Introduction

*PLEASE REACH OUT IF YOU HAVE THE INTENT TO BOOK A SESSION* *If you have questions about pricing and packages, visit my website.* I specialize in small and unconventional weddings. These include City Hall and Elopement weddings (no more than 15 guests), and I also do lifestyle/branding headshots for businesses and people. I’m not just here to take pictures. I’m here to help you feel confident, seen, and proud of how you show up—whether you're eloping across the world or updating your headshots. I bring structure and care without making it stiff or awkward. And I care—deeply—about making sure you walk away feeling good about yourself and what we created together. Whether you're committing to a partner or showing up for your work, I pour care into every detail so the experience feels true to you and leaves a lasting impact. I will let moments unfold when necessary, and then at other times, I will step in and be the director. I have a naturally calm demeanor but also love excitement. I will be the person who cheers you on and boosts you full of confidence! The best photos always come from my connection with my clients and the unscripted moments. Being around people has always brought me so much enjoyment. For the past eight years, I've spent countless hours developing my craft to ensure beautiful images. I'm a very versatile photographer, so if you have an unconventional idea, I'm here for you! So, please, if you wish to laugh a lot, feel elevated, and be encouraged, book a session with me! I am LGBTQ+ friendly!

Q&A

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

My pricing varies based on the editing time and the complexity of the shoot, as well as travel time.

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

My main job is to cater to my customers, so I always ask them what THEY want. All judgment stays behind. If they have pictures that they found online and want to do something similar, I'm absolutely game!

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

I have an associates' degree in communications, and I constantly learn new methods through other learning platforms.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I was inspired by one of my friends in college, so I switched my major from construction to photography.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have had the pleasure to work with an array of people! I love meeting people from different walks of life. That's one of my favorite parts of being a photographer!

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

I did a fashion shoot for some women that designed their clothing. It took about two weeks of planning and editing to make the vision come true.

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

Make sure that you like their work and editing style. If you have questions don't be afraid to ask.

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

Are you committed to the photoshoot, location, types of style, poses, attire?
