The session fee pays for us to travel to your shoot, the shoot length, the number of people included in the portraits, and one proof book.

Our prints vary in price depending on the paper, canvas, or metal options as well as any extras added. Wedding prices start at $2,900. This includes travel time within 60 miles of area code 30103, wedding day coverage by 2 photographers, print credit, a wedding proof book, and an engagement session with a proof book. We are more than happy to go to your destination location as well! Please contact us to schedule an in person consultation to discuss more details.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Through the PPA (Professional Photographers of America) we are encouraged to listen to webinars, attend seminars and conventions, as well as contact other professional photographers through a social media type website just for us pros. We have a strong photographer community that we can turn to when we have a tough question, need some new inspiration, or just want to learn something new. We are also very lucky to live so close to a past president of the PPA. We travel to his studio for a private lessons on editing, lighting, and go over new images to point out the good, the bad and the ugly. We also enjoy going back through older work and seeing what we have improved on, it's amazing how much change can happen in just a couple of months!
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have always been artsy. I enjoy drawing and painting and being crafty, I'm GREAT a making messes! My parents encouraged me to go to art school and find a job where I could use my artsy-ness. After working in the not so artsy field of an industrial supply room, and dropping out of boring business school, I found the New York Institute of Photography and signed up for their program. It was a good little stepping stone in the right direction of where I wanted to be. About 3/4 of the way through classes, I was laid off from the supply room job. This is when Josh and I decided it was the perfect time to go full time with the home photography office. We worked hard to build a clientele and now just a few year later we are going strong and haven't looked back!
