About
I love working with my clients (some of whom wind up becoming friends!). I can get a smile out of anyone - I love the challenge! At events, my goal is to ensure that fun is had by all and that I capture those moments.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I love working with new customers ... I like to chat on the phone and / or meet in person to get to know them beforehand. I'm also available ahead of the shoot and will send helpful information as their photosession date appraoches.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been taking photos for the past 20 years ... professionally since 2015 and I belong to a business networking group that has helped my business to thrive. I also belong to several online chat rooms and websites to continually hone my photography skills.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
My pricing system is not standard ... it all depends on the type of photoshoot that is being requested. I've been told that my pricing for any type of shoot I provide is considered average.
How did you get started in this business?
I started taking photos of my nephews and nieces and then focused mostly on my children. When I left Corporate America in 2015, I turned my passion into a business and I've been extremely happy with this decision.
What types of customers have you worked with?
There's no one-type of customer with whom I work. I take a lot of senior yearbook headshots and I do a lot of sports photography as well. I also have many customers who are seeking family, newborn and maternity sessions.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I've finally dabbled in wedding photography and have loved it. My most recent bride was the most relaxed person I've ever met ... her wedding was so much fun and her parents wanted to pay me more $ at the end of the ceremony because everyone in attendance loved my photography style of shooting. (FYI, I declined the offer of extra money.)
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
The biggest piece advice I could give you is to know, like & trust your photographer. If you're not comfortable with the person you hire, it will show in your photos.
