Picture time


I know that the more comfortable you are, the better the photos turn out. I'm the one that comes prepared, so you don't have to

Delivering photos


Most shoots see a turnaround within a week. While for larger shoots and busier times this is subject to change, I pride myself on my quick delivery.


My full digital galleries include a built-in print store, and the digitals are the full image size so you can print them yourself

During the session


  • Relaxed - I prepare so you don't have to. Many reviews quote the experience as easy, and efficient yet not rushed
  • Guided - None of my example photos are models. I specialize in making you feel natural as I pose you
  • Mindful - Sessions start with questions like which side you prefer & how you like your hair so each photo counts
  • Collaborative - I show you the photos as we go to make sure you love them. It's also fun hearing "Wow I look good!"
  • Enjoyable - I'm a people person. I love your stories and sharing a laugh
  • Consistent - Believe it or not, your photos will look like my example galleries. I post every gallery
  • Professional - Everything is organized and nicely presented, and I work hard for a client-first experience. I've never had a serious mishap thanks to my backups & routines

FAQ's

This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?

If you show up looking how you'd like and with any props you'd like, that's all you have to worry about! Any specific inspiration you want to replicate are welcome, but aside from that I'll take care of everything with posing and ideas

What should I wear for my graduation photos?

Most ladies do black or white and men do navy or black. I personally think a white dress looks sharper and adds variety to gown-off photos!

How many pictures will I receive?

For most shoots, I guarantee 60 fully edited photos included in the photoshoot cost (we all hate hidden feeds). Most of the time it ends up being more, and for events it's usually closer to 200

Are you available outside of Atlanta?

I don't charge a transit fee unless it gets to be around an hour of total driving. I have flown for an event before and am happy to do so again for a fee!

How do I know I'm worry-free?

I do just about everything on contract. It's clear and concise, and favors both parties to make sure we both get the best in every scenario. I also bring backups of each equipment item with me and take many digital safety measures to care for my clients' once-in-a-lifetime moments

What equipment do you use?

I shoot on a Sony A7iv with a duplicate backup. 33MP photos means you can print them as large as reasonably desirable without losing resolution. I keep 2 Godox flashes on me at events
