Introduction: Hi! I'm Cory. :) My primary goal is personality focused photography! I always want my clients to feel comfortable and relaxed leaving a session. I love working with all different types of people (and pets!). Getting to know my clients and bring out their personalities is the best part. I love capturing moments as authentically as possible. I want my clients to look back at their photos and feel the warmth of their child's smile, see the love in their partner's eyes, or remember the energy and emotion behind their performance. I've been capturing memories professionally for 15 years and have been lucky to experience almost every style from weddings to concerts, families to events, and so much in between. The important common factor is capturing lasting memories for my amazing clients.

My fiancée and I hired Cory to shoot engagement photos and we are over the moon with the results! Cory gave us a beautiful collection of photos that made us look great while capturing our connection. Cory was helpful throughout the whole process. She was quick to respond to our request, gave creative suggestions for locations, and made share we were prepared and comfortable on the day of the shoot. We can't wait to create our wedding website and send out invitations featuring Cory's work. We highly recommend Cory for engagement, wedding or other event photography. A true professional with a great eye!

Details: Couples portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Cory made me feel comfortable from the first communication we had. She was excited and pleased to work with us. She was proactive, but not pushy in establishing a timeline and order of events. She proved flexible and insightful on the day of the wedding, proving her motivation to make the most of her role as photographer. From the minute I met her I felt at ease, and knew she would guide us through the process with skill. She arrived early to get a feel for the venue and lighting. And Then got quickly to work planning critical shots, angles, and opportunities. During picture taking she kept an eye out for additional cute shot opportunities. During family group photos, She worked tirelessly to keep straying and bored family members on task and motivated for the next shot. I can't wait to see the finished product! Thanks Cory!

Details: Wedding • 51 - 100 people • Indoors • Flash drive • $$ (standard) • Bride or groom • $1,000 - $2,000

Cory was very well organized and has a great eye for great shots and poses, very easy to work with and helped make our wedding day run smoothly! It is too soon to see any of the photos from the wedding day, but I anticipate they we be amazing based on her portfolio. We are excited to see the finished product!

I had a maternity photoshoot at the end of May. My partner and I are so awkward in front of the camera and Cory made us very comfortable. We were super happy with our photos. She was so kind and sent us a free 8X10 print coupon after sending our photos a day later than expected(emergencies and life sometimes gets in the way) It wasn't needed but I appreciated that she took the time to do that for us! Thank you again Cory. 10/10 recommended and I will possibly use her in the future for any other photoshoots we may decide to do.

Details: Maternity portrait • Outdoors • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
The price you see is the price you pay, no hidden fees. It includes our session time together, hand edited images, an online gallery, and a print release.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We'll discuss your expectations and wishes so we start off on the same page. I can recommend locations for portrait sessions and provide tips for planning your wedding timeline. If you decide we're a good fit, we'd move forward to discuss the contract and payment.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I attended Indiana University where I studied studio art photography and photojournalism. I worked on the IDS newspaper occasionally from 2009-2014, had an internship with a top Nashville, TN photographer in 2009, and was a South by Southwest photographer in 2011 and 2014.
