Innovate Images
About
I really enjoy photographing people knowing I had role in capturing memories that will be looked at for generations to come. When you book a photoshoot with me, my belief is when you look great, you feel great. That's why I provide a complimentary makeup session with every package I offer on my website.
Believe it or not, the best part of my job is the editing process. I consider myself to be a visual surgeon when I doing post editing in Photoshop. I've gone the extra mile to become a certified Adobe Photoshop professional. My end result is the wow factor from each of my clients.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I reach out to a new client by phone or email regarding an interest in a photo/ video session with Innovate Images. Details are gathered from the client and information is sent to them about the type of session they're wanting. Once a contract has been signed and the retainer fee is paid to hold their date, the planning stage begins. A phone call is set aside to discuss location, wardrode/ makeup, questions/ concerns, etc.. I do another follow up call two week before the session. Within this time frame, all details pertaining to the shoot are completed. The day of the shoot, the client has makeup done and we shoot. A week later, proofs from the session are shown to the client and images are selected for editing, and optional products (albums, enlargements, etc.) are purchased. 3-4 weeks later, the final images and products are mailed to the client or arranged for pick up.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated, May 2020, from HCC with an Associate's degree in Photography. I'm also a certified Adobe Photoshop professional.

How did you get started in this business?
I picked up a used camera at a pawn shop and uploaded images from the session with my cousin to Facebook. I was shocked to receive positive reviews and started my pursuit of photography. The rest is history.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I've worked with a variety of clients from all different backgrounds.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I shot a destination wedding of a client in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. It was a four day event documenting the couple and I enjoyed every minute of it. Traveling on that session really opened my eyes to the possibility of traveling worldwide to shoot weddings.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
Research the photographer you're interested in doing a session with. They may/ may not be the style of photography you want after doing a session. Do not be consumed with price when it comes to quality work. Photography is a luxury service and standalones (such as JCPenney, Sears Photo, Picture People, etc.) do not match the personal experience you'll receive when hiring a pro photographer. Expect to spend $500+ more than what you budgeted for. In the end, you get what you pay for.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
How much is my budget?
How long does it take to receive the final product?
Are there any extra fees associated with the cost that are hidden?
How far in advance should I book the photography session?
What style of photography do I want?
