I love finding that perfect moment, the image that showcases a client's heart and mind, not just their face. With the work I've done as an acting coach and performer, I specialize in bringing that authenticity to the forefront of my work.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
After getting an idea of what the client needs via a questionnaire, I schedule a zoom session to talk over expectations and the day's logistics.
Then we'll get the contract is signed, the deposit is secured, and the date set. Depending on the needs of the customer, sessions can range anywhere from 1 to 4 hours. Please note, any remaining balance is due in full by the end of our shoot.
After the session, I send out a sneak peek of what we did that day within 48 hours, but typically the same day. I give myself up to a week to deliver the final, edited photos - but that typically comes within 72 hours. This will be an entire gallery with every picture at the highest resolution. I do not make my clients pay extra for all of their photos. What we create is your property, and you have access to all of it.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to an acting conservatory in New York, and after graduation, was given the opportunity to come back and teach. My work with the students eventually led me to pick up a camera to take headshots and audition reels, and I have been obsessed ever since.
I've gone on to study photography with several headshot and portrait photographers in New York and have never stopped learning. I taught film, photography, and acting at the Fame high school in NYC (Known as LaGuardia Highschool).
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
Pricing varies, but it usually comes out to around $150 for every hour we shoot. This fee also covers all work I do before and after our shoot. So if we work for three hours and the price is ~$450, you'll only pay ~$450. I do not charge for editing - that is covered. This incentivizes me and ensures that transactions are transparent and you know exactly how much is due and when.
Please note that a deposit of 25% of the shoot cost is due when scheduling the work.
