    • Wedding proofs will be available 10 to 12 weeks after the big day at the longest, often sooner depending on high or low season.

    • Sports team photos are typically ready within 1 week.

    • Corporate head shots can be delivered within 4 days.

    • Stylized portraits and other photography have varying timelines. For example, I will make sure holiday photos and senior portraits arrive on time for your needs.

    Rush orders are usually available, including day-of digital delivery (premium), for all but weddings. Let me know if you have a specific deadline so that I can include delivery time in your quote.

  • Message me using your preferred method:

    We can discuss, go over questions you have, and—when you’re ready—schedule your session. Some projects (such as weddings) will include a contract for both of us to sign.

    Base estimates…

    • Corporate head shot sessions: 5 to 10 minutes per employee

    • Stylized athlete portrait: 45 to 90 minutes

    • Family and children portraits: 30 to 45 minutes

    • Engagement session: 60 to 90 minutes

  • For most shoots, all you need are your outfit(s) and your personality. If we plan to go long, bringing a reusable water bottle is a good idea.

    We will hold a creative consultation before your session to discuss themes, outfits, props, and locations and to answer any remaining questions you have.

    On adventurous shoots, we will review safety and be sure everyone has the necessary equipment and backups.

    New since 2020: My photo shoots follow local and national guidelines for COVID-19 safety. That includes masks when appropriate and respect for the health of other people who will be nearby.

  • While I have none on staff, I can make trusted recommendations for sessions in the Phoenix Arizona and Burlington Vermont areas, but I don't yet have a network in central Florida.

    Wherever you are, I am happy to coordinate with your on-set artists and provide time for changes and touch-ups.

    No entourage? I’ll consult with you on your outfits, which also helps me match the environment and lighting to your style.

  • Hello :D

    I welcome new collaborations with artists in the Tampa, Orlando, and Space Coast areas! Reach out to me with your website or online portfolio and any bio, credits, or introduction you want to include and we can talk.

  • Sometimes! Especially if you have a creative makeup concept that I also want to try out, an action-adventure theme, or an idea to highlight or improve how BIPOC are represented in images. Run it by me if you’re interested in collaborating.

  • Absolutely. Travel rates are included in your quote. I’ve worked all around the United States and lived abroad.

    Currently, there’s little or no travel charge for areas along the I-4 corridor of the sunshine state: the Tampa/St. Pete area to Orlando to the Space Coast.

  • Happy to answer. Contact me.

Videography FAQ

Pardon this temporarily blank section. Frequent changes are happening within event and commercial video safety, which is different from private portrait photography in a global pandemic. While I rewrite (again!), feel free to contact me with your questions.
