FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing varries based on individual needs and session type.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I enjoy meeting new clients and hearing about their ideas for their session.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started photography as a hobby. I used to travel a lot. I wanted to remember all of my adventures in a meaningful way. I taught myself about photography techniques to better capture things the way that I experienced them. When our family expanded, I learned a whole new set of techniques so I could continue this with my new growing family.
