FAQ
ABOUT ME
- WHO ARE YOU?
I am a photographer, editor, website designer, and lover of all things chocolate. I obtained a bachelor's degree in marketing at Texas Tech University, wreck 'em Tech! I will hit my 4 year mark in August at my full-time job as an Operations Manager for a private family trust. Photography is my passion and my hobby, so I aim to be affordable, but also cover the countless hours I spend editing photos (side note: I'm a perfectionist).
- WHAT IS YOUR STYLE?
MY PERSONAL SHOOTING STYLE IS COLORFUL BUT EDGY. I LOVE MOVEMENT AND CANDID "POSES". I DO HOWEVER LISTEN TO MY CLIENTS AND TRY TO FOCUS ON THEIR INDIVIDUAL STYLES AS WELL.
- WHAT KIND OF PHOTOSHOOTS DO YOU OFFER?
PORTRAITS, COUPLES, CORPORATE HEADSHOTS, REAL ESTATE, ENGAGMENTS, PROPOSALS, FAMILIES, SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT, FITNESS. (CONTACT ME DIRECTLY TO INQUIRE ABOUT WEDDINGS, I ONLY DO A HANDFUL A YEAR)
- DO YOU EDIT AND RETOUCH ALL THE PHOTOS?
I am a firm believer in using my camera to create lovely images but I do touch up exposure and color. If I deliver a black & white photo, it's meant to be that way. I do not deliver unedited images or RAW images. With editing styles and different lighting situations comes a variation in how your skin tones may look. Since I aim to keep the colors in my images true to life I also focus on making sure your skin tone looks true to life too.
- WHY HIRE YOU?
I HAVE TEN YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND TRY TO CREATE A FUN ATMOSPHERE FOR SHOOTING. I GET CREATIVE WITH LOCATIONS AND PROPS AS WELL AS PROVIDE DIRECTION ON POSING AND OUTFITS IF REQUESTED. I PROMISE WE WILL BECOME BESTFRIENDS.
