What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
A great photograph tells a story. Being able to look at a photo and understand the emotion is the most important aspect of a great photograph.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
The most important question is "what are your expectations?". A project is most successful when the client and photographer come with high expectations for the outcome of the project.
What do you love most about your job?
I love being able to work with such a diverse population because it keeps the "job" unique. No 2 photoshoots are ever going to be the same and I love the novelty.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My business started entirely by accident. I love taking photos and a friend of mine thought I was good at it. They needed someone to take photos of an event and after asking me to do so, would not let me do so for free. And now here I am as a photographer 5 years later.
Why should our clients choose you?
I want to work with you to make sure that you enjoy your moment. A big part of the process is being able to feel comfortable with your photographer so that you can experience the moment while I capture it. If you want to be comfortable while feeling like a celebrity, let's chat!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Because of the nature of photography, most of my actual services need to be in person. However, due to COVID-19, we can plan everything remotely via Zoom or phone call.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
In an effort to keep us safe, all planning is now done virtually. We can set up Zoom conferences or phone calls to discuss specific details about your shoot. Day of, you can expect me to be wearing a KN95 mask and use hand sanitizer before touching anything that isn't my own camera.
