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

Upon meeting I get to know them a little. I always ask their input, not to hesitate to let me know what they want and if they see a spot to take a picture at.

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

unfold fold
In order for me to learn the in and out of photography is to watch someone do their work. A lot of practice and effort took me a long way. I had to keep reminding myself to be okay with my mistakes as long as I am learning and growing. And to find my own authentic creative style was a must!!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I met a photographer who had 40 plus years of experience during Covid time and I’ve always wanted to learn professional photography so I tagged a long whenever he’s out shooting. I bought his used camera gears to practice. And fell in love with the art of photography!!

What types of customers have you worked with?

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

unfold fold
My recent project that I was a fond of was a secret proposal. The gentleman that was proposing planned it out very well as he wanted to make sure his girlfriend will have no clue. I helped him out with the process but the wait made it intense for both of us hahah. Anyway it went well and she said yes!! Just to witness and be a part of something very intimate gave me so much joy and excitement!! The whole shoot took about an hour but the preparation took 3 days!! hahah

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