Answers to your Qs
Lets get down to business. Money. While pricing is important and I do believe things should be reasonable whilst also being competive (my prices are matched on par to the market in my area) lets just forget about money for a moment.
Lets instead focus on what you are investing in first: a photographer (A.K.A someone who will capture those special moments that you spend your hard earned money on). And why you should choose ME!
Anyone can buy a camera, tack a filter on it, and call it a day. I choose to emphasize first on capturing the genuine emotion that YOU as a client have thats unique to you and nobody else. From there, I focus on creating beautiful timeless images that I treat like fine art that you will be able to have forever. Because once the moment passes, the ring is on, the lights go down, all you will have left to remember them are photos.
What separates me further is that I crave adventure and I love creating art from the ordinary which influences what I choose to capture in my photos. I am here to serve the crazy souls who want to jump in the water at sunset all the way to intimate lovers who want to have a beautiful photo of them in Hawaii to hang for their future kids to see.
If at all I struck a cord with the type of photographer your looking for...contact me and lets create MAGIC!

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How far in advance should I book with you?
Typically you should always book at least a month advance for courtesy. Doing so will allow me to organize you easily into my schedule and leave more time to communicate and collaborate on your desired session. However, I am open to all bookings even if they are last minute. Don't be upset, if you ask last minute during a busy time and I have to politely decline.
2. How long does it take you to deliver photos?
2-3 weeks normally. A month or more if during busy season.
3. How will I receive my photos?
Via an online gallery (Pixieset)
4. I've booked with you before through a discounted offer. Will the shoot cost the same if I book again?
Discounted offers are limited-time only and will not cost the same if you book again. However I will offer a small discount if you choose to book with me again. I love working with clients again.
5. Why do you use a contract for wedding collections?
I use contracts for wedding collections because weddings are a higher caliber/importance of session. A lot is at staked so making sure all the details are covered and parties are on the same page is crucial to making everything run smoothly. My contracts are easy to understand and layout what I will be offering as a service.
6. Why do your collections require a non-refundable deposit?
Some of my collections require a deposit to secure your desired date. If 100 people get married during the summer, securing your date with the photographer you want (me) is very important so you don't have to worry about my schedule clashing with yours.
