FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do have a standard base price for my photo sessions that can be found on my website. All pricing is a typical base for each session which includes shooting and editing time this does not include digital files. Photo sessions will take place at an agreed upon location of your choice. All options can be discussed and customized prior to confirmation of shoot. I am ALWAYS willing to work with clients based around their budget.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I think it is very important for the client to feel comfortable and to get exactly what they want from a session. I like to email, text or chat with each client before we move forward so that I know what their expectations are. I want my clients to expect to have fun! Allow me to take over the task of catching the shot while you have a blast with your family. Play, tickle, relax, be silly, and truly enjoy the moment! I always encourage people to be themselves. The face a child makes when laughing, or the body language demonstrated by siblings at play are things that could never be recreated. Of course there will be moments where we will scoop everyone back together into a great big family pile and take a few photos that will make Grandma happy but my goal is to capture those moments that happen naturally. I want my camera to capture what you see when you look at your family.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have loved looking at and taking pictures for as long as I can remember, they give me the chance to hold on to memories that almost always pass too quickly. After many years of clicking away for fun I decided it was time to try and chase a dream. When I am behind the camera I want to capture love, laughter and perfectly ordinary moments that pass between people. When I take photos I dont want to hear you say cheese I want to hear the giggles and conversation that come naturally and without prompting, even if they are not completely perfect. My goal is to document the finer details of life as it quickly passes in the most organic and truthful means possible. A photo session may have hundreds of simple moments of connection pass but because I am there, you will be able to look back on them forever
