“What all do I do? What are my packages and prices?”

Well, long story short, I’m a documentary-style photographer, and a functional designer. 

Like most other photographers, I want to tell a story with my work. An important part of that to me is staying true to what’s really there, and not interfering with the flow of what’s already happening. For general portrait sessions, that looks like giving my client a prompt and letting them roll with it while I tag along. For a bigger event like a wedding, I consult with my clients and put together an itinerary in advance so the day of I know where to be while their day unfolds without having to bother them with questions. Post-session or event, I cull through all the photos, edit blemishes, and adjust the color tone so it looks more put together, but you won’t find me doing any major altering or ‘shopping. Why? 

In the words of Sean O’Connell in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, “Beautiful things don’t ask for attention.” The magic is in the moment. 

I’ve learned by now that it’s really that simple! I do my best during the session to be your personal hype man so you’re relaxed and confident, you feel better, and therefore “look” better, (that’s why you reach out to a professional photographer in the first place, right?) but the real trick to being a “good” photographer is knowing when to let things be and appreciate them as they are. That, and I keep learning how to best use my camera and equipment so that I can take a great photo in that moment and it doesn’t need much editing in post unless the lighting or other circumstances out of my control just weren’t that great. 

I’m a firm believer in going the extra mile if you want the best view. I apply the same thoughts when I’m designing as well. I’m not unique as a designer that likes to have the function determine the overall form in a “really-really-good-looking way,” but I do find the unique qualities that will make a project shine in the context you place it, and give it the attention to detail it deserves. 

Soooooo, now that you know more about my process, here’s what’s new around here: I have adjusted my usual photography packages to reflect the balance of my value to client budgets, and…

I’m adding new event coverage and branding package options!
