session focused on you

As We Are
A session focused on connection

Simply Us
A softer, relationship-centered experience

You don’t need to fit into a category.
We shape the session around what matters to you.

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

This session is about connection without performance.

Not overly posed. Not overly styled. Not forced.

More grounded. More honest. More you.

Movement is welcome
Stillness is welcome
Laughter is welcome
Silence is welcome

You don’t need to perform anything

You just need to show up

THE EXPERIENCE

A Guided, Natural Session

You don’t need to know how to pose.

I’ll guide you through the entire session in a way that feels natural and easy. I’m watching how you move, how you interact, and helping you lean into that.

This is less about posing
and more about being present

Hair & Makeup (Elevated, Not Overdone)

Hair and makeup is included and done onsite.

The goal is simple: you, at your best

Polished, natural, and true to you
never overdone
never unrecognizable

We enhance what’s already there
we don’t hide it

Studio Setting

All sessions take place in a clean, minimal studio in Silver Spring, MD.

Soft light
Subtle shadows
Neutral backgrounds

Nothing distracting
just space for you to show up fully

What to Wear

Keep it simple.

Bring two looks:
• One relaxed and comfortable
• One more expressive or bold

You don’t need to match
you don’t need to overthink it

The only question that matters:

Does this feel like me?
Does this feel like us?

Music Changes Everything

Music is a big part of this experience.

We’ll play your music
the songs that shift your energy
the ones tied to memory
the ones you can’t sit still to

It helps you stop thinking
and start feeling

And that’s where the best images live

THE INSTANT REVEAL

We don’t wait.

After your session, you’ll view your images right away.

While the energy is still there
while the moments still feel fresh

You’ll sit together
look through them
laugh
notice things you didn’t even realize were happening

From there, you’ll choose the images that feel most like you

Most clients choose to turn these into:
• printed storybooks
• wall pieces
• curated collections

Because this isn’t just about seeing your photos

It’s about keeping them

WHY THIS MATTERS

These sessions become more meaningful over time.

Because the version of you
or the version of your relationship

will change

And this becomes something you can come back to

A reminder of who you were
how it felt
what mattered
