LET'S WORK TOGETHER
I’m here for more than the photos - I’m here for the moments that make them.
I believe the real and beautiful moments are the ones that happen naturally, without forced posing or awkward direction. I want you to be able to relive your entire experience through your gallery and film, including all the hilarious and spontaneous memories that make your story truly unique. From the moment we meet, my biggest intention is to build a genuine relationship with you both. When we create that connection, it allows you to fully open up in front of the camera.
THE EXPERIENCE
Oregon, PNW, & Everywhere in between
Heart-led Storytelling
Your Love Story is spontaneous, messy, adventurous, emotional + Worthy of being told in the most Beautiful & Authentic way.
It's easy to get caught up in how things should look—scrolling through Instagram, chasing perfect poses. But the most meaningful photos and films don’t come from a checklist. They come from real connection, genuine moments, and a day that feels like you.
You deserve more than someone who just shows up with a camera. I’m not here to direct your experience—I’m here to help shape it with you from the beginning, so that what we create reflects your story, not someone else's idea of it.
Whether it’s your wedding, your elopement, or a quiet story session at home, you’ll spend a lot of time with your photographer and filmmaker. That’s why it matters to have someone who supports your vision, makes space for who you are, and shows up fully invested in your story.
Before the camera ever comes out, I take time to get to know you both—how you met, what you love, what makes your connection so uniquely yours. That way, when the day arrives, I can step back and document what’s unfolding instead of forcing something that doesn’t feel like you.
Whether we’re hiking a trail, exploring your venue, or hanging out in your kitchen making coffee, I’ll be there to guide when it’s needed—and to blend in when it’s not. My goal is to help you feel fully present, so the experience itself is just as memorable as the final gallery or film.
I always begin by reading the space and light, tuning in to your energy, and noticing the details you’ve put care into—whether that's a handwritten note, a quiet touch, or the view you chose to share it all in. I’m here to create alongside you, not just for you.
No matter what your session looks like, my role is to support you both so you can live in the moment. The result? Images and films that look beautiful—because they felt real.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHERE ARE YOU BASED?
DO YOU TRAVEL?
WHY PHOTOGRAPHY?
DO YOU SHOOT FILM & SUPER 8?
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET OUR PHOTOS BACK?
Our team is based out of Eugene OR. We consider anywhere within 3-4 hours of Eugene as local to us!
WHAT IS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY STYLE?
Yes!!! If you’ve got an adventurous location in mind- I am ready!
We describe our style as a mix of documentary and intentional.
We're not here to overly pose or direct every moment—we’re here to observe, to anticipate, and to capture things as they naturally unfold. Our goal is for you to look back and feel like you’re right there in the moment again.
We lean into the real stuff—the unfiltered, in-between moments that show your connection exactly as it is. That’s where the most meaningful stories live.
With a True-to-color, warm and timeless edit.
I’m absolutely in love with the love I get to witness between people.
One of my favorite things about this work is that it takes me into so many different stories and places I wouldn’t otherwise be. I get to be there for the quiet moments and the loud ones—the nerves, the laughter, the happy tears, and all the little in-betweens that make your relationship yours.
I feel honored every time I get to document the way you love and live alongside each other.
Our team shoots both digital and film—because each medium tells your story in its own beautiful way. To make sure nothing is missed, we typically require two photographers for your day: one to focus on digital and one to focus entirely on film.
We also offer Super 8 video, which brings a nostalgic, artful feel to your story. It’s perfect for capturing the emotion, movement, and little details in a way that feels timeless and truly personal.
Together, these formats help us create a gallery (and films) that feel like you—real, layered, and unforgettable.
I will deliver photos as soon as I can! I give myself 6-12 weeks for weddings and 3-4 weeks for portrait sessions. Depending on my schedule, I can deliver photos even sooner, so keep an eye on your email! I know waiting for your photos can be the worst, but trust me … I’m making sure your photos get delivered in the best possible quality.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes! Other than the retainer due at signing and the remainder due a week/ month before, we can set up a payment plan however you would like!
WHAT IS HYBRID (PHOTO & VIDEO)?
Hybrid coverage is a blend of photography and video, captured by one person—you’ll get timeless photos and a 4–6 minute highlight film with curated clips from your day. Photography is my priority, but I also film key moments to capture the movement, emotion, and energy of your celebration. It’s a natural, personal way to relive your day—without needing a full video team.

She did our engagement photos, wedding photos, and highlight video, and they all turned out amazing.
I was pretty nervous to do the engagement session, as I’m not accustomed to getting my photo taken, but Kiarha made it so easy and comfortable. Not only did the photos turn out great, but we had the best time taking them. She delivered all of the photos so quickly too!
At the wedding, Kiarha and her assistant went above and beyond providing help and encouragement throughout the whole day. I felt like I had a friend and ally throughout the entire process. They pinned dresses, brought water, impressively directed a huge group of family members into, oh and also captured each special moment on camera. The photos and video she delivered were natural and beautiful, and delivered right on time. A number of family and friends commented afterwards just how easy they were to work with. I would highly recommend Kiarha to capture your special day.
I cannot recommend kiarha highly enough.

- Emily & Matthew
We got a wedding package with engagement photos. During our engagement session, she was so energetic and fun, it made me confident that she would absolutely rock our wedding. What I wasn’t prepared for, is that she had even more tricks up her sleeve to make the wedding day experience the best, EVER! She was professional, directed everyone beautifully and made it fun and easy. She has an eye for amazing shots and was so supportive and overall just amazing. Now for the IMAGES, holy cow they were absolutely stunning! Our video made my husband and I both cry happy tears. She absolutely exceeded our expectations and created beautiful images that we will cherish forever. I cannot recommend her enough. She is simply 5 stars in every department!
"KIARHA WAS AM ABSOLUTE JOY TO WORK WITH.."
- Tristin
Not only was she just phenomenal and so attentive during our wedding, but we had SO many friends and family come and tell us how much they liked her. Her energy radiates, and I honestly couldn’t be happier (and we haven’t even seen our video yet! LOL. Which no doubt will be just as amazing as she is!). I really cannot recommend her enough! Finding her by chance was absolutely the best. Don’t hesitate, book her now, you won’t regret it. <3
the luck we felt in finding kiarha, I can’t even describe it
- Alya & Eric
I first met her through a Boudoir session, which was absolutely phenomenal! She made me feel safe, comfortable and beautiful! The photos turned out better than I could have imagined, she knows how to pose you in the most flattering ways for your body, she also had a wardrobe of things to help make the shoot how I envisioned. Second interaction with her was my engagement photos. We are outdoor people and she accommodated that completely, she is just adventurous as us, wading through the water to get the perfect shot! I appreciate the commitment to art! The quality of the photos is outstanding. Vibrant colors, clear images, and perfect placement. Third interaction was our wedding. What a dream come true she is. There were so many stressors leading up to the wedding and she was a great help to know photos and some video were taken care of. She coordinated a second shooter for me, helped with some timeline questions, there was some last minute schedule changes and she was right there with me helping make sure things ran smooth. She really makes the day feel all about you, she is an observer of everything and steps in to take charge when needed (family photos). She gave me and my husband the space to be ourselves, and captured those moments. All my family members have raved at how great she was, and brave she was in the pouring rain. I have failed to post things on social media (my own issue) but the photos I have shared privately with friends and family, they have all been thoroughly impressed! A couple months after the wedding I reached out to Kiarha because my mom's dad died and my mother had been displaying a wedding photo that had him in it (sadly the only one) but my niece isn't looking at the camera. Kiarha did some investigating and editing and was able to send me a photo that had everyone looking at the camera. I gave it to my mother for Christmas and she cried, we are so very thankful for Kiarha going above and beyond! I recommend her for all your photoshoot needs, especially wedding related.
"she is so bubbly and sweet, it helped make stress and nervousness of getting my photos taken, vanish"
- Libby & Scott
Kiarha was an absolute dream to work with. She did our engagement shoot and wedding and I was blown away with the quality of photos that came back. Our engagement shoot day was rainy and gloomy, but the photos were still beautiful and elegant.
My husband and I are not use to having professional photos taken, and Kiarha definitely helped us feel calm & relaxed which resulted in some wonderful photos. The photography package we purchased included a video clip, which was absolutely amazing. We had a small wedding and did not have the budget for both a photographer and videographer - Kiarha does it all, and does it all very well!
She exceeded our expectations in every department, I would highly recommend her.
she is so fun and energetic, but also very professional"
- Kyle & Sheri
She went above and beyond capturing my wedding day and didn't leave any little details out. 10/10 would recommend her to anybody looking to have photos done. Exceptional work!
kiarha is an amazing photographer."
- Mackenzie & Thomas
Her team was communicative, endlessly helpful, and went above and beyond. We had LOTS of hiccups on the day-of, and they just rolled with the punches with professionalism and patience. They were so kind, funny, and made the experience that much less stressful. I am so grateful to have had them there for my wedding and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer.
"kiarha did my wedding photography and she was absolutely amazing.
-Wenjing & Fei

- Leanne & Jacob
Kiarha was amazing!!! Our wedding ceremony was held outside. Right before the ceremony we ended up having thunderstorms, which delayed us over an hour. Kiarha was super positive throughout the day despite the unpredictable weather/schedule and we got amazing photos and video. She went above and beyond!! 10/10 would recommend having Kiarha be apart of your special day!
"kiarha was amazing!!!
-Andrea & Alejandro
Kiarha was so patient and kind! She took our wedding/video photos and we couldn’t be happier. She gave us some amazing tips that helped us plan our special day. My husband mentioned that he has super comfortable with her and felt like she was a friend attending our wedding. I can’t wait to be able to work with her again! Thank you so much Kiarha Lou Photography <3
kiarha was so patient and kind!"
