what kind of photoshoots does HM Photography offer and who would they work best for?

I offer

maternity, couples, engagement, boudoir, branding, family, milestones, birthday, headshots, senior photos, milk baths, all of the above!

for the dreamers and the romantics

the adventurers and sunset seekers

the weirdos who are breaking generational habits

and the mothers just trying to make it out alive

studio sessions are an additional $75 at time of booking due to the studio having an hourly out of pocket cost for me to use!

if you have any questions regarding studio fees - please send me an email prior to booking a date and time!

Look, weddings are chaos. Beautiful, emotional chaos - but chaos nonetheless. I don’t just show up and snap pictures. I run the damn floor. I’ll gently (or not-so-gently) bully the drunk groomsmen into standing where they’re supposed to, politely tell Grandma Gertrude to put her phone down, and make sure your timeline actually works so you get every single shot you want without stressing over a damn thing. In 2025, I captured over 50 weddings, and I’ve got this down to a science, while still keeping it fun, real, and zero stiff vibes.

$3,000? Sure, it does absolutely sound like a lot. But think about this: you’re not paying for me, you’re investing in memories you can’t replace. Memories that last forever. And don’t worry—I shoot with dual SD cards, which is basically insurance for your photos. One fails? No biggie. Your day is still safe. When you book me, you’re not hiring just a photographer. You’re hiring a hype-person, timeline-master, drunk-groomsmen-boss, memory-preserving, chaos-conquering badass who’s going to make sure your wedding day actually rocks.

Booking your wedding photography session is easy! Simply visit the Contact page, fill out the inquiry form, and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours to lock in your date.
