Creative and Affordable Photographer

Q. Describe the most common types of jobs you do for your clients.

A. I have a lot of Senior portrait sessions and Weddings. I have also begun to photograph a lot of models and actors who need images for their portfolios. It is rewarding to know that I have helped another creative professional advance in their field.

Q. What advice do you have for a customer looking to hire a provider like you?

A. Be sure to look for a photographer that has a portfolio that you approve of. There are lots of photographers with a good price, but if their portfolio isn't up to your standards, keep looking!

Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?

A. Concerning photography, it is helpful if you, the client, know what style of photography you are looking for. Having some idea is beneficial to the session and allows us to work together to achieve the look without having to spend a lot of time creating an idea of what style you want.

Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?

A. Here at Snapped!, we strive to make each and every customer happy. Even after a session or event has concluded, Snapped! continues to work on editing images at no charge. Also, we are able to customize print packages for each customer, there is no "cookie cutter" photo package here!

Q. What do you like most about your job?

A. We love working directly with people. Event coverage is a unique way to share in a person's special day, be it a Senior Portrait session or a Wedding, sharing special moments is what we love!

Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?

A. Customers typically ask me what schooling I have or where I learned to be a photographer. My answer is that I taught myself to be a nature art photographer. My degree is in environmental education and I love nature. I started photographing landscapes and flowers and family and friends were interested in buying my work!

I decided that I loved working with people and doing my art, so I went back to school to study photography and business.

Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?

A. Every session is my favorite story. I pride myself in getting customers comfortable with me in their session or event. In doing so, people love to share stories with me about why they are getting portraits, how excited they are about graduating, or how they met their soon-to-be husband or wife. Making people happy is one of my favorite things when it comes to photography!

Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?

A. I know that my past customers agree that I am easy going and a fun photographer. I strive to impress my client by making the experience fun!

Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?

A. I was taking nature photographs in my spare time. I love nature and loved documenting it. My friends and family began showing interest in my work. So I said "what the hey! let's go for it!" It's been trucking along since then!

Q. Tell us about a recent job you did that you are particularly proud of.

A. I recently did a "Turning 13" photography session with a young man who was labeled "shy." Well, it didn't take long for us to build report, and the images came out wonderful!

Q. Do you do any sort of continuing education to stay up on the latest developments in your field?

A. I am currently pursuing an associates degree in Digital Photography which entails aesthetics and techniques about photography, as well as business competence.

Q. Describe your most recent project, what it involved, how much it cost, and how long it took.

A. My most recent session was a "Turning 13" session. It took about 1 hour and was taken in Uptown Westerville, Ohio. He wanted a "skater/cool-kid" vibe. I'm pretty sure he and his mother are satisfied. They gushed over the images before I even edited them!
