Two things; a signed contract and a paid retainer. That's it. Once both are in place your date is locked in.

For weddings, your full gallery will be delivered within 8-10 weeks. For all other portrait sessions it's 3-4 weeks. You'll also receive sneak peeks within 3-4 days because I know waiting is the hardest part!

Honestly? I hear this ALL the time and i promise you're not as awkward as you think. I'll give you ways to interact with each other rather that just standing there staring at me. Think less 'okay smile' and more 'whisper something that'll make them laugh.' The natural moments happen on their own, I just create the space for them.

You can expect a minimum of 60 edited images per hour of coverage. I'm not trying to overwhelm  you with every single frame I took. I'm curating your story. Keeping the ones that actually matter. Quality over quantity, always.

Yes! And I love it! I'm based in Dayton, Ohio but I photograph your love wherever it takes you. Travel fees vary by location so just reach out and let's talk details!

I edit the way I shoot, with intention. My style is warm, filmic, and organic. Think deep earthy tones, soft contrast, and a color palette that feels like a memory rather than a filter. Nothing over processed, nothing trendy. Just images that feel like they could have always existed.

I do use a consistent preset collection as a starting point, but every image gets its own attention. I'm adjusting for the light, the mood, the skin tones, the whole feeling of the day. It's less "one click" and more obsessing over every single photo until it feels exactly right. There's consistency across my work, but no two galleries ever look exactly the same. Because no two days do either
