We had such a wonderful experience with our photographer! She was very punctual and professional, which made everything run smoothly. She gave us clear directions and was so flexible and patient throughout the entire session. We especially appreciated how she guided us with poses, making us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Her kindness and attention to detail truly made the experience enjoyable, and we can’t wait to get the results, highly recommend!!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My Travel fees as $25/hr each trip.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I began taking photos when I was in my early teens and slowly moved into portrait photography. My love for photography has done nothing but grow! The best sessions are the ones that I enjoy and my client enjoys too!
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Typically my projects take about 1-2 weeks for small galleries and 3-4 weeks for larger galleries. Delivery always depends on the specific project and what it entails.
