Questions
What locations do you photograph in?
I primarily serve Troy, Ohio and surrounding areas including Dayton. Most sessions take place at outdoor locations chosen by the client within these regions.
What makes your photography style unique?
My approach focuses on capturing genuine emotions and natural interactions rather than stiff poses. I prioritize documenting authentic connections between family members and loved ones.
How quickly will I receive my photos?
Turnaround time varies by session type but typically ranges from 2-4 weeks. Newborn and senior portraits usually have faster delivery times than wedding packages.
Do you offer newborn safety guarantees?
Yes, I follow strict safety protocols during newborn sessions. I never pose babies unsafely and always have a parent present for any potentially risky compositions.
What payment options are available?
Sessions require a $20 retainer to book. Final payments are due before your session date. I accept major credit cards and cash payments for all services.
