Introduction: **Please note vendors on Thumbtack are charged a fee for every quote requested, even if we do not hear from you or you do not book with us. I urge you to review my profile, prices, reviews, and samples before contacting to be sure I am the right fit for your photography and creative needs. Thank you!** Hello there! My name is TJ and I have a passion for photography. Capturing a photo for me has always been a moment where the world pauses and I can catch my breath. My favorite aspect of photography is being able to capture a feeling in time others can find emotion in. Due to my passion and care for the craft, I am able to delve into every project with an ambitious and a creative lens. I am based in the Reno, Nevada, and the Lake Tahoe area, but am willing to meet you wherever you need my cameras and me! It is my goal to make your photo experience light-hearted, comfortable, and authentic and to bring your dream to fruition. Feel free to check out my Instagram linked below and message me there. I look forward to capturing your visions and special occasions!

Tj exceeded my needs for photography service. He was about to hike down to a beach area and wasn’t watching his watch. He was in the moment with my family and I and its shows in the end work. Would definitely hire again going forward. Thank you Tj

FAQs

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

    My base price is for a 45 minute session, which is usually enough for most jobs except weddings. I also require a 20% deposit to book and reserve a session and date. This is non-refundable, but will be used as credit toward your invoice. I have a discounted package if you book both your engagement photos and wedding day with me. Any jobs that require me to travel outside of my typical area is eligible for a discounted travel package and should be inquired about through my Instagram.

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

    If you are looking into working with me, you get a free 20 minute consultation to discuss your vision and ask any questions you may have about the process.
