How I work
My photography combines photojournalism, storytelling, and the more traditional portraits. I prefer natural light when shooting, and I view the great outdoors as the most beautiful studio a photographer can have, although some of my best natural light photographs have been captured inside someone’s home. After all, our homes are where we are the most comfortable and are where I capture the quiet fleeting moments of life.
Ahead of the photoshoot, I take some time to get to know you and what you envision. If you don’t strongly wish for a preferred location, I have many favorite places to suggest that I know will work well. A combination of in-home and the outside works well too. I also share a pdf file, a super helpful guideline for making it a successful photo shoot. It addresses common photoshoot anxieties and how to overcome them. The guidelines are based on my own experiences and reflect on what works. I lend suggestions for clothing, although it is your decision in the end. For me, what matters is that the light and the colors of your surroundings will work with your clothing.
I know that hiring a photographer is a significant investment for many folks, and I genuinely think it should be. You invest in something that lasts that you will value, and you invest in me as a photographer. I put down an incredible amount of time on each client. I aim for clients that choose me because they like my style and approach to the medium. I have a true passion for photography and will always do my best for my customers.
My end goal is to provide you with something unique to treasure and hold that invokes memories of moments in life that flow by too quickly for years to come. Pictures that show who you are and to REMEMBER years afterward.
I am looking forward to meeting you!
PRICING
I offer an essential collection, IN A DAY, starting at $300, which means a 1 to 2-hour on-location shoot at your home or a favorite place, or both! This includes post-production fine-tuning and high-resolution digital JPEG images. I also offer your choice of a lay-flat storybook album or a big stylish coffee table book. If you decide to invest, a $100 credit from the already paid $300 will go towards this investment starting at $1,200.
I also offer 30 minutes portrait sessions throughout the year. Pricing starts at $150 for 10-12 edited digital copies depending on what you are looking for.
In either package, I offer prints to hang on the wall or cards for sharing for you to have something tangible and memorable to hold in your hands. Also included is a sit-down or online ordering session with me where I help you with selecting the images and finding a collection that works for you.

PERSONAL BRAND PHOTOGRAPHY
Personal Brand Photography plays a powerful and crucial role in communicating the WHO-WHAT-WHY of your business. In a social media world, we as people crave connection with other people, and we do not necessarily give our money to the person who offers its products or services for the lowest amount. We would like to know the person behind a product or service and what they stand for. Personal Brand Photography establishes who you are and who your customers are and what you offer. It is the ‘practice of people marketing themselves and their careers as a brand’. It allows clients to get to know you and what it is that makes you unique and authentic. 
It is a way to connect with your customers on a deeper level and create an affinity that goes beyond your brand name. A personal brand photography session is a private session for business owners. I do this through a combination of photojournalism, lifestyle, and portraiture style photography of you in action with your product, and in places that evoke who you are as a person.
PRICING
A personal brand photography session works in much the same way as the above family and children’s lifestyle session. It is you and your business captured IN A DAY, and it has the starting rate of my lifestyle and portrait sessions of $300.
The photo session includes a face-to-face meeting where I get to know you, your business, and your vision. I help communicate the story of the creative entrepreneur and what makes you unique!
