Introduction

Photography is my life. I’ve been in the industry for over 15 years and have had over 250 published photos. I love making photos feel inviting as well as be unique to each person or place. I have an eye that not others have, and will make all your images stand out. Looking forward to working with you!

Q&A

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

I am always happy to work around someone’s budget.

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

I always brainstorm with the client prior, and bounce ideas off of each other, and then try to replicate their visions as clearly as possible.

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

All self taught, but was mentored by Ansel Adams’ mentee in fine art landscape.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started when I was a young child. Using my allowance money to buy film and disposables. Once I hit high school, I knew I never wanted to do anything else.

What types of customers have you worked with?

In my career I have photographed everything from 30 million dollar homes, to Michael Jordan. I feel as though I have been lucky enough to see it all!

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

I had the opportunity to photograph my good friends engagement shoot in Oceanside at the mission. Was a super fun shoot, overcast but enjoyable lighting opportunities

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

I would say to make sure your style matches well with the photographer and to hire someone who has experience in multiple areas of photography

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

I would say that the customer should always have a plan in mind for location, but keep in mind sunset time and weather patterns.
