FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
To best serve you, I like to get to know you! Photography is personal - your photography session should be a reflection of you. As soon as you are scheduled on my calendar you will be given a questionnaire to help me understand your needs. I am always available through text and phone conversations too! We will choose a location and a time for our photoshoot and I will guide you in any choices for clothing, items or other artistic elements. The day of your photography we meet 10 minutes before your shoot and I will walk you through a fun and professional 30-60 minute session. Photoshoots are always kept upbeat, fun and easy. Your photos are done and delivered in an online gallery. It is convenient to download your photographs from and to buy prints from.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I fell in love with photography 20 years ago! When my first kiddo was born. I followed her around with a camera nearly everyday of her life. In the last twenty years I have gotten Master's in Fine Arts courses in photography, graphic design and illustration. I adore communities of professionals who learn from each other and have taken many professional development classes in photography, posing and editing.

- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Photography is a very personal experience. First and foremost, check out the photographer's work that you are considering and determine if their artistic style matches your own. Next, get to know your photographer a little - being relaxed behind the camera is important.
