Frequently Asked Questions

The saying "you get what you pay for" is all too true. While paying cheaper prices are nice, some things in life are worth investing in and I feel your photographs are worth it! Time is fleeting, so capturing those precious moments are priceless. The main reason Custom Portrait Photography costs so much more than studio chains is because your photographer is investing a great amount of time in YOU. Each photo is hand edited and a lot of time and effort goes into each photo.

I have so many inspirations that come from many different places and I try to implement them in my images. I love raw and real emotion and at the same time I love directed poses. I adore beautiful natural lighting, incredible backgrounds and choosing locations very carefully. I believe in great customer service and will continually strive to provide my clients the best experience every session. There are those that believe and I am one of them; "A talent is provided from a higher power". In fact, many have stated that; "I have an innate talent to capture the true essence of life and all beauty within each session".

My goal is to make sure that you receive the BEST final product I can give you, which can take some time. While I want to get them back to you as soon as possible because I know you will be dying to print them. I cherish the fact that these photos are your most precious memories that will last a lifetime and will be passed on to your future generations. My typical turnaround time for sessions is between 1-2 weeks. Edited/Fully Retouched images delivery varies (i.e., High Resolution Digital Download Delivery, or USB).
