Dandelions and Dumptrucks Photography

My pricing has been set up over the years to reflect my time and worth. It is set and I do not negotiate pricing.

I am a huge communicator. I like to sit down in person with clients to go over relevant details and a timeline for sessions and events. I like to establish relationships with my clients and not just show up as a stranger. The day of the event or session I am all energy so clients can relax and not have to worry about a thing. Everything from choosing locations to the exact right head tilt is my job!

I have mentored under several industry-leading photographers for every area of photography; technique, lighting, posing, editing. I have traveled for workshops, continuously train online, and am always practicing new techniques!

My children inspired me to pick up a camera. I wanted to capture whimsical images of them which is easier said than done! They taught me how to ‘speak kid’ when posing children because everything is very very literal. They are still my favorite and most challenging subjects!

Let me begin by saying I love my clients. Love. Photography has given me the ability to connect with so many different people. I have beautiful brides, joking couples, shy seniors, wild children, exhausted mothers, bold divas, business professionals, and precious babies for clients and they make my job ridiculously fun and dynamic. I am a huge fan of people - show up as you!

My sister and I traveled to Mexico to photograph a company during their training meetings and exercises. It was mind-blowing! The company did a training program at a horse ranch where they had to get in touch with their inner-selves by getting the horses to trust them. We had no idea what to expect. It was a day full of laughter, pure emotion, tears, and humility. Apart from the fact that we were in Mexico which is always amazing, this experience was so unique. We are still pinching ourselves that it ever even happened!

Do not base it on price alone. You do not get a second chance to capture these moments! Find someone accountable with beautiful work!
