FAQs

Do you photograph _______?

Probably! I specialize in photographing people and telling their stories through images, but I also work with brands for more curated imagery, and occasionally events. If you think you have something that I’ve never done before, email me and we can chat!

Will this be awkward? We’re kind of weird, are you a good fit for us?

Trust me when I say: weirdos are my specialty. I love people with big hearts and bigger stories. I’m naturally drawn to people with tattoos and foul mouths, and as long as you’re not a racist or hateful asshole, we’ll get along just fine. I can’t believe I have to say this in 2020, but I am wholly, and without reservation LGBTQIA+ friendly. If you’re down to get photographed, I’m here for you. And if you’re a little awkward in front of the camera, we can overcome that together,

Where are you located? Do you travel?

I live in Los Angeles, and shoot all over Southern California, but am always up for an adventure. In recent years I’ve photographed in Las Vegas, Mexico, Texas and all up and down the California coast. Oh, and if you ask me to meet you in Joshua Tree, it’s an automatic yes.

What do your sessions cost?

I offer different packages and sessions to meet a variety of desires and budgets. Send me an inquiry and I’ll get back to you with my full price guide.

What gear do you use? Do you have backups?

I use a few pro-series DSLRs from Canon, and a suite of prime lenses and flashes. I always have more than enough equipment to create great photos even if something breaks. Digital files are always backed up to ensure nothing goes wrong during editing.

What’s included in your packages?

Short answer: it depends! Wedding and portrait packages include a variety of coverage options, and included deliverables (albums, second photographers, engagement sessions). All sessions include fully edited digital images, as well as access to my pro print lab.

I have a question that’s not answered here. Help?
