Hey everyone!

It has almost officially been ONE YEAR of being a full-time photographer and running an LLC, and TWO YEARS of Winger Creative, a dream and passion that turned into my full-time job. 🥹📸

First, I want to say THANK YOU. To everyone who has trusted me with your growing families, wedding days, milestones, and so much more. This past year has truly changed my life for the better, and I couldn’t have done it without you!

With that said, I have some BIG BUSINESS UPDATES! Starting October 1st, my photo session prices are increasing and my wedding packages are changing.

Since deciding to pursue photography full-time, I’ve learned A LOT about running a business. I’ve also worked hard to find a balance between keeping photography accessible and making sure Winger Creative the business is sustainable. I never want money to be the reason someone doesn’t document a special season of their life, but I also want to make sure I’m valuing my time, experience, and the work that goes into every session and wedding.

I’m really excited about these changes and feel confident that they reflect where Winger Creative is headed!

BUT, if you’ve been thinking about booking, NOW is the time!

➡️➡️ For the entire month of September, I’m honoring my current pricing for all sessions and weddings booked before October 1st. ⬅️⬅️

This means that any session booked with a signed contract before October 1st will be at my current rate (see below)!

📸 Sessions:
30 min | $100 | 20+ photos | 1 Location
60 min | $200 | 50+ photos | 2 Locations (optional)
90 min | $300 | 80+ photos | 2 Locations (optional)

💍 2027 WEDDINGS: I’ll also honor my current wedding packages for anything booked (with a signed contract and down payment to save your date) during the month of September!

So if you’ve been waiting to book… THIS IS YOUR SIGN!

More details on the NEW pricing + packages on the “Business Update” link in my bio, or keep reading!

⬇️⬇️⬇️

Starting October 1, 2026:

// For sessions //

I have learned that no matter what type, I put the same amount of love and effort into taking and editing the photos. I will continue to offer an hourly rate across the board!

Mini Sessions (offered seasonally) - 20 minutes | $100 | 10+ photos

Year-Round Sessions Offered
-30 minutes | $150 | 20+ photos
-45 minutes | $200 | 35+ photos
-60 minutes | $250 | 50+ photos

// For weddings and other events //

I’ve learned that having only two wedding packages doesn’t allow for enough flexibility to accommodate every couple and their unique wedding day. Moving forward, my packages will be more customizable so I can better serve each couple’s specific needs!

I’ve also learned the importance of fairly compensating my second shooter, who is most often my husband, Trent. He has sacrificed countless nights and weekends to help me grow this business, and I will forever be grateful for his support. At the same time, I’ve seen how demanding a 10-hour wedding day can be on top of his already busy full-time career.

As I’ve gained more experience and confidence with each wedding, I’ve learned what works, what doesn’t, and what I need to make each wedding day the best experience possible!

Hourly coverage for events - $200 (does not include extra/engagement shoot but you can add one!) | 50+ photos/hr

-6 hr package | $1200 | 300+ photos | Includes complimentary 30 minute engagement shoot
-8 hr package | $1600 | 400+ photos | Includes complimentary 45 minute engagement shoot
-10 hr package | $2000 | 500+ photos | Includes complimentary 60 minute engagement shoot

Add ons-
-Rehearsal dinner and additional hours - 200/hr
-Second shooter pricing - $70/hr (best for weddings with multiple locations for getting ready!)

a wedding day in black and white 🕶️🪩💍🤍

I haven’t seen a party like this one yet, everyone (and I mean everyone) was on the dance floor until the send off at the end of the night!!

When I deliver a gallery, I try to be very intentional about the black and white photos. It’s never a photo that doesn’t have a duplicate of some kind, either the subject already appears in another photo of the same kind, the pose is only slightly different, or I literally create a copy of the photo so you can have it in both black and white AND in color. No matter what, black and white photos can really be a vibe (ESPECIALLY on the dance floor 🪩💃🕺)

did you really think I could go on vacation and NOT bring my camera 📸

Lauren Winger and I have been sending each other inspo photos for this photoshoot idea for weeks and we FINALLY got to do it! Thank you to both Lauren and James for not only being willing to be in these photos but stand out in the rain and fall into a lake 🌦️🌊

More photos coming very soon 🤩

Even a gal who works mostly from home needs some time “out of office”! I just wanted to hop on here and let you know that I will be on a weekend trip with family starting this afternoon in order to rest and recover from a busy summer season (and also enjoy some more sun before it’s gone!).

Feel free to DM, email, and book sessions as usual and I will make sure to respond when I get home on Monday, August 24!

Also, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for keeping me booked and busy this summer. It will never be taken for granted that I get to do what I love every day 🥰

The best part about working weddings with Trent Winger is that he gets to hang with the groom and groomsmen all day and I get to come back at the end of the day and see all of the adventures they went on 😂

This was wedding/event #5 for the year, 4 of them I worked with Trent as my second photographer. I’m so so lucky to be able to do this with my husband, and even luckier that he puts the “party” in bridal party photos! Just imagine me going through photos after a long day and laughing SO hard at the shenanigans he got on camera 📸

This session felt like we were in a record store and I was absolutely living for it 🤩🤩

This session was chaotic to plan because of the wildfire smoke that happened a month ago, we originally planned to meet at a park but for the safety of the family and specifically their little girl, we moved it inside. Turns out they had the COOLEST house in GR, with gorgeous wood floors and the biggest collection of music I’ve ever seen!!

Let this be a reminder that you don’t need to leave your house to get photos of your family, the photos might actually feel more authentic to who you are!

✨details✨

Detail shots are quickly becoming one of my favorite parts of the wedding day! It’s usually the first thing done when I arrive at a venue, just a moment of quiet and artistry before the events start happening. It’s just me, my camera, and important little pieces of a larger story to be told. It’s the invites that brought family together, rings that symbolize a forever kind of love, shoes that will be worn on the most exciting day of a relationship, and florals that bring color and beauty to an already beautiful day.

Some of my favorite items I’ve used in detail shots include:

- perfume/cologne bottles
- bride and groom’s shoes (sometimes reception shoes too!)
- the beautiful gold ring tray seen in slide two
- groom’s cufflinks and boutonniere
- bride’s tiara
- a paper fan from the venue
- flower clippings from all of the arrangements and bouquets
- deer antlers (photos to come, this was sweet)
- the actual marriage license that will be signed later that day!

If you’re a bride or groom who needs ideas of what to include for your detail shots, save this post! The most important part of detail shots is that the pieces are special to you and your love story 💍
