Pay It Forward
If you are interested in paying-it-forward please mention this when you book. For every paid photo session, I will donate a free session to an individual or family of lesser means. Many families do not have the means to afford family portraits. I believe every family needs a family photo, regardless of circumstance.

FAQ
What happens if the weather turns bad?
All portrait and family sessions will be cancelled if weather does not permit the scheduled outdoor shoot. For documentary sessions this will depend upon whether the event or occasion is cancelled due to weather.
What if my kids do not cooperate (melt down)?
If your children melt down then they are normal -- and your images will be very authentic. Your child(ren) will probably begin protesting before you even arrive at the shoot. Please, do not worry. I have a few tricks up my sleeve, and sometimes they even work! Kids will listen to the photographer more than their parents - at least at the beginning of the session. They often forget they are angry and become curious and interested (at least for 15 minutes).
How long does it take to get my images?
10 to 14 days after your shoot you will receive a password to access your online gallery. Payment of $200 must be made in full prior to receiving the gallery. It will take another 14 days to design your photo book. During this time I will offer you advice about selecting the right prints for your home decor (if desired).
What kind of gear do you use?
I use a Nikon Z611, D810 and 85mmm 1.8, 50mm 1.4 and 35mm 1.4 prime lenses.
Do I have to order prints through you?
No . The online gallery allows you to download all your images. You can then print any or all of the images as you wish using any printing service.
If you purchase the Gallery & Photo Book or PhotoBook & Prints Package you will receive professionally printed products.
I can arrange printing of gift prints, canvas prints, photo books and other items if you would like. I use a Wall Art program that can help you identify the best prints and sizes for your home.
What if I need to cancel?
Cancellations must be made 24 hours before your session time. Failure to cancel 24 hours ahead will mean you lose the $100 / hour prepaid session fee.
Do you do large groups?
Family lifestyle sessions are for your immediate family only. Additional families will increase the session fee. Documentary sessions may have large groups.
What do we wear?
No neon colors or sport logos / team jerseys. If you want to coordinate your colors please do but you do not need to be matchy-matchy or 'perfectly' dressed. (I have had kids wearing costumes for family portraits).
Your clothes tell a story - so think about the type of story you want to tell through your images.
Documentary sessions are whatever you have on the day.
