Frequently Asked Questions

  • I specialize in capturing the significant milestones and the quiet, "in-between" moments of life through high-quality portraiture. My primary offerings include individual portrait sessions, engagement photography, and full-group or individual family sessions. Whether you are celebrating a graduation, a new chapter with your partner, or simply want to document your family's current journey, I provide a professional experience that results in a generous gallery of 25 to over 50 edited images, depending on the session length you choose.

  • Beginning our journey together is simple and direct. You can start by filling out the contact form here on my website or by reaching out to me via the phone number provided on my business card. Once we connect, we’ll discuss the vision you have for your photos, the best location to bring that vision to life, and which session package fits your needs. After we settle on a date and time, I’ll provide you with everything you need to feel prepared for our shoot.

  • I believe that the most powerful stories are those defined by transformation and redemption, and I bring that perspective to every shutter click. My work isn't just about technical settings; it's about approaching every subject with a deep sense of reverence and a desire to capture their inherent worth. My own journey through life's challenges has given me a unique "second-chance" lens that allows me to find beauty in the shadows and light that others might miss, ensuring your photos feel honest and soulful.

  • I thrive on keeping the energy lighthearted and fun, often using a well-timed joke to break the ice and settle any nerves. My goal is always to capture those fleeting, genuine smiles that reflect a person's true spirit rather than the stiff, practiced poses people often fall into. There is something far more compelling about a candid moment of laughter than a perfectly staged portrait, so I focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere where those authentic expressions can emerge naturally.

  • Photography is a deeply personal art form, and I believe it is essential that you feel a genuine connection with a photographer's specific visual language. My style leans into a "dreamy," high-contrast, and cinematic aesthetic that prioritizes emotional depth and storytelling over traditional, brightly-lit studio portraits. If you find yourself drawn to vibrant, airy, or "true-to-life" bright editing, I may not be the perfect fit for your vision—and that is okay. My goal is for you to have photos that you absolutely love, so I encourage you to look through my gallery to ensure my specific way of capturing light and shadows resonates with the story you want to tell.

  • Yes, absolutely. I believe your portraits should be a true reflection of your personality and the things that bring you joy. If you have a specific vision—like laying in a pile of your favorite books or featuring a meaningful prop—I am more than happy to make that happen. In fact, I encourage you to tell me about your hobbies, passions, and the things that make you "you." Whether it’s a stack of novels, a musical instrument, or a specific location that holds meaning, I will do my best to creatively incorporate those elements into our shoot to ensure your photos feel like a genuine piece of your story.
