You don't provide all the digitals?

Digitals are available for $150 per image. I strive for quality over quantity, much like commissioning a painter to create an oil painting. There is a lot of time, planning, and expertise that goes into every frame, with lighting, styling, posing, post-production, and product delivery. We are a full-service photography studio and want to provide you with an amazing experience.

What equipment do you use?

I photograph on a Canon Full format camera, with two card slots to ensure an automatic backup of your images. I use an array of prime lenses and always have backup cameras & cards. My lighting equipment is a collection of speedlights, monolights, and strobes.

How do I book?

The first step is to contact me to discuss potential dates. The next step is the consultation to chat details about how you want to be photographed on the same call. Once we choose a date and discussed the vision for your shoot, a signed contract and $1500 retainer are required to secure photography services.
