ABOUT ME
I’m a photographer drawn to the dramatic and emotive ways in which we connect with each other and our surroundings. A session with me is wholly focused on taking the time to slow down and really appreciate long embraces, the art of discovery, subtleties of affection, and making time to say the words we don’t always stop to say. It is my desire to create photographs that do more than serve as proof that you existed, I want to show that you lived passionately and loved madly.
BOOKing a session
Some days I have to pinch myself in disbelief; I am doing what I LOVE most; making people feel good about themselves while creating beautiful photography that speaks to my clientele. You are probably booking this session to mark a really incredible time in your lives and hiring a photographer is definitely not something you should compromise on. If you are working with a budget, let’s customize a package that works for us.
MY PROCESS…
A signed contract and 50% retainer is due upon booking your session.
Once that is received, we will confirm your details.
We will discuss key moments, the people in your party, and a timeline.
Now, I can capture all of you with the ones you love the most.
Enjoy your time together whilst I document the entire moment for you.
Every toast, every tear, every laugh line.
I am truly honored to be chosen as your photographer.

Stop by my BLOG; I share images from my previous sessions and creative work.
Be sure to sign up below for my newsletter to stay up on any promos, model calls, or upcoming projects I might have!

All for the ‘GRAM ?!?!

I’m not really good at picking out clothes. Can you please help me with that?
Absoutely!! Styling can be stressful or fun depending on how you look at it. I am here to offer direction when it comes to the styling of your photoshoot.
If you need professional styling services I can recommend a MUA and/or stylist as an “Add On” service to you.
Our session time together has ended. What happens now?
Please allow up to 14 business days to process your gallery. You will receive a culled and edited online gallery to share with Friends and Family on social media.
If you ordered prints, please allow up to 3 weeks for processing. ***Turn times are subject to change.
Can you use an Instagram filter on the photos?
I know filters can make or break a photograph and Instagram has a lot of really fun ones!
But adding ANY filter to an edited photo from your photographer is generally considered a “no-no”. I ask that you please keep the integrity of the photographs.
More information on this is included in the terms of my contract as well.
Do you offer “Same Day Editing”?
Yes! I do offer “RUSH” editing services at an additional cost to you.
Can you explain your printing process?
Once I have gathered the information and payment, I will send over a "proofing" gallery via email for you to “approve" the images before sending to print.
Once approved, I will proceed with printing the order for you. You understand and agree that once proofing has been approved by you and I send this to print there are no returns or refunds. These services are non-refundable and cannot be applied towards another order as the printing process will start from the beginning. Additionally, If any other requests are needed after we print that, it becomes a new order. All Sales are FINAL. Please see Terms & Conditions.
