Hi, I’m Justine, a Portland, Maine-based photographer drawn to real moments and real people.
My sessions are relaxed, candid, and a little unpolished in the best way. I care way more about genuine emotion than perfect posing. I’m also a big believer that everyone deserves to feel seen, safe, and celebrated exactly as they are.
If you think you’re awkward in photos or “not photogenic”, you’re exactly who I love working with. I’ll casually guide you while we talk, laugh, and move naturally so you’re never left wondering what to do, but you also never feel posed. The goal isn’t perfection, it’s real connection, and photos that actually feel like you.

“Nothing felt awkward or staged, and half the time you would never have known there was someone taking photos.”
“You’ll walk away with gorgeous photos and an all-around great experience.”
