COUPLES & ENGAGEMENTS
Your engagement or couples session should feel like an experience that captures the real way you love each other. Whether we are exploring the Washington coast wandering through the pines chasing golden light in the mountains or staying close to home in a place that matters to you I am here to create images that feel honest warm and beautifully connected.
I use a film inspired cinematic approach that focuses on emotion movement and the tiny moments that say everything about your relationship. You can expect gentle guidance a calm presence and a session that feels more like hanging out with someone who truly sees you.
Your photos should reflect the way your love feels right now and the season of life you are in. I am here to help you remember it exactly as it is.
We begin with a conversation to make sure we’re aligned in vision, aesthetic, and approach.
I plan with the way moments feel in mind, allowing photography to blend seamlessly into the love you share rather than lead it.
Moments are gently guided, carefully observed, and preserved exactly as they are lived.
A carefully curated collection of images that feel cinematic, warm, and true to your story.
A relaxed and comfortable session that feels natural and fun
Gentle posing guidance that helps you connect without feeling stiff
Cinematic imagery with warm nostalgic tones

Location and clothing styling guidance for mountains coast forests or urban backdrops
A meaningful experience that celebrates your relationship
Couples and engagement sessions are designed to feel relaxed, natural, and thoughtfully guided. Each session includes up to one hour of shooting time with gentle posing direction and styling support, so you feel comfortable and confident while your connection unfolds naturally. You will receive 30 hand-edited images, carefully curated with attention and care. Pricing begins at $400, with the option to purchase additional images..
I love the look and feel of vintage film and Super8 and I offer these as optional additions to your session coverage. Film brings a softness and depth that feels timeless and Super8 adds movement nostalgia and emotion in a way that digital alone cannot. These additions are perfect for couples who want their gallery to feel warm artistic and full of memory rich texture.

I couldn't recommend Svanna anymore highly, she did an amazing job. We worked together to set up a photo shoot as a disguise for me proposing to my girlfriend. It worked, she had no idea and was genuinely surprised. In case anyone is wondering she said yes thankfully. Svanna captured the moment perfectly on camera and we'll have that for a lifetime thanks to her. Svanna will be our first and only call for any future photos.

"We had the absolute best experience with our photographer! My boyfriend and I had a couples photo session in Seattle, and she made the entire experience so comfortable, fun, and natural. We did our photos at the University of Washington library, and she did such an amazing job capturing the beauty of the location while also making our photos feel super personal and romantic!!"

Svanna is truly the best at what she does. My fiancé and I wanted to take our engagement photos at the mountains, but we were unable to do so because of the floods. Svanna provided some alternatives that would work for our vision, and we could not be happier with the results.

I'm a West Coast photographer married to my high school sweetheart and mom, roles that shape how deeply I value connection, presence, and the fleeting seasons of life.
Beyond photography, I am a combat sports competitor who loves stepping into the ring and surprising people with that side of me.
The balance between softness and strength influences how I see the world and how I capture love. I am endlessly inspired by vintage cameras, film, and Super8, drawn to the nostalgia and history they carry and to creating images that feel timeless, artistic, and full of meaning.
