Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. I am a 27 year old photographer based in Richmond, VA specializing in wedding, engagement, portrait, and pet photography. I have been professionally capturing families' special moments since 2017 and know my true place in this world is behind the camera. When you book a session with me, my goal is to capture unforgettable moments and guide you along the way (no awkward poses here!). As always, I look forward to working with you and can not wait to see what we can create together.

Being new in the Richmond area, I wasn’t sure of any photographers so I went to Thumbtack and I am so incredibly grateful I came across Mason. Mason was so kind, so professional, so responsive. I sent him pictures of my dream engagement photoshoot and he made it a reality. Absolutely choose Mason for all your photography needs!

Mason was a joy to work with and was a responsive communicator throughout the planning process. He made us feel comfortable and at ease during the shoot. We had never done a photo shoot before so were a little nervous about looking natural, but Mason told us exactly what to do each step of the way and the photos turned out beautiful. I love them all! Even better, Mason delivered the photos in record time and gave us more photos than we expected. Highly recommend working with him!

My friend recently got engaged and we were in desperate need of a photographer for the proposal. Mason was quick to respond and beyond helpful throughout the entire experience. The photos from the day were equally fantastic - Mason was at the location prior to our arrival. Had a great set up and was able to capture the moment perfectly. Thank you again for everything!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I want everybody to be able to cherish special moments through a photo and or video. So, please know I will always try to work with you on the price to make sure we can capture exactly what you're picturing in your head at an affordable price. I will always provide a discount for active and none active military members as well as student discount.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I always like to get more information from my customers when they book with me. Such as who will be in the photos, what type of photos you are looking for, and your general budget. We can do this over the phone or through email (I know some people hate phone calls!)
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have 7+ years of professional experience behind the camera.
