Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before diving deep into a project. I love to set up. consultation to ensure that I am providing my clients with the best service. I strongly believe that these calls help establish a fun and light relationship that translates to the end result of a shoot. My goal as a photographer is to make sure that my clients are comfortable and happy.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have studied medium format and film photography for the past 5 years. I have learned from many different photographers and have been able to hone my skills. I have been published in the May 2023 issue of Prazzel and featured in Bmore Art, Shoutout Atlanta, Voyage Baltimore, and Canvas Rebel. My ability to weave personal and collective stories into my work continues to push the boundaries of visual storytelling, making me a rising star in contemporary photography.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I offer price package options for each service I provide. After consultation calls, I am happy to send out the list to see which package best fits the client's needs.
How did you get started in this business?
I got started in this business during the 2020 quarantine. What started as a hobby for me grew to be something I fell in love with, I knew it was my calling. I love the whole process of photography, from meeting new people to seeing the finished product on the screen. Photography has brought me so many opportunities and I love that I am able to do what I love and provide people with lasting photos.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
One key bit of advice I would give to customers would be to have an idea of what you'd like your shoot to look like. Do not be afraid to gather some inspiration photos and send them along to your photographer. This helps photographers know exactly how to assist/create with you and potentially get you in contact with some additional resources like a stylist, makeup artist, hair stylist, etc.
