Now's the best time to work with me, because I'm building my port and new concepts intrigue me. I am only available on Fridays - other weekdays are reserved for work and weekends are reserved for my husband.
Photography is a passion - you either have the passion or you don't. I thrive on high contrast, bright colors and making someone pop out of a photo. It's important for you to relax and have fun - you won't find stuffy, posed, bland pictures with me. I take each shot as it comes. I used to plan the way shoots worked and found it was inhibiting. You can't get raw, natural talent out of a completely controlled photo.

Some important information you need to know if you want to shoot with me:
I DO accept TF* - but it needs to be an original idea that's going to benefit both of us. Even if it's completely off-the-wall, I'm usually up for it. Hit me up, we'll talk. This is very limited as of August 1st. While the shoot itself may be TF, I require travel reimbursement. Governement rate at the moment is $0.55/mile. If you come to me, at my request, I will reimburse you. If you come to me, at your request, I will not.
I DO allow models to bring MUAs, assistants, etc. I'd rather you be comfortable - but if I feel that I am in danger because of you or your escort, I will end the shoot immediately.
I DO NOT shoot nudes. Please don't ask, it's not my style, it's not my character.
I shoot OUTDOORS. I just flat out like how the natural light brings out your natural color. I will have an in-home studio soon, but of course, that has limitations.
I provide your best shots on a CD for you to print at your own leisure, use on the internet, etc. It may be 5 shots, it might be 200 - all depends on how much time we had and how well we work together. I don't limit how many photos I will edit and I don't limit how many you get back. If I think it's a good shot, I'll let you have it. All I ask is that you credit me.
I think that about sums it up. If you have any questions, I'm pretty easy to get a hold of.
