- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We begin by have a phone interview to determine what your needs are. What you like and don't like. From there we will decide on a location and get to work planning all of the details of your shoot. Some people want to tell a story. Some people just want the story to be of your families love for each other. We work hard to make sure your dream is achieved.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Primarily, I am self taught. While in collage I found myself taking every art class possible in addition to my required classes. After earning my degree, I had a family and I came back to art as a hobby. I had a passion to create artistic images of my own children and had no clue how to work the equipment. So starting taking every photography class I could find. I've done in person workshops with some of the best names in the business as well as countless hours of online studying and years of trial and error. To date I have been in business for over 5 years and have shot 1000s of kids and families.
