Q&A

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

unfold fold
Each project is an investment of time, creativity, and attention to detail—far beyond the day of the shoot. My pricing reflects the full scope of work, including the hours of meticulous editing that follow, the distance traveled, and the customized approach for each session. I also consider the number of images, the people involved, and the high-quality equipment and software I use to capture and enhance your photos. Lets connect and I will send you my detailed pricing guide!

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

unfold fold
I believe in thorough communication from the start, so we’ll go over all the details—location, expectations, and pricing—before the shoot. I love connecting with clients, whether through a call or an in-person meeting, as it helps me fully understand your vision and ensure we're aligned for a successful session. On the day of the shoot, I make it a priority to arrive early and well-prepared, so we can scout the best spots and finalize any last-minute details. A 50% deposit is required for shoots or events booked in advance to secure the date. Also a simple agreement to make sure both parties are happy. After the shoot, I typically deliver edits within a few days to a week, depending on the scope. For weddings, I aim to send the finished gallery within two weeks to a month. You’ll receive your images through a beautiful, easy-to-navigate online gallery, perfect for downloading, sharing, or even purchasing prints. Additionally, I offer high-quality, hardcover photobooks after every shoot. These make for timeless keepsakes and family heirlooms, preserving your memories in a tangible and elegant format.

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

unfold fold
I am a self-taught photographer with additional one-on-one training from experienced professionals. My background as a model gives me a unique insight into both sides of the camera, allowing me to guide clients confidently and help them feel comfortable during shoots. This ensures the best possible results in every session. I am constantly evolving in my craft by taking online courses and engaging in hands-on practice to stay current with industry trends and techniques. I also edit daily, refining my skills and keeping my creative edge sharp. Continued education is key to my growth, enabling me to deliver even better results and fresh ideas for every project.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
Photography and video has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Even as a child, I loved capturing moments and upgrading my camera gear over time to improve my skills. I’ve always been tech-savvy, experimenting with Photoshop at a young age, which helped me develop an eye for detail and creativity early on. I've been on YouTube since 2016. As I transitioned into professional photography, I refined these skills and found true joy in sharing the beauty of the world through my lens. What makes my work so fulfilling is seeing the reactions of clients when they view their photos and see themselves in a new, empowering way. That moment of realization makes every shoot worth it.

What types of customers have you worked with?

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

unfold fold
When looking for a photographer, it’s important to find someone whose style and vision align with your own, but it’s equally important to choose a professional who brings something truly unique to the table. While reviewing portfolios can give you a sense of quality and consistency, I believe my services go beyond what you'll see anywhere else. My experience, attention to detail, and creative approach are unmatched, offering a level of artistry and expertise that sets me apart. Every session I deliver is tailored to the client’s unique vision, whether that’s a focus on artistic, fashion-forward, traditional, or candid/documentary styles. I encourage clients to communicate their ideas and preferences so that together, we can create something extraordinary and reflective of their personality.

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

unfold fold
Please note that thumbtack charges professionals for every customer that reaches out to them. serious inquiries only please. thumbtack is not a place to price shop, it cost the professional's a high fee every time you reach out. thank you for your understanding and I look forward to connecting. My common question is getting to know your location of shoot, how many people in your portrait session, what year photography goals areetc. Details help me better quote your special needs since each session can vary.
