CAPTURING THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER MOST
Creative, emotional imagery that makes you feel.
-
While I have 7+ years of experience documenting everything from weddings to high school seniors, I have recently decided to focus primarily on what I feel most passionate about — love stories. This includes couples, engagements, weddings & elopements.
I still reserve availability for a limited number of family & portrait sessions each year, so keep an eye out for those announcements on my Instagram @skystocktonphoto.

First and foremost, I always prioritize enjoyment for my couples. Feeling confident & at ease with me will always beat the perfect pose or frame—whether we’re running on the beach, lying in a field, or shaking off nerves before your big day.
Because of this, my guidance during a session mixes documentary-style with an editorial flair: focusing on creating real laughter & genuine moments rather than rigid posing and making sure every little hair stays in place. Love is messy, playful, intimate, and passionate, and I want my work to reflect that.

My ideal client is someone who, most importantly, has a deep love for and connection with their partner. You’re not afraid to pull them in for a kiss (even if it takes a little encouragement from me!) and proudly call each other your best friend. At the end of the day, that’s what matters most.
We might get along if: you love the outdoors and spending time under the sun. You have a furry, four-legged bestie (my pup’s name is Bodie). You’ll unapologetically pay $8 for a latte at your favorite local coffee shop. You spend wayyy too much time on Pinterest.

FAQs
01. Where can I find more detailed session information?
Shoot me a message through this site (see the button above!) if you are interested in a particular session, and I’ll send you all of the details—including the number of locations, outfits, and photos! I look forward to hearing from you!
02. What do we wear for photos?
Don’t stress about clothes! I love helping clients pick out their outfits and making sure everything coordinates with our locations. After booking, I always share my “what to wear” guide which includes helpful tips + a customized Pinterest board for inspiration!
03. How long is your turnaround time?
My typical turnaround time for senior, couples, and family sessions is about 3-4 weeks, but I will be sure to send over a few previews before then to give you a taste of what the full gallery will look like! For weddings, the turnaround time varies a bit more, but we can talk through everything during our pre-wedding consultation.
04. How long have you been a photographer?
I’ve been playing with cameras for fun since I was in middle school, everything from photoshoots with friends to GoPro travel videos. Eventually, I started doing it more professionally when I was 16, after buying my first camera and shooting a few weddings and sessions for friends and family. Now, at 22 years old, I’m lucky to have called photography my job for over 6 years.
05. Do you help with planning?
ABSOLUTELY. A big part of my job as your photographer is to make sure all of the pre-shoot details (location, outfits, timing, etc.) are planned out and tailored to your liking. Before our shoot, we’ll work together to make sure your session is planned to perfection—whether that means a laid-back hike through the woods or running around on the beach.
06. What if we have bad weather?
Changes in weather are inevitable, so I’ll do my best to be flexible with whatever mother nature brings us—all I ask is that you do the same! Beautiful photos can come out of overcast or even rainy days, but in the event that it’s unsafe for us to be outside, I’ll always send over reschedule options, free of charge.
07. Do you share RAW files/images?
No. A large part of what makes my work unique is the edit, and so sending out RAW images would be similar to delievering a project half-finished. Furthermore, my job as your photographer includes sorting through the images I take and delivering all the best moments back to you. I ask that my clients trust me, and in turn, I promise to never leave anything of value out of your set. If you feel that I’ve missed something, let me know!
08. Do you shoot videos, too?
Yes! My partner Dylan and I are both pursuing film degrees in LA, and we co-run a production company called Vea Productions specializing in commercials, brand films, wedding videos, and creative projects. If you’d like to reach out to us there, go to the bottom of my website and click “videography.”
09. What if I want photos of something not listed?
While I specialize in seniors, couples/weddings, and families, I want to help you capture your memories at every occasion! Other moments I shoot include (but are not limited to) graduations, birthdays, events, and even editorial-style photography. If you have a project or event in mind, don’t hesitate to reach out for a custom quote! I’d love to be there.
