Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Minimum booking price is $250 depending on location, photoshoot time and deliverables, but I am open to working with all and any budgets!

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

A typical process would be getting to know my client and exchanging contact information with them so that they can view my work, and who I am as a person!

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

4+ years experience with everything from sports to weddings and family pictures. Head photographer for the #1 High School Football team in America (Mater Dei, Santa Ana), contracted freelance photographer for Adidas, and my work has been featured on: Sports Center, ESPN, NFL, NFL Network, Heisman, Forbes, Apple Music, Adidas, 15 & Mahomies (Patrick Mahomes foundation) + more.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started hiking in the mountains in 2019 and would use my iPhone to take pictures and document my trips. People would ask me what camera I used because my pictures were so good and I enjoyed taking pictures so much that I bought a camera and photographed everything from plants to my friends to my dogs, and eventually worked hard enough to turn it into a career that I love.

What types of customers have you worked with?

NFL players like Odell Beckham Jr., Keenan Allen, Melvin Gordon, Jaelan Phillips, Cam Newton, Darnay Holmes (Vayner Sports), Darren Hall and hundreds of more athletes that are the top NCAA players and High School players. I have worked with everything from wedding couples, newborns, families, and companies as well.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

I recently shot a wedding on June 30th and it was one of my favorite shoots! It took about 8-10 hours, but there was many breaks and casual time to hang out! I truly love being able to capture weddings!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

I would recommend checking their work out, their social medias, and getting in touch with them to see what type of person they are!

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

How long somebody has been in their profession, what type of work they do, what type of customers they work with, and where they are located!
