**Please note I pay Thumbtack up to $150 for each inquiry, even if I do not hear from you or you do not book with me. Thumbtack does not reimburse this charge so I urge you to review my profile, prices, portfolio, and reviews before contacting me to be sure I am the right fit for your photography and creative needs. Thank you! Alternatively, you can contact me directly via my website or Instagram, which are both listed on my Thumbtack profile.** instagram.com/shotbytj_ I want to ensure transparency regarding my pricing. Portrait sessions like proposals, elopements, and engagement photos start at $400 for a 45 minute session and $600 for a 90 minute session. For weddings, the range is $2000-$2500 for a full 6-8 hour wedding day. Please inquire about any elopements or weddings that are not a full day! Those prices do not include any travel fees. I am local to the Reno/Lake Tahoe area, but do offer (and insist on) traveling to wherever you may need me.
