Adventure
Our Adventure Photography sessions are built for people who feel most at home deep in the backcountry, covered in dust, soaked in river water, or chasing light at the top of a climb. If you live for Type Two Fun—the kind that’s hard in the moment but unforgettable afterward—this is for you.
With years of experience fly fishing, hiking, climbing, backpacking, horse packing, and remote camping trips, we know what it takes to operate in wild and unpredictable environments. We’re not just tagging along—we’re prepared, have backcountry medical training, are comfortable off-grid, and are fully capable of keeping pace while documenting your experience with care and intention.
These sessions are relaxed, real, and tailored to the way you move through the landscape. We’ll offer some light direction when needed, but we focus on capturing natural moments, honest interactions, and the grit, beauty, and effort behind your adventure—whether you’re solo, with a partner, or traveling with your dog.
We also assist with planning, logistics, and permitting to help ensure your adventure session runs smoothly from start to finish. Whether you're venturing out for a few hours or a few days, we’ll work with you to choose the right location, timing, and route to align with your goals, comfort level, and story.
This is storytelling for people who don’t mind getting dirty, moving fast, or going farther than they planned—because the best photos come from the real stuff.
Pet
Is your dog reactive, shy, super hyper, nervous around strangers, obsessed with people, or the one who makes the groomer groan? Perfect—I'm the photographer for your dog.
At Apollo and Pep Designs, pet photography is all about meeting your animal exactly where they are. We create a fun, low-pressure environment tailored to your pet’s personality, energy level, and comfort zone. Whether your dog is zooming through the field, hiding behind your legs, or giving us their full goofy grin, we’ll work with patience, care, and plenty of treats or toys (or even just a real good stick) to capture them as they are—beautifully and honestly.
With a background in animal training, rescue work, and a deep understanding of body language and behavior, I specialize in working with dogs who may be unsure of the camera or nervous around new people. We’ll go at their pace, play to their strengths, and make the session feel like a game, an adventure, or a cuddle break—whatever works best for them.
Because at the end of the day, it’s not about perfect poses—it’s about capturing the personality, spirit, and story of the pet you love.
Portraits
At Apollo and Pep Designs, our portrait photography is all about capturing you—authentically, artfully, and with intention. Specializing in outdoor and variable lighting environments, we create portraits that reflect your personality, your story, and the emotion behind the moment. Whether you're celebrating a graduation, marking a milestone, or simply wanting to capture who you are in this season of life, we’re here to make your session feel natural, meaningful, and uniquely yours.
We love working with people who are camera-shy or feel a little awkward in front of the lens. Through gentle direction, movement-based prompts, and active shooting styles (think walking, exploring, interacting with your surroundings), we help you relax and show up just as you are—creating portraits that feel candid, comfortable, and truly you.
We also specialize in expressive black and white photography, with a strong emphasis on lighting and emotion to create timeless, evocative images.
Every session is approached with care, creativity, and an eye for connection—so your photos don’t just look like you, they feel like you.
Family
At Apollo and Pep Designs, we believe the best family photos are the ones that feel alive—full of connection, laughter, movement, and love. Our family photography sessions are designed to capture not just what your family looks like, but who you are—the personalities, dynamics, and in-between moments that make your story unique.
We love including pets, meaningful props, and even turning the session into a little adventure. Whether we're exploring a trail, playing in a field, or just chasing light in your backyard, we aim to make the experience relaxed, playful, and genuinely enjoyable. While we’ll gently guide you through a few posed photos, we focus just as much on the candid moments—those smiles shared with the people and animals you love most.
Our sessions are for every kind of family, in every season of life. Whether you’re documenting a milestone, celebrating retirement, wrangling toddlers, or bringing along your four-legged family members, we’re here to help you create photos that feel real.
Let’s make some memories together—messy, beautiful, and all your own.
Couples
At Apollo and Pep Designs, we celebrate love in all its forms. Our couples photography is rooted in inclusion, authenticity, and storytelling—welcoming and honoring every kind of partnership with open arms. Whether you're marking a milestone, planning a surprise, or simply celebrating the connection you share, we’re here to create photos that feel like you.
We love turning sessions into mini adventures—whether that means exploring a trail, wandering your favorite spot in town, or dancing. While we’ll gently guide you through natural poses to help you feel confident, the heart of our work is in the candid moments: the laughs, quiet glances, and real-time joy of being with the person you love.
No stiff smiles here—just connection, comfort, and creativity. Let’s capture your story in a way that’s honest, beautiful, and completely your own.
Event
At Apollo and Pep Designs, we specialize in documenting outdoor (and sometimes indoor) events with a focus on connection, atmosphere, and the moments that often go unnoticed. From intimate elopements and outdoor weddings, to gatherings, celebrations, and community events, our approach is relaxed, observant, and tailored to the natural flow of your day.
We thrive in outdoor environments—whether that’s a mountain overlook, a wide-open desert, or a forest clearing—and come prepared for the elements and unpredictability that come with working outside. Our background in adventure and backcountry photography means we’re comfortable in remote settings, and we know how to move through events with both presence and discretion.
We offer guidance when needed (especially for portraits or group shots), but our goal is to let the event unfold naturally and tell the story as it happens.
