I am a creator that will capture you for who you are, I will guide you if you need guidance, but my main priority is for you to trust me. I can’t tell you how to love or how to be vulnerable. I can’t tell you how to be happy, because I’m not you, but I can be quiet in the background and allow you to connect with your loved ones.
HOW WE STAND OUT…
It all begins when we connect through an email. I hear your vision for your dream shoot. I read about you and your loved ones. If we connect I will email you back setting the next step to a phone call to get to hear more about you, and I will teach you about the “me” and the approach of my guiding through your session. If i’m being honest my priority is to connect with you before the actual shoot. I’m all about people who are willing to be friends, and not hire a vendor.
2. When you hire me to become your photographer, you’re not just hiring a “vendor.” It is important that you can trust me with your story. I am telling your story in the most vulnerable way. I am coming in to get the most intimate pieces of your story. You must be open to sharing your heart, and the ones of your loved ones. I can’t tell you how to love, but I can guide you and set you in the right tone for it.
3. Be open to be guided with ideas of locations, outfit changes, lighting situations. Flexibility is huge for me, and we must work together. I will be upfront and tell you the truth what will work and what won’t work. My goal is to provide the best results to tell your story.
QUESTIONS &ANSWERS
HOW DID YOU BECOME A PHOTOGRAPHER?
I began experiencing photography when I was a junior in high school. I wanted to take yearbook so I could take all the photos possible, but I was a shy kid, and scared that I would suck at it, so my brother and I would steal my dad’s disposable camera and run the film out in taking selfies, spiders, the river, trees, we would photograph whatever we could find. My brother bought his first Canon Rebel T5 when he was 15yrs old, he would let me borrow it, but I had no idea what to do with it, but I would practice everyday, I would day dream that I would be shooting for Vogue and living in New York shooting for them (not gonna lie, I still have my hopes up for this to happen), anyway I shot my first wedding with that same camera when I was 17yrs, and right there I knew what my new hobby would be and the following year that hobby became my passion. I booked my first two paid weddings, and family photos, and 8 yrs later I am still loving my job as a photographer, today I am doing it with my husband’s support, and he’s even become my second shooter, so you’ll see him everywhere!
WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH?
My goal as a photographer is to capture true love, true emotion. My job is to document a true story to show you where your adventure has started and where it is going. I want to tell your story, and help you go back in time and feel all the emotions captured within an image.
DO YOU TRAVEL?
OMGSH!!! YES!!!! I will go where you want me to go! Ever since I was a child my dad loved traveling and moving to new places. So if you say, “want to get on a plane to shoot our photos.” You can count on me!!
HOW WILL I RECEIVE THE PHOTOS?
Every image will be sent to you via email in a gallery, where you/your family will have access to them.
WHAT DO YOU SHOOT WITH?
Canon 5D Mark IV
Canon R (mirrorless)
DJI Mavic Air 2
Canon 35mm film
Polaroid
I will also pull out my iPhone for BTS
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET OUR PHOTOS BACK? ABOUT HOW MANY PHOTOS WILL WE RECEIVE?
The post processing experience is as follows: 1 week after the wedding you will receive a 50-75 photo to preview and 6 months after the wedding you will receive your full gallery!
WEDDING: On an average of a 10+hr wedding expect to get around 500- 1000 fully edited images (100 photos per hour). I choose and touch up the photos that I believe are the best to tell your story.
ELOPEMENT: On an average of 2-4hrs expect to get about 200 fully edited images. I choose and touch up the photos, that I believe are the best to tell your story.
LIFESTYLE/ FAMILY: This is usually an hour photoshoot. Expect around 75 fully edited images. I choose and retouch the photos that I believe are the best to tell your story.
