I am currently based in League City, TX, and am willing to come to you! The Greater Houston area is full of beautiful outdoor spaces and interesting city backdrops. So, if you have locations* in mind, great! We can shoot in a place you find beautiful or meaningful. Don’t know where to go? No problem, I have lived in Houston most of my life and can find a place that works for you based off your photo needs. A travel fee of $35 will be added for locations further than 30 miles from 77573 for portrait sessions. Prints I do not currently offer prints through my website, but I will happily point you in the right direction for your printing needs! By providing you with full resolution digital copies of your images, you have more flexibility with your images and prints to find a plan that matches your needs and budget. What to Bring Please bring your payment in check or cash (exact change is appreciated) or through Venmo to pay for your photoshoot upon arrival. You may want to bring along makeup, chapstick, or hair products so you can touch up if want during the session. Feel free to bring a variety of outfits, accessories, and props to choose from! As styles change drastically over time, my personal preference is solid colors and understated jewelry because they tend to be more timeless. However, if you want to wear 5 different patterns at the same time, you absolutely can! These are your photos and I want you to be comfortable and be yourself. That way you can shine through in the photos. Discounts Returning clients enjoy 10% off their next shoot! You can also receive an additional 5% discount on your next shoot if you refer someone who books and completes a session with me!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will either talk or email to figure out exactly what your goals for the shoot are and logistics. If you have a specific vibe in mind, you can send me a few example photos of what you're looking for so we can get the type of shots you have in mind! We will meet in the location that you choose for your shoot, have a quick briefing, and then get to shooting.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I picked up photography in elementary school, carefully using my mom's 35mm. Since then, my work has grown with experience and technology. Between taking pictures of places and friends, I eventually started working for my university's newspaper and magazine and have continued to expand into more facets of the art since then.
