FAQ
Where are you located?
I am based in South Atlanta, bordering East Point. Photography often brings me traveling to locations outside of Metro Atlanta, such as Echo Park Speedway for track days or dog parks for pet portraits. A travel fee may be added depending on the mileage.
what should i expect during a session?
Cars: This varies on the type of shoot. Stills will be simple as I will guide you into the space and occasionally ask you to make slight adjustments, such as adjusting the wheel angle or turning on the headlights. For rollers, there will be instructions and adjustments on the go. All hand signals will be discussed beforehand to limit confusion and keep everyone as safe and controlled as possible. For track days, pretend I don't exist! I will capture the raw moments of prep work on the car and, of course, the action on the track!
Pets: After meeting you and your pet, I will capture a range of posed and natural shots. This varies depending on the pet's temperament and comfort level with new people. I will use treats and toys as props to keep your fur baby engaged and enjoying the experience! I will play off your pet's lead to capture their most natural state.
Sports: I will arrive early to the game to catch some warm-up photos and stay behind to hopefully capture some celebration shots! Throughout the game, I will occasionally move to capture a variety of angles and lighting options for you.
Portraits: After meeting at the agreed location, I will start by asking any preferences for a "good side," if you prefer vertical or horizontal oriented photos, etc. I will guide you from pose to pose, so all you have to focus on is being you! I always encourage bringing a moral support friend or having a playlist ready for us to play on a speaker to keep energy and comfort up.
What makes you different?
As an Army veteran, I now prioritize peace and being genuine. I want you to feel as at ease as possible throughout the session, so we capture the genuine moments that make you and your passions what they are! I will explain and guide everything, and I will offer ample opportunities for questions to make sure we are all on the same page. I strive to make each session a fun and positive experience that is unique to your desires!
what should i bring to the photography session?
Cars: I recommend bringing simple touch-up supplies in case the car gets a bit dirty on the drive to the shoot. Fun accessories are welcome, such as a Hot Wheels of your car, any themed items, or flags.
Pets: Any accessories, like a bandana or a bow, can be so cute! Feel free to bring plenty of treats so we can keep them engaged and make this a fun and positive experience!
Sports: Bring your energy! That's all you'll need besides all of your usual sports gear.
Portraits: Consider bringing props that feel natural to you. Perhaps something from a hobby you enjoy, such as a musical instrument or a book. Flowers are an easy way to add more dimension to your photos. Even something as simple as sunglasses can change the whole aesthetic and give you a larger range.
What should I wear for portaits?
If I am taking your portraits, my priority is for you to feel confident and comfortable! Choose clothes that encompass your essence, that you will look back on and love.
General photography advice is to wear solid neutrals and avoid big logos or designs to keep the focus on you, not your clothes. Howeverrrrr, if that is not your vibe, I am all for encouraging fun and bold clothes!
What is your cancellation policy?
I understand life gets crazy! Please let me know as soon as you find out a session date and time will no longer work for you. A 24-hour notice is my preference, but working with cars and pets, especially, I've learned you don't get a warning before your car breaks down or your pet gets into some trash and becomes sick!
Can I purchase physical products of the digital gallery?
Yes! When I send the digital gallery, there is the option to buy physical prints through the same website. Products range from regular prints to framed pieces, to albums!
What if the weather is bad on the day of the shoot?
This is Georgia, so there are bound to be plenty of rainy days! If we have an outdoor shoot scheduled, we can either reschedule or continue the shoot if there is an indoor alternative that is approved by you.
How long is your turnaround time for the digital art comissions?
Current drawing times are 24-48 hours. When completed, I will send you a final draft for you to either approve or let me know if there are any changes you would like me to make!
