Would you believe me if I said a majority of my clients worry about this? Don’t worry. I don’t expect you to be a professional model. First of all, I’ll take some time to get to know you first, we’ll choose a location and look that makes you feel comfortable. We'll also plan to have plenty of time, so no one feels rushed.  When I do start taking photos, the process is laid back. I’ll find the most beautiful lighting and scenery and give you easy instructions, asking you to move and interact in a way that allows me to capture candid moments in a flattering style. There will be times when you probably forget I’m right there. When viewing your finished photos, you'll probably say something like, "OMG this is me, who knew I was so cute/cool/fun?"  At least, this has been my experience so far!

Branding shoots are typically photographed on Mondays or Wednesdays. However, I try to be flexible for my clients and their business, so if those days cannot work, we will find something that does!

I am able to photograph anything really, and literally custom taylor my coverage to meet your unique needs.  I typically focus on capturing creative portraits and an eclectic mix of photos that tell your personal story, including natural moments as they occur.  Everything from professional headshots, lifestyle headshots (showing your personality and interests), behind the scenes photos (including client interaction and you at work), detail shots (including products or items with your branding) and interiors and exteriors if applicable. I have photographed many unique businesses and really I love diversity and am up for whatever!

Of Course you are (don't worry most of them felt the same way)!  Remember you'll be seeing yourself **through my eyes**. I'll take time to get to know you and suggest interesting ideas as early as our first meeting.  I can't wait to capture photos that are uniquely you and your business!

Don't worry!  As we brainstorm together I'll give you a general idea of how long each of your concepts will take to photograph.  I'll create a basic timeline to accomplish those goals in a way that is realistic and low-stress so that your true colors will show in camera.  

Absolutely!  If you book me, I will be the photographer assigned to your session. I do not assign different photographers to my clients. All of the images on my site were shot by me or my assistant, and are not a compilation of dozens of photographers’ best work. When you book me, what you see is what you get–quality artisanship and personal attention.

Sure is!  I've been a professional photographer for over ten years.  I still have to pinch myself sometimes that I get to do something that is so much fun on a daily basis!  Most wedding photographers do this in addition to their full time job.  By hiring me, you know that this is my full-time occupation and that you and your business gets my full attention.  

Anywhere.  While you've probably noticed most of my work is close-ish to home: DC, NYC, Philly, Pennsylvania etc I've also traveled a little farther for clients in Nashville, Niagara Falls, Outer Banks and many other locations. 

You are not alone, this actually happens a lot-- I know as a small business owner myself, investing in your business requires planning, it also usually takes a bit to get on my calendar.  If your heart is set on working together, your best bet is to reach out and say something like, "I'm planning to get branding photos in (insert your season of choice)" and ask to schedule a preliminary video chat, this will get the process started.  This sort of flexibility basically ensures that we will be able to work together & give you time to plan, yay!!!

Now!  If your heart is set on working together, your best bet is to reach out and say something like, "I'd really like to have branding photography done (insert your season of choice) and (insert year or choice)" and ask me what dates I have open.  This sort of flexibility basically ensures that we will be able to work together yay!!!

Easy!  Just contact me and we'll arrange a time to get to know each other over video chat and ensure that we are a perfect match.  Making it official is easy, too--  everything can be done on-line and takes about ten minutes! Click here to contact me!
