WHO

YOU HIRE

MATTERS

You shouldn’t have to know how to pose, act a certain way, or spend the whole session wondering what to do with your hands. Whether it’s your wedding, your family, senior year, or an idea you want to try, we keep things relaxed, give you direction when you need it, and pay attention to what is actually happening in front of us.

The goal is simple: photos that look good, feel like you, and are worth coming back to.

ABOUT US

Person taking a photo with a camera, wearing a black cap, black gloves, and a dark jacket, with a blurred background and a colorful stained glass window.

CHAD BECKER

a Virgo with the obsession to the little details and making sure nothing gets overlooked. I've always been a creative person, but photography didn't come into my life until later.

Music was my world growing up, and I spent years playing in bands before eventually finding my way behind a camera.

I started out photographing live music, where every show taught me to anticipate moments, work with unpredictable lighting, and tell a story without interrupting it.

Those are the same instincts I bring with me today, just in a very different environment.

JEN LAVOY

I'm a Pisces through and through, bringing an intuitive, calming energy that helps people feel comfortable almost immediately.

I'm here to make sure your family portraits don't become the part of the day everyone dreads.

I have a way of keeping people organized, relaxed, and actually enjoying the process.

From wrangling family members to telling terrible jokes during portraits, I'll keep everything moving so your day feels lighthearted and fun instead of rushed.
