I’m not going to sit here and tell you I’m not like other photographers. That’s for you to discover.

What I will say is that my biggest goal is to capture your love in a way that feels real—every stolen glance, every quiet touch, every deep belly laugh. I want you to feel like two teenagers who can’t stop reaching for each other, no matter how many years have passed.

This kind of love—the wild, unfiltered, once-in-a-lifetime kind—deserves to be documented in a way that feels just as raw and timeless as the landscapes around you. Let’s capture the in-between moments—the ones that make your story yours. Because the way your hands fit together, the way the wind tangles in your hair, the way the ocean kisses the shore—those are the moments you’ll want to remember forever.

Real Moments, Wild Landscapes, and True Connection

"I absolutely love working with Payton, and have a few times now. She’s got a wonderful eye for detail and for setting the scene. Even in an old church parking lot, she can find beautiful spots for photos. She is positive, fun and always smiling behind the camera. She knows how to make you feel relaxed and comfortable, so you get the most lovely pictures both posed and candid.
I love my photos from Payton, and you will too!! I 100% recommend hiring her if you want the kind of pictures you can’t stop looking at."

You deserve photos that bring you back to the quiet beauty of your moments together—the way your hands find each other, the soft laughter, the love in every glance. I move with ease, letting your story unfold naturally, unnoticed in the background. No loud directions or interruptions, just the stillness to let you be fully present. Every shared adventure, every tender laugh deserves to be remembered just as it was—beautifully yours.

You deserve photos that don’t just capture a moment but make you feel it all over again. These aren’t just pictures—they’re the memories you’ll look back on and cherish forever. Every glance, laugh, and adventure you share deserves to be documented in a way that tells your story.
