Answers to Frequently Asked Questions
I love shooting portraits and events! Portraits include: family, senior portraits, branding, corporate head shots, commercial photography, lifestyle, fashion, boudoir, online dating, maternity, engagements, anniversaries, etc. Events include: family reunions, corporate events, conferences, high school reunions, weddings, awards ceremonies, etc. This is not an all-encompassing list, so if you are interested in something you don’t see here, please reach out here.
The style of photography that I strive for is bright, clean, emotional, and has true-to-life color. I have a photojournalistic streak, love shooting candids as much as I love shooting posed, and am never afraid of bold colors. Please review my latest work on Instagram to get a sense of my style/aesthetic.
Yes, and I’ll just call it a “wedding”.
I am a queer-friendly photographer and an LGBTQIA+ ally. I am constantly striving to learn more to better serve my clients of every orientation and gender identity.
I also shoot clients in polyamorous relationships, clients who are co-parents but not romantically involved with each other, etc. I embrace modern love and the modern family.
Yes.
Yes.
If you prefer the photo studio look, studio sessions are available! Let me know when you book. Studio sessions will include a nominal fee to cover the cost of studio rental.
Photographers hear this a lot! Most clients are just looking for "a few photos". In reality, it takes a full session to produce a few great photos. We will take lots of different angles and poses to find your best looks. Photography is a process, and usually the last photos of any session are the best (I think it is because the client is most comfortable by the end). If you need just a few photos, I am the right photographer for you!
Yes! I have some amazing hair and makeup artists available for an extra charge, and can accommodate clients of all races. They come to you or on location at our shoot. Please request hair and makeup services at the time of booking so that we can coordinate schedules.
When you book a shoot, I am will advise you on wardrobe, hair, and makeup free of charge. All sessions include a brief phone meeting to discuss your needs and expectations to ensure that your photos align with your vision. Feel free to bring ideas, but don't worry if you are drawing a blank. Check out my blog for styling tips and advice.
It depends on the time of year. I still have wedding and event dates available this year. I can usually accommodate a portrait session within the next few months. It’s always best to book as far in advance as possible to give us time to prepare and ensure you have the first pick of session slots, but don’t hesitate to reach out for last-minute needs.
Sometimes- feel free to reach out. If I can't accommodate you, I'm glad to refer you to another great local photographer.
Yes! You can easily order prints, wall art, albums, and other timeless heirlooms directly from your gallery when you receive your photos.
My pricing is extremely transparent and you will not be baited into a low session fee and having to buy your images later. My pricing is extremely simple- you’ll pay the session fee up front, and this will include the agreed-upon number of lightly retouched digital image files. If you would like to purchase prints, art, and albums after the shoot you are welcome to, but it is never required. Certain types of photography may be priced slightly differently- like boudoir- but we will go over that before you book. No surprises.
I do not currently have any mini sessions scheduled, but I sometimes offer them in the fall or spring. Please follow my Facebook page for updates on mini session events. Mini sessions fill up quickly, so it is best to book right away when they are posted. You can contact me to be added to a no-obligation mini session wait list.
