Artful & Intentional Storytelling

Offering both digital and film photography, I provide a variety of ways to turn your once-in-a-lifetime moments into tangible memories. My approach is rooted in creating a space to feel seen, celebrated, and completely yourself. I specialize in capturing love stories and the raw, intimate moments that make them unique to you.

Whether you're exchanging vows beneath a Hawaiian sunset, strolling through the cobblestone streets of Italy, or chasing golden hour in San Diego, I'm here to preserve the magic in the in-between—the laughter, the quiet touches, and the tears of joy. With years of experience and a deep passion for intentional storytelling, I’m not just your photographer—I’m your new best friend, a steady presence, and someone who truly cares about bringing your vision to life. Whether it’s keeping us on the timeline or following you into the fields during Blue Hour, I’ve got your back every step of the way.

This is more than an investment in photos—it's about creating memories that feel timeless, just like your love story. Thank you for being here and trusting me!

Here is how the booking process works…

  • You Inquire: Within 24-48 hours of your inquiry, I will send you an “Intro Packet” based on your selected preferences. This packet will list general pricing packages, add-ons, and more.

  • Consultation Call: If you wish to discuss your vision, purpose, inspiration, and ideal shoot date, I am here to listen. This call allows us to work together to find or create the perfect package for you. I believe in a collaborative approach, ensuring your dream day is fully realized.

  • Confirmation: If we are the right fit, I will send over your contract and invoice to secure a 25% nonrefundable deposit for your shoot. Depending on your session, payment may be broken down into retainers.

  • Pre-Wedding Prep: I will send you an exclusive pre-wedding planning guide with all my tips, a custom questionnaire, timeline planning, recommendations, a vision board, preferred vendors, and more. I personally curated this to ensure you have all the information needed to create the wedding of your dreams. For elopements & portrait sessions, I have special guides curated for you as well.

  • Two Weeks Before the Wedding Day or 72 hours before your portrait session: Your final payment is due, including any last-minute add-ons (film, second shooter, location, specific timing down to the hour). Your session is designed to be flexible, allowing you to make adjustments until that window!

  • Post-shoot: Within 48-72 hours, you will receive 15-25 sneak peek images. Depending on the session type, you will receive your Final Gallery via email!

FAQs

  • For weddings 6-10 weeks, and standard sessions 4-6 weeks! If you want a quicker TAT, please make sure to bring this up during our intro call!

  • YES! Film is one of my favorite ways to capture and preserve your memories. Film is available as both an add-on service and a full service on its own. Most of my packages include at least 1 roll of film, as I feel I cannot provide an authentic Sierra Lorraine Photography experience without film apart from your session.

    Film Starts at $100 per roll and each roll includes 24-36 image. This covers the cost of the film itself as well as developing and scans. I do some light editing on each scan to ensure the colors are correct & exposure is accurate, but I try to maintain the integrity of each scan on its own.

    About 75% of the images on my instagram are film and nearly every client ends up adding 1-2 rolls to their session.

  • Photography is at the core of who I am and has apart of my life since I was 16. I received a Canon T3 for Christmas and began adventuring along the California coast with my sisters and friends capturing our memories. Although it began as a fun hobby, photography has been with me through every season of my life. Through the highs and lows, creating has been my way to express my feelings and the way I see the world. I shot my first wedding in 2021 and went full time in November of 2023. I have so much to learn and grow in, but I truly do not where I would be without this vessel I call a camera and muses I call my clients.

  • It varies depending on the kind of session but unless booking a mini session or film session, you can expect at least 80 images for a base package and the more hours of coverage, the more images you will receive.

    For weddings for each hour of coverage you will receive 75-100 images.

    I try to send all the best images as well as artistic images to ensure a complete gallery. These are your special memories and I never want to hold them hostage. It makes me so giddy as I edit your galleries and find so much pleasuring in delivering you your dream gallery.

  • YES!!! I live for sneak peaks and will try to get your sneak peaks within 48-72 hours. For travel weddings within 1 week!

  • At this time I do not & am not planning to budge on this. For me, the full experience of my photography services includes the editing. I take a documentary-styled approach with a hint of editorial but typically edit in a more true-to-tone manner. I am inspired by old school rom coms, adventure, music, and the love and passion of my clients. This all is incorporated into how I edit your images and the intentionality and love I pour into each image.

    This is why I find it extremely important for clients to love the style of the photographer they book with in order to ensure you’re satisfied with your final images. If issues arise, I am always open to re- editing and doing my best to bring you the best experience, but try not to send raw images as it is only half of the vision and half of the story.

  • Beginning July 2025, Sierra Lorraine Photography will be based in North Carolina! However, I will continue to serve Hawaii & San Diego & you where ever you are.

  • I will send you an email with your personal gallery through drop box and those images will rest there forever. I do not delete anyone’s drop box folder, so if you loose the link, just message me and I can resend. With Dropbox you are able to send the link to all your friends & family where they can download their favorite images from your special day.

    However, I do not store ALL your images there and typically remove them from my SD card 1 month after your shoot and 6 months on my external hard drive as storage is expensive. If you want any specific images, please be sure to inform me sooner rather than later so I can ensure I can send them to you :) I wish I could keep EVERY single photo from your sessions, but unfortunately unable to do so as of right now.

  • I am always offering different promos, special packages, lil discounts & mini sessions so be sure to follow my instagram here and/or subscribe to our newsletter :)

  • Emergencies and life happens and I am always trying to accommodate. However, if it is within 72 hours of your session date and you have a limited time to reschedule to, there may be a rescheule fee. When it comes to weather, I would never want to ruin a session or my equipment with a storm that isn’t going to let up. In those cases, we can work together to find a time to reschedule to (no fee of course). Same goes for any unforeseen circumstances and life situations. I’m on your team but in order to keep balance between my personal life and other client’s sessions, there is the fee in place in order to ensure to that.

    Plus a rain session can be fun from

    time to time ;)

  • I think every photographer has had a moment that made them really prioritize how they store and backup their images. I can attest to the fact that there is nothing more sacred than preserving and protecting your images from the second we begin capturing together to the moment your images are delivered. I shoot every session with two SD cards, add to a secure hard drive, and keep the images on the SD cards until about a month after your final gallery is delivered. I take every precaution possible to ensure your memories are safe and sound with me. A photo session is such a vulnerable experience and I feel so honored you all trust me with such authentic, intentional and intimate moments of your life.

  • If you need a girl and her camera, I am there!!! But in all seriousness I specialize in weddings, intimate weddings, elopements, portraits, couples, brand work, content creation, event photography, film photography & more!!!!!

  • As soon as you know, especially for weddings & elopements. I am already nearly at max for March, May & June of 2025 and anticipating Fall 2025 to get busy real quick. Even if you are unsure your entire plan, starting to communicate sooner rather than later is always encouraged

    For portrait sessions, there is a lot more flexibility but if you are wanting a session to while I am traveling to a specific location, always recommend securing ASAP as dates fill up quickly. For example, my Feb 2025 trip to Oahu is nearly fully booked and I am actively getting more inquiries for that time frame.

    All this to be said, if we are the right fit, I will try my hardest to make every inquiry work. I have taken on full weekend weddings with less than 4 weeks and would do that again and again!!!!

  • In order to secure your date & session rate, you must sign a contract and submit a 25% nonfundable discount. I typically will hold your date for 1-2 weeks but during peak season, I am often getting inquiries for the same date. If you are wanting to book but need time to gather everything together, just keep me in the loop and I am more than happy to accommodate :)

  • At this time I offer the option to add: a second shooter, film, content creator, rush fees, additional hours of coverage & Polaroids

  • The planning begins!! Whether you booked a wedding or a mini session you will receive a custom guide for your specific session niche which includes: preferred vendors, location guides, vision boards, questionnaires, and more!

    In your Initial consult, we typically will briefly go over your vision and vibes. But after is where it gets to the fun stuff. We typically will chat about a month before your session date to finalize all the details. That may include getting creative about your dream location for your engagement session or elopement, or discussing your wedding timeline. I am there every single step of the way and there for every small and big detail. I love planning events and this is my JAM!!!
