Pa Couples, Engagement & Portrait Photography

How do you feel when you think about being in front of the camera? 

If you’re like most people, you may find it a bit intimidating. But when you’re envisioning your portraits, you want to feel expressive and beautiful, like your soul is shining through every shot. 

This is where I come in. I help you strike the perfect balance between curated aesthetics and complete confidence, as though you’re not in front of the camera at all. 

From developing the overarching concept for your shoot to helping you ease into candids, I direct the entire process, so you have all the space you need to feel comfortable and truly yourself. 


“It never felt forced—just genuinely enjoyable, and Skylar made us feel completely comfortable the entire time!”

“Working with Skylar has been such an amazing experience. She was incredibly easy to communicate with and fully committed to bringing our vision to life—from choosing the perfect location at the college where we met to matching the colors and overall vibe we imagined.

This was the first time my fiancé and I had professional photos taken, so we were definitely nervous going in. During the session, Skylar took the time to really listen to what we wanted while also offering her expert guidance. She encouraged us to ask each other fun, silly questions and simply walk, talk, and be ourselves.

Before the session ended, she made sure we were both completely happy with how everything felt, always putting her clients first. She even sent us sneak peeks within the same week, which made us so excited and confident about the full gallery to come. We’re so happy we chose Skylar.”

“My photos turned out gorgeous across the board. Skylar truly has an eye for portraiture. I cannot wait to work with her again!”

“Skylar is a gem! The best of the best. I have been in showbiz for over a decade and can recognize genuine professional talent when I see it. From the prep and planning stages of the shoot, Skylar was attentive, calming, and remarkably diligent. I never felt like I had to pull teeth for ideas, responses, or even a simple email/text. She was always on top of everything. During the shoot, the hour flew by—it was seamless and I never felt uncomfortable."
