A MOMENT OF CONNECTION
I strive to make my sessions a moment of true connection between myself and each of you to capture your essence. But most importantly, I want to tell your unique story through the images I create. I'm looking for the laughter, the whispers, and the stolen glances that truly reflect your bond. Images that will take you back to this moment in time whenever you look at them. To achieve that, we'll plan every detail beforehand, and on the day of the shoot, you'll feel at ease and prepared, trusting you have a good photographer, but also a friend, behind the camera.

FAQ
01/05
What's a no-rush session?
In short, it's a session that lasts a minimum of 60 minutes. On average, we'll spend 2 hours together, walking, chatting, and getting to know each other and your story. This allows me to observe, discover, and capture who you are. This also allows us to plan the session while leaving room for spontaneity. Maybe it starts with drinks and ends at a park, or coffee and a museum, or a slow-paced picnic and a walk with your dog. There's so much we can do together!
What's a local session?
Anywhere within a 12-mile drive of my home in North Bethesda, MD. If you are unsure the location you're interested in is within that distance, just let me know and we'll figure it out. :)
Do you travel for shoots and events?
Yep! I love being on the road and discovering new places. I'm also passport-ready to photograph in the European Union and Brazil. In fact, I have some special discounts for certain dream locations of mine.
Do you offer payment plans?
Happy to! We can divide and schedule your payments up to the session or event date. If you are booking a last minute session or event, that’s okay too. I can still set up a payment plan for you (up to 3 payments, including booking fee). Just be aware that photos are only delivered once all payments have cleared.
How long until I receive my photos?
The digital editing process is about 4-6 weeks for a fully edited gallery. It can really vary depending on how busy the season is. For film images, my lab takes anywhere between 2-4 weeks to develop and scan the rolls. I deliver all images together. I can keep you up to date about the status of your photos if you so wish.
Is there a booking fee?
Yes, a non-refundable booking fee of 33% is due to secure the date of your session. The remaining amount is due 7-3 days before the shoot.
Can I bring my pet to the session?
That's a resounding YES! I love dogs, cats, iguanas... you name it! They'll make the session even more fun. I'd advise having an extra hand on location though. That way when we're taking photos without your pet, you don't have to worry about them.
Do you photograph LGBTQ+ couples, families, and weddings?
Goodness, YES! Absolutely! I'll photograph anyone regardless of sexual orientation, race, religion, gender expression, disabilities, or age. All are welcome! (The fact this question still needs to be asked of artists is unfathomable to me)
Do I need a permit in Washington DC?
Possibly. Many locations in Washington DC and surrounding counties, including the National Mall Parks and Monuments, require a photography permit for sessions. Fees can range between $25 to $500. We'll discuss this as we decide on the location for the session.
