My Intentions + Approach
Freckled Fern Film is a visual storytelling practice rooted in nature, embodiment, and lived experience. The work blends documentary, lifestyle, portrait, and cinematic approaches with experimental and conceptual influences to create imagery that feels earthy, emotive, and deeply human.
I approach each session with a journalistic eye and an intuitive, collaborative process. Some moments are allowed to unfold naturally; others are guided with intention, symbolism, and gentle direction. I’m drawn to duality- softness and strength, light and shadow, stillness and movement- and often weave in subtle elements of surrealism and visual metaphor.
Whether documenting everyday connection, personal transitions, or milestone moments, the focus remains the same: to create work that honors how it felt, not just how it looked. Stories unfold in spirals rather than straight lines.
Services + How It Feels To Work Together
I started photography in 2015, developing a love for the craft in the darkroom, working with film, and learning to see the world through light and shadow. After traveling across the U.S. in a van, my cameras collected dust when COVID hit. Now, I’m treating myself as a beginner again; approaching photography with a fresh perspective, curiosity, and a desire to grow my portfolio.
As I rebuild, I’m offering sessions at major discounts or in exchange for bartering, creating opportunities to tell stories and experiment with new ideas while providing value to those I work with.
How it feels to work together:
Sessions are gentle, intuitive, and collaborative. We move at a pace that honors your comfort and story. My focus is on capturing how it felt, not just how it looked. Expect a calm, playful, and intentional experience where your story comes first.
Lifestyle & Family Storytelling – Candid, documentary-style sessions for families, chosen families, and loved ones. These sessions focus on presence, intimacy, and connection rather than posed perfection.
Couples & Intimate Connection – Storytelling sessions for couples, capturing genuine interactions and emotional honesty, whether for milestones, engagement, or just being together.
Portraits & Embodiment Sessions – Collaborative sessions that honor the body, movement, and personal transformation. Great for self-connection, milestones, or reflection.
Scar Stories & Lived Experience Documentation – Visual storytelling honoring bodies and journeys with care, consent, and intention.
Personal, Conceptual, or Experimental Work – Creative sessions exploring symbolism, narrative, and emotion in photography or short film.
