WHY Me?
THERE ARE SO MANY PHOTOGRAPHERS OUT THERE, SO WHY PICK ME?
You want a relaxed experience.
I am not an overly pretentious photographer and strive to capture real and authentic portraits. I will help you feel at ease and make the whole experience enjoyable and fun for the entire family. We will work together before your session to go over any goals you have, poses you like, and if you need it; I can help style you or your family for your portraits. My goal is to make time stand still for you and create portraits you will cherish for years to come.
You want all the portraits and meticulous editing.
Unlike other photographers who limit the number of portraits you receive, I will send ALL the good pictures from your session. There are no extra fees for additional files, nor will I ask you to pick your favorites. Every file you receive will be edited with a fine tooth comb. I hand edit every photo and do not use any AI programs to batch edit. Every portrait gets the personal one on one attention it deserves.
You want timeless photos.
Trends come and go, even in photography, so my goal with editing is to create classic portraits that age beautifully. My editing style is to merely enhance the natural tones, colors, and lighting already present in the photos. You won't look fake, overly edited, or artsy. Instead, you will have natural looking portraits that showcase you and your family as you truly are. Authentic and heartfelt photography.

FAQ
How do we book a session?
Please fill out a the form under the contact tab and I will be in touch within 72 hours. I cannot wait to work with you.
Do you require a deposit and do you offer payment plans?
Yes and Yes! I require a modest 20% deposit to book your session. This is non refundable, but can be transferred if the session needed to be postponed to another date. I will go over all details of the contract with you upon booking so you fully understand the terms. I also offer payment plans to any family that needs it. Typically these payments are made in 3 installments (deposit, remaining 1/2 due the day of the session, and the rest due before the gallery is sent) but I am willing to work with you if you need another option. Weddings or events, payment plans will be discussed on a personal one on one basis.
How will I get my photos back and do you offer printing services?
You will get a sneak peek within 72 hours sent to your email or via text. When the full gallery is ready, you will receive a password protected online gallery. From there, you will have the option to share your gallery and download your files. You will also be able to order prints from my website if desired, or you can choose your own printing company.
Do you travel?
I will travel within 45 minutes of my home to any session location. I am located in Middletown Ohio, so most places within Cincinnati and Dayton are within my travel range. If you need me to travel outside of that range, a fee will be applied and that will be discussed upon booking. I am not currently traveling to locations that require an overnight stay.
Can I request poses or an editing style?
I would love it if you provided ideas and samples of poses that you like or want to try. However, I will help you pose and will provide prompts and suggestions throughout your session. If you like a certain editing style that is different from my usual work, I will do my best to blend our two styles together.
Can I post my photos on social media?
Yes please! All I ask is that you do not edit or crop the photos in any way. I work very hard to make sure every picture is as perfect as it can be and that it represents your family and my photography style. I am always willing to work with you if you need any changes to your portraits. I would also love to be tagged in your photos.
