Absolutely! Just complete the contact form below!

Absofreakinlutely!!!!! Love is Love and the world needs more of it.

That's cool. Every family tree has a few nuts. A few weeks before your wedding we'll meet and chat about your day. We'll discuss any family issues. I certainly don't want to group family members together who don't get along, or even catch them in candids. My goal is for your day to go as smoothly as possible. I also do my best to attend your rehearsal. I typically don't shoot. I just like to introduce myself to the bridal party and important family members. I really like to learn parents names. I think it's important to call them by their given names, not just "mom" and "dad".

Wedding Packages start as low as $3111.00! I also offer custom packages to fit your budget!

It really depends on your circumstances. I'm very thorough but I can't be in two places at once. So, if you're getting ready at two separate locations, or having your ceremony and reception at two separate locations, then a Second Photographer is something you should strongly consider. If everything is at one location then I can generally handle it on my own. However, keep in mind that a Second Photographer will help capture small details that I may not be able to.

An engagment session is more than some photos for your Save The Dates. An engagement session helps us get to know one another. Maybe there is a side of your face you prefer. Or your ears are unusually ticklish and I should avoid directing your partner to whisper into them at all costs. Perhaps you don't like to be hugged a certain way. Quirks. Hey, we've all got 'em but I'd rather learn about them before your big day! I can assure you that this session will put all three of us at ease so your wedding day is a breeze. At least from a photography standpoint. I can't do much about your mother-in-law... So, no.

Ahhhhh, if only. Well, for starters I spend a lot of time prior to your wedding sending your contract and other correspondence, shooting and editing your engagement session, meeting to go over the particulars, and creating a timeline. Then there's my assistant who comes along with me and a second shooter if you so choose. They, sadly, don't work for free. Oh, and that camera. It's pretty pricey. And I have three. Because no one is happy when a camera decides not to work on a wedding day. What's that? You like that blurry background in my photos (we call that bokeh)? The lenses that achieve that effect, they're pretty darned expensive too. As well as lighting gear, Ibuprofen, memory cards, computers, Chiropractor bills, back-up systems, coffee, website hosting, comfortable shoes that don't look like I stole them from your granny, gallery hosting, etc. I've got to insure all that stuff too. And pay Uncle Sam his share. After I go home I spend a good 25-30 hours editing, uploading, designing albums, ordering products, etc. I can assure you that I won't be cashing out your payment in singles and rolling around on my bed in dollar bills.

Yes. "Butterfly Kisses" If you dance with your father to that song, no wedding photos for you.

It’s recommended to book your senior session at least 3-4 months in advance to ensure availability, especially if you want your photos for graduation announcements or other events. The earlier you book, the more options you’ll have in terms of scheduling and locations.

I'll provide a few previews within 72 hours of the session and the remainder will be delivered within two to three business weeks.

I require that a parent and/or guardian over the age of 21 attends the session. There are zero exceptions to this rule. If a parent and/or guardian does not attend I will terminate the session, your retainer will be forfeited, and you will need to rebook for a date when a parent and/or guardian over 21 will be present.

You will receive an online gallery of the edited images from the session. From this gallery you can (and should) download all images and save them in a safe place. You can share them on social media and have them printed at the lab of your choice. You are also welcome to purchase prints from my lab directly through the gallery.

Yes, I love when families pick a location that holds special meaning for their senior, whether it's outdoors, urban settings, or even at home. We can discuss different location options and what will work best for the style of photos you're looking for.

Absolutely! I actually charge more if families do NOT include their pets 😉

Absolutely! Most people are nervous around a camera. We'll work together prior to the session for me to learn a lot about your child and we'll also spend a few minutes chatting prior to starting their session. I tend to also show your Senior a few photos from the back of my camera so they can see how we'll they're doing. Once the see how great they look, the rest of the session is a breeze.

I'm not a salesperson. I won't sell you things you don't need. However, a second photographer is never a bad idea because I can't be two places at once. If you're doing a First Look and everyone is getting ready at the same venue there's a good chance I can handle things myself. If you're getting ready at two different locations, or the venue is really large, a second photographer is a good idea. We can discuss it more during your consultation and decide what's best for your wedding day!

A mobile album is an app that I'll send to your phone that contains all of your engagement photos and 120 of your favorite wedding photos. It's a nice place to keep all of your photos and an easy way to share with people who want to see your photos but you'd prefer don't scroll too far in your camera roll. 😉

All hours are consecutive.

I think it's really important that you print your photos. You can use your product credit on: Save the Date Cards Thank You Cards An Engagement Album OR Guest Book Prints
