I have had a camera in my hand for over 2 decades but I would say I’ve officially been a photographer since 2019.

It is recommended for a family session to book 3 months in advance. If you’re wanting to book a wedding, you will want to book at least 6 months in advance

Northern Utah is home for me! I have no travel fees for local sessions but do charge travel fees for destinations outside of my area.
My wedding packages are all-inclusive and include travel costs so there are no surprises for you down the road.
If  I am already at a location you will not need to pay for travel.

Family photos have a turnaround time of about 14 days. I like to provide a sneak peak so that is within 1 week of your session date. During my busy season (fall to Christmas) turnaround time is around 30 days.

Wedding photo and video are both a 2 month turnaround time.

I typically deliver family and senior sessions around 14 days.
Wedding photos and videos are around 2 months.
I try and get your phtoso back to you as soon as possible while still giving each gallery the time and attention it deserves!

you do not! All sessions include a print release. I do offer printing services however I have several companies I recommend for your print needs.

Regardless of what kind of session you book you’ll receive all of your edited photos through an online gallery. From there you’ll be able to download, share and print your photos.

I’m happy to help you plan outfits, locations, props…all of it! If you have a vision or an idea for your session let me know and I’ll help you bring it to life.

When you book, you’ll pay a nonrefundable retainer that will not be returned if you decide to cancel your wedding or session. If we need to reschedule a session due to illness, weather, etc, we find the next date/time that works for both of us! I do try to leave a few time slots open each month for reschedules so I can fit you in as quickly as possible.

If you reschedule your wedding and I’m not available on the new date, your retainer will not be refunded.

No, I do not deliver RAW unedited photos to clients as I consider them to be unfinished and an inaccurate representation of my work. If you do not already love my editing style from what you see on my website & social media, I can almost guarantee you will not be happy with your photos and another photographer might be a better fit for you.

I apply the same amount of editing to all galleries upon initial delivery. If you wish, I’m happy to do additional editing to remove temporary things (blemishes, scars, scrapes, etc), but I will never Photoshop or alter who you are or how you look. If you feel self conscious about something, please let me know beforehand so I can be mindful of it when posing you!

Portrait session (family, couples, engagement) investment begins at $350.

Senior session investment begins at $350.

Local wedding investment begins at $800.

U.S. based destination wedding / elopement investment begins at $1600.

One

Contact

We select a date that works for both parties. After the date is selected, a proposal that contains the agreed upon items such as picture editing time, invoice and date of your session.

Two

contract + booking fee

Your booking fee is a portion of your photoshoot. It is not an additional amount and is to reserve your chosen session date. Once your date is reserved I send out a questionnaire!

Three

questionnaire

You receive a questionnaire from me! It is a short get to know you questions but also asks things like, how far are you wanting to drive, what are you picturing on your wall and fun questions regarding your family. This has proven to be key for me to capture our vision.

Four

photoshoot!

We take your pictures! I encourage you to create the photoshoot about capturing memories rather than capturing a perfect smile. Be in a space of play and connection with your family…even leading up to getting in the car to drive to the location.

Five

Sneak Peaks

I like to get a sneak peak photo sent out soon after your shoot is done. While the rest of your images take time to perfect these are pictures that are done quickly so you can see the magic you helped create.

Are you ready? Let's do it.
