We love the reminders of the loved ones who are no longer around. But why aren’t we celebrating the ones who are still here?

I don’t just take pictures.

I put happiness on your walls.

Question: Why are your prices so high? Every other photographer I’ve seen is cheaper.

Answer: I’m a full-service photographer. I get to know you during our first call. We will then meet in person, where you can touch and feel the albums and artwork, and you will receive a price list. After the portrait session, and during the ordering appointment, you pick all your favorite images, and I’ll order everything. I don’t give you homework (as one person referenced it). Then your albums and wall art are hand-delivered to you. Yes, we have quite a few touch points. I’m creating something for you that will last for generations.

Question: I booked you 4 years ago, and you gave us a gallery. Why can’t you just do that again?

Answer: I realized I wasn’t serving clients in a way that I should have. I visited a family friend, I took photos for and only sent a gallery. She printed a photo of her daughter from her home computer and taped it to the wall. I was mortified!! I didn’t tell anyone at the party that I took that photo. And, from then on, I vowed to print everything for my clients. Quality over quantity.

For the people whose inside world is the most magical thing about them.

You see the world a little differently. You notice the beautiful things. You have a whole universe inside you, the fandoms, the passions, the quirks, the excitement, and not a single photo has ever shown any of it.

Until now.

For the book nerds. The Star Wars fans. The moms who are so much more than just a mom. The artists. The dreamers. The ones who see beauty where nobody else looks.

I don't need a brief. I just need to be in the room with you.
