FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My session pricing is straightforward and varies depending on the type of session: • Senior sessions — $300 • Couple sessions — $350 • Engagement sessions — $400 • Proposal sessions — $500 Please reach out for event pricing! (wedding, elopements etc) These prices do not include travel fees. Travel fees may apply for locations more than 30 minutes outside the Portland, Oregon area and will be discussed with you upfront based on your chosen location.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process is designed to make everything feel easy and personalized from inquiry to gallery delivery. 1. Inquiry & consultation Once you reach out, I’ll learn more about what you’re envisioning, your preferred date, location, and overall style. I’m also happy to help with location recommendations and planning if you’re not sure where you’d like to shoot. 2. Booking Once we’ve settled on the details and confirmed availability, I’ll send over your contract and booking information. Your date is officially reserved once the signed contract and 50% non-refundable retainer are received. 3. Planning Before your session, we’ll finalize the location, timing, and any special details you’d like incorporated. I’ll help guide you through the process so you don’t have to figure everything out on your own. 4. Your session On the day of your session, I’ll guide you through posing and movement while also leaving room for genuine, candid moments. My goal is for the experience to feel natural rather than overly posed, while creating the cinematic, storytelling images that define my work. 5. Editing & gallery delivery After your session, I carefully select and edit your images to create a cohesive final gallery. Your finished images will be delivered through an online gallery where you can view, download, and share your photographs.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
I’ve worked with a wide variety of clients, from couples and newly engaged partners to families, seniors, individuals, and professionals. I photograph everything from intimate couple sessions and proposals to engagements, weddings, portraits, and other meaningful milestones. I especially love working with people who want their photos to feel natural, romantic, cinematic, and true to who they are. Whether you’re comfortable in front of the camera or have never had professional photos taken before, I’ll guide you throughout the session and create a relaxed experience where you can be yourselves.
