ABOUT ME
As a dedicated lifestyle photographer, I pride myself on my ability to capture the genuine essence and emotional depth of life's precious moments. My approach revolves around authentically portraying the candid beauty found in everyday situations. With a passion for storytelling through imagery, I thrive on documenting genuine emotions and real-life narratives rather than contrived poses. Whether in outdoor landscapes, intimate settings, bustling events, or serene public spaces, I aim to find the raw authenticity of my subjects' experiences, creating timeless photographs that resonate on a profound level.
My photography style is characterized by darker tones with a fall, golden moody vibe. I gravitate towards capturing the warmth and richness of autumnal hues, infusing my images with a sense of coziness and nostalgia. By embracing shadows and playing with light, I create atmospheric compositions that evoke emotion and storytelling. Whether in portraits or wedding photography, my signature style lends a timeless and cinematic quality to each image, capturing the essence of the moment with depth and resonance.
To ensure availability and allow for proper planning, I recommend booking your portrait session or wedding date as early as possible. Typically, for portrait sessions, scheduling at least 2-3 weeks in advance is ideal, especially during peak seasons or if you have specific preferences for dates and locations. For weddings, it's advisable to book your photographer 6-12 months ahead of your desired date to secure your preferred photographer and ensure they have ample time to prepare and customize their services to your needs. However, don't hesitate to reach out even if your date is sooner as I'll do my best to accommodate your request based on availability. Early booking not only guarantees your spot but also allows for a smoother planning process, ensuring that every detail is carefully considered and executed to perfection.
Absolutely! Engagement sessions and pre-wedding consultations are an integral part of my photography services. I highly recommend scheduling these sessions to not only capture beautiful moments leading up to your big day but also to establish a connection and ensure that we're on the same page creatively.
Engagement sessions provide a wonderful opportunity for us to get to know each other better and for you to become more comfortable in front of the camera. These sessions often result in stunning photos that reflect your unique love story and personalities.
Similarly, pre-wedding consultations are essential for us to discuss your vision, preferences, and any specific requests you may have for your wedding photography. This allows me to tailor my services to your needs and ensures that we're fully prepared to capture every precious moment on your wedding day.
Both engagement sessions and pre-wedding consultations are included in my photography packages for this very reason. They help to enhance the overall experience and ensure that we can create timeless, meaningful photographs that you'll cherish for a lifetime.
I understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise, leading to the need for cancellations or rescheduling. However, I kindly ask for your cooperation and understanding regarding these situations.
For cancellations or rescheduling, please notify me as soon as possible to discuss available options.
Regarding deposits or retainers, they are typically non-refundable but can be transferred to a future session or event within a reasonable timeframe, subject to availability.
In the event of inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances beyond our control, we can work together to find an alternative date or location for your session or event.
Ultimately, my goal is to accommodate your needs and ensure a positive experience, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns or questions regarding the cancellation or rescheduling policy.
Upon completion of your portrait session or wedding event, your images will be delivered to you in digital format via your own personalized online gallery.
The number of images you'll receive can vary depending on the duration of the session or event, as well as other factors such as the number of locations and outfit changes. Typically, for a portrait session, you can expect to receive a curated selection of high-quality images capturing various poses and expressions. For weddings, the number of images will reflect the full scope of your day, including getting ready, ceremony, reception, and other significant moments.
As for the format, your images will be provided in a high-resolution JPEG format, ensuring optimal quality for printing and sharing.
Rest assured, each image will be carefully edited to enhance its beauty while preserving its authenticity, ensuring that you receive a timeless collection of photographs that you'll treasure for years to come.
I understand the anticipation of receiving your final images, and I strive to deliver them to you in a timely manner while ensuring the highest quality. The turnaround time for receiving your final images can vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the editing process, the number of images captured, and the current workload.
Generally, for portrait sessions, you can expect to receive your final edited images within 1-2 weeks after the session date. Previews typically within 1-2 days. For weddings, due to the larger volume of images and the comprehensive coverage of your special day, the turnaround time may be slightly longer, typically ranging from 3-5 weeks. However, I do try to have a preview set completed within 1-2 days.
During peak seasons or if there are unforeseen circumstances that may affect the editing process, I will keep you informed about any delays and provide updates on the progress of your images.
Rest assured, I prioritize quality and attention to detail in every aspect of my work, and I will strive to deliver your final images promptly while ensuring they meet or exceed your expectations. If you have any specific concerns or deadlines, please feel free to discuss them with me, and I will do my best to accommodate your needs.
