Where are you located?

I am originally from Portland, OR, and consider Oregon my home; however, I am currently enrolled in grad school, so my schedule is a little tricky. During the academic year (mid-August through mid-May), I live in Chicago. During the summer months, I live in Portland (Mid May-Mid August).

Are your rates flexible?

Photography is a financial commitment for many, and I am dedicated to helping you maintain a budget that aligns with your comfort level. I am experienced in crafting flexible payment plans and working with various budgets. To begin, please share your desired price range, and we can tailor our approach to best meet your needs.

Do you travel?

Absolutely, I'm open to traveling! I offer complimentary travel within a one-hour radius of downtown Portland, OR or from the Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago, IL. For destinations beyond this range, we will discuss gas and potential overnight accommodations, but rest assured, we can address these details on a personalized basis to ensure a smooth arrangement.

Do you do weddings?

While I have extensive experience in various photography genres, I haven't ventured into the realm of wedding photography, which requires a unique skill set and expertise. Therefore, I don't typically offer wedding photography services. However, if you're determined to have me capture your special day, we can explore potential options and tailor a solution that suits your specific needs.

How long will it take for me to get my photos?

The turnaround time for your photos can vary depending on the scope and duration of the shoot, generally ranging from 2 to 8 weeks. For a more precise estimate, I'll need to consider the specifics of your shoot and my academic schedule, which will help me provide you with a more accurate timeframe.

Do you do Photoshop?

While I don't offer extensive Photoshop manipulations, I'm more than willing to perform basic enhancements such as blemish removal, red mark correction, or smoothing out minor imperfections at no extra cost. However, I do have limitations and won't be able to create unrealistic alterations like making you appear thinner or adding extravagant elements like a leaping tiger in the background.
