FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Please contact me directly through my website or via text, not through this app. Thumbtack's calendar does not reflect my availability. I love capturing candid moments -- surprise engagements, corporate events, weddings, parties... I deliver all my high-resolution digital images through Pixieset. Pixieset is an amazing platform that allows my clients to easily download and share all of their images immediately. I always provide my customers with a quick preview album within a few hours of the event as I know my clients enjoy that. I then provide the fully edited high-resolution images within a week to ten days of the event, depending on the event's length.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love meeting new people and working with new customers. I want my customers to know that I'm willing to explore with them any location, pose or idea. Some of my best sessions have come from the spontaneous ideas that clients and I have developed together. I had a couple who came to Chicago with limited time on military leave. Even though it rained their entire session, we chose locations that complimented the dramatic mood that the rain provided. Another morning, while I was doing engagement photography, the fog crept in and we capitalized on it, and got some amazing shots.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Where photography is concerned, I've always had to have the latest and the best. From junior high on, I've been obsessed with finding the best way to capture the moments around me. I've been taking photos for so long, that it's second nature to me. I'm extremely responsive to the changing demands of a dynamic photo shoot. I can be responsive because I have the right gear for any circumstance. I always have my Nikon D850 and my Nikon D750 on me while shooting any event or portrait session. I also have a variety of lenses on me so that I'm never surprised by changing lighting or other unknown factors. Even if it's bright and sunny, I always bring several flashes and have them ready. They're important to balance the different lighting conditions that are always present.
