Introduction

What sets me apart is my ability to get genuine smiles and laughter out of my clients. I will create a fun and enjoyable environment that will have us laughing and smiling naturally. I firmly believe operating the camera is 25% of the work at best, getting clients to be comfortable enough that their true character shines through is what sets me apart. I love creating images that people cherish. A great photograph is something that gets passed on for generations.

Q&A

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

Due to the character limit of Thumbtack quotes each quote I send is for my most typical services. I do offer many other products and services including (but not limited to): - Prints - Photo Books - Photo Manipulation and Editing - On location and Travel Sessions - Longer and More Involved Shoots - Additional Delivered Images - Creative Services

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

With each customer I take the time to learn exactly what is wanted and work to provide the best possible outcome. I am very easygoing and personable and will ensure you get the images you desire.

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

I have formal photography education from SLCC and have worked with may large brands to create compelling images. I have also been nationally published.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I fell in love with photography in my late teens and used it as a way to document my life and travels. I then started my own business in 2004 and used my photography for marketing and social media. I decided to take on freelance photography as a career in 2017.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I work with all types of customers and am comfortable shooting anything. Some of my most notable clients have been Red Bull, JS Noor, RideBMX Magazine, Walter E. Dandy Neurosurgical Society, Ragnar, etc.

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

If only for a little while, I fall in love with every project I take on. Without that passion I do not think I would be able to deliver the quality images that I do.

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

Find someone you're comfortable with. Someone you gel with. Operating a camera is not the most difficult skill in the world. Finding someone you are comfortable with and can get your beauty to really shine through, that is rare.

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

It's important to see a photographers latest work when possible. Something within the last few months just to get an idea of where the photographer is at skill wise and whether or not they are actively shooting.
