rhode island-based wedding, motherhood, & boudoir Photographer
AN EXPERIENCE THAT CELEBRATES YOU.
"DJ, PLAY IT'S A VIBE BY 2 CHAINS"
IT'S TIME TO RELAX, KICK BACK, AND DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY WHILE I CAPTURE YOUR LOVE, NOT MISSING A BEAT.
I want this moment to feel liberating, enjoyable, and full of adventure. It will be the most amazing date you've ever had with your partner when you're in front of my camera.
And ultimately, I know you want your photos to feel like you, so there are no prom poses here. Let go of all the anxiety and stress and just be yourselves. I'll show you my quirks so you can feel comfortable leaning into yours. Be you through and through, and I'll do the rest.
IGNITE THE SPARK. CREATE THE ART.

HOW IT ALL WORKS
I.
After we chat, we are going on a date! I want us to feel like we've been friends for years, so let's Facetime or grab drinks if you're local. The more comfortable we are together, the better your experience will be. If we get along, and we probably will, I'll send you a contract and invoice to make this official.
II.
Once your date is booked, I will send you a planning guide and questionnaire to help me understand you better and assist you in planning your perfect day or session. We will discuss the little details of your day and get to know each other as individuals. I want to learn everything about you—your story, love language, and dreams.
III.
This is the part where the magic happens. Let’s celebrate and document your love story. Nothing is off-limits. You want to make each other laugh hysterically? Let the dirty jokes fly! You want to make out? Go for it, lovers! And I’ll bring all your favorite drinks, smokes, and music to help you loosen up.
IV.
I will ensure that you receive your cherished photos in a timely manner. You can expect to receive polaroids before we leave, and I will send you sneak peeks via text in the days following our session. The complete gallery will be delivered within 3-4 weeks for sessions and up to 12 weeks for weddings and elopements.

"SHE IS SO PROFESSIONAL, CREATIVE, AND IS SO PASSIONATE!"
Dominique is amazing! I’ve booked boudoir, my wedding, and now maternity! She is so professional, creative, and is so passionate! She is really good at taking your ideas and bringing them to life! I am very indecisive but she’s been able to take all my ideas and take beautiful photos! Her versatility is rare to find these days especially because most photographers are in one bucket, she does it all and I couldn’t be more happier with everything we’ve created thus far! I recommend her to all my family and friends she is that amazing! I will continue to book with her for all my photography needs!

BEHIND THE LENS
movement-based, prompt focused
Behind the lens, my goal is to capture every moment in a way that is meaningful to you. You won't feel forced into awkward poses or forced to follow a pre-planned shot list. Through meaningful prompts, I encourage you to connect naturally, effortlessly, and in a fun way. In my experience, meaningful prompts often lead to authentic, unplanned moments. Those are the moments I will capture as they unfold without interrupting. You can trust me to always keep in mind what's important to you. The most important thing is what you envision, your story, and not simply how it looks, but how it feels.
With timeless, effortless, and intentional imagery, I want to show you the real you.
WHAT INSPIRES ME
couples deeply in love with a romantic side, unique ideas, and empowering others
I find my inspiration from your love story, the unique ideas to personalize your experience, and empowering others through the art of boudoir. It is an honor to be creatively inspired by your love story. To shoot in a location that feels like home for your love. As far as my photography style it's inspired by these things:
// connection driven
// emotion seeker
// intentional with your unique experience
// true-to-color- I'll photograph your day as it was
// movement based, prompt focused
// earthy tones
If any of this resonates with you and what you're looking for in a wedding photographer, I would be honored to join you on one of the biggest adventures of a lifetime.
How do we book you?
First of all, yay! I am doing a happy dance. All you have to do is sign my contract and pay a 30% (for weddings + birth coverage, and 50% for regular sessions) non-refundable retainer to reserve your date. just complete the form on my contact page, and we’re one step closer to a kick-ass time and timeless photos.
How would you describe your photography style?
I am a warm, natural light photographer who isn’t afraid to embrace deep shadows and bright flares.
Do you travel?
Yes, I do. Our destination wedding and elopement collections include travel so no hidden fees here.
How soon should we inquire?
It's never too soon to reach out. For weddings and elopements, I book 1-2 years in advance, while regular sessions would be 3-6 months in advance.
Will you photoshop our photos?
while I will remove skin blemishes that you’re self-conscious of and other distractions in the background, I don’t photograph or airbrush any photos. instead, I’ll capture your best angles, so your true beauty shines.
When should I book my maternity session?
We recommend you reach out during your second trimester to ensure availability. Maternity sessions are best booked between 30-34 weeks of pregnancy.
"SHE IS REAL. SHE IS GOOFY. SHE IS PRESENT. SHE IS KIND. SHE IS FUN. SHE MAKES YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE AND BEAUTIFUL AND SEEN."
I can go on and on about the beautiful images that Dominque captured on my special day. The passion, love and effort she puts into her work; the talent that is evident in each photo she takes; her ability to capture moments (small and big)...the list could go on and on. I want to focus on what made working with Dominique so special to me. She is real. She is goofy. She is present. She is kind. She is fun. She makes you feel comfortable and beautiful and seen. Despite the chaos that is inevitable (at least for me) on my very special day, she managed to remain focused on the joy in my friends and families faces, on the little kids frolicking down the grassy aisle, on the energy that exploded on the dance floor and most importantly on the true love that she captured in each photo with me and my husband. One of my best friends and bridesmaids said it best, 'she clearly knows what she is doing', just see for yourself. These pictures feel timeless and my gratitude to her is endless. So much love for her.
