Phenomenal photo at a great price point. Overall very easy to work with and was very accommodating meeting very quickly. The shoot itself was very fast (approx 10 mins), but I got the photo I was looking for.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is flexible and reflects the amount of time I use for the initial meet up, photo shoot time, toning and editing of the album, and any final changes required by the client.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I schedule a call to discuss style and location and clarify what their specific needs are for the photo shoot. Then its on to planning the day and making sure all the necessary goals are reached for the shoot.

I attended graduate school for photography and I also have worked professionally as a photojournalist. My work has been published by the Associated Press and the Washington Times.
