Introduction

I will do what it takes to capture the moment. I will travel to my clients needs. I will work one on one with my clients to ensure that we understand what they want captured and how, sharing each other's vision for their memories. Their moments are their adventure. Working with my clients to capture the best moments for my clients. I love capturing their moments. It's and art, and the client is the masterpiece! Traveling to the customer is a must for anyone and the journey for the client is what I enjoy when capturing their moments.

Q&A

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

I first start with communication and a consultation to meet the client and discuss what they would like to accomplish. This includes elements of their project and how I will capture certain aspects and discuss location of shoot.

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

I’ve attended workshops and learned from some amazing photographers in the industry.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I decided while in Seward Alaska on a vacation trip to chase my dream and passion for photography and incorporating people into that passion.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Weddings, Couples, models, boudoir clients

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

Some of my most memorable times are doing photo shoots with other photographers and helping them learn when they are starting out and sharing my passion with them and them understanding, it’s not just about getting beautiful images but making your client feel something special from their work!

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

Look for someone who can capture you in ways that bring out emotion. It’s one thing to have pretty pictures of yourself but they don’t mean as much if it doesn’t make you “double take” while looking at your work and remembering. The experience. Hire someone who can capture you with intensity and passion and fun!

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

Do you use any additional lighting? what times of day can you work in? (I can work with ANY time of day or night)
