FAQ
Do you photograph weddings?
Short answer: No. But also yes.
This is definitely my most-asked question and for good reason. My first 4+ years of photography experience was mainly in weddings & engagements; however, I stopped booking weddings the summer of 2021 and shot my last wedding in December of 2022. While I no longer am booking traditional 6-10+ hour wedding days, I am open to photographing micro weddings, small ceremonies, and elopements. I still love weddings but needed a break from the long, stressful days -- this allows me to have my cake and eat it too.

How much do your sessions cost?
Sessions start at $375. All sessions include at least 60 minutes of photo coverage. Sales tax is incorporated into the price and there are never any hidden fees!
How would you describe yourself and your style?
I mean this as humbly as possible, but I personally think I'm a good time. When I'm behind the camera, I have a ton of energy. I once had a friend shoot a wedding with me and he couldn't believe how enthusiastic I was all day. I'm easy to talk to and enjoy making new connections. I make fun of myself all the time...there's a good chance I might tease you during your session, too! My clients seem to really like my pace of shooting, which is normally quick and fast paced to keep the energy flowing.
While I have more of a fun, documentary-type style, I would also describe my style as classic. Not many photographers still take "look at the camera and smile" photos, but I personally think those are just as important as the candids. I do a mix between posed photography and prompt photography to get a variety of images. My editing style is colorful and on the warmer side. I prefer to enhance a photo's natural colors and beauty rather than change the mood altogether. I love tall dead grasses and sun flares - do with that information as you will.
When will we get our photos?
You will receive an online gallery link with all of your edited photos within maximum of 3-4 weeks after your session date. However, I always do my best to get you your photos much sooner than that. If it takes the full 4 weeks, that means I am SLAMMED.
How many pictures will we receive?
It truly depends on several factors, but a safe estimate for an hour session would be around 50-70 photos, possibly more. Rest assured I will always deliver all photos that are keepers, even if that goes over this photo estimate. It would just feel wrong to keep good photos to myself and not give them to my client who paid for them.
Do I have to pay extra for my photos?
Nope. As far as I'm concerned, you paid me to take your photos, so those photos are yours. I will still hold the copyright, but you are free to download, share, and print your photos as much as your little heart desires. No hidden fees, either - those are the worst.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I'm based in South Central PA along the outskirts of Harrisburg, but I love to travel and go to new places. If you want me to photograph your story and you aren't local, it may require a travel fee depending on where your session takes place.
If you're feeling adventurous, there are some places I've been dying to go for a fun change of scenery. I realize booking anything in these places may be a long shot, but you know what they say, ""You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. - Wayne Gretzsky" - Michael Scott."

Any locations you can recommend for my session?
Absolutely! I have a list of public locations I regularly give my clients in the Harrisburg/York/Carlisle areas. I love adding new places to my list, so please don't be afraid to suggest somewhere new.
Do you offer printed products or artwork?
I do - I offer a variety of professional-quality products that are only available to photographers to help preserve your favorite memories for the long haul. The gallery & heirloom artwork that I have available for purchase includes framed prints, canvases, photo albums & photo books. The albums are my favorite - they are a total show stopper and I absolutely love designing them. I made my own wedding album and the quality absolutely blew me away. It is a statement piece on my coffee table and I look at it often. I can't wait to make more as we encounter other milestones in the future.
Other items such as photo gifts, cards, magnets, etc. are available as well. Contact me for pricing and more information.
