What kind of sessions do you provide?

I mainly photograph weddings, elopements, and portrait sessions that range from engagement sessions to family or senior portraits. I also do events, and love getting creative with branding, headshots, and the occasional product and food photography project.

What are your wedding packages?

It might be shocking to most, but I don’t have packages. I know, I know…. BUT I promise there is a very good reason for it. My couples tend to be unique, and I find that traditional packages don’t always fit the needs of every couple. Instead, I prefer to get to know you and hear the vision for your day. This is great for a few reasons!

The first is that we get to know each other, make sure that we’re an excellent match, and go over every question you may have about your photography and how we will work together for your wedding planning process. I get to hear about what’s important for you to document and what you would like to see in your wedding gallery. Lastly, it ensures that we are basing your photography coverage on your particular needs and wishes for your wedding day, making it the perfect custom package for YOU.

How many hours of coverage do we need?

Many couples believe that they need the standard 8-10 hours because it’s what they see in traditional packages or what friends have needed in the past. However, that’s not necessarily true. During our initial call, I like to go over a mock timeline to help you gauge what would work best for your day.

What is the overall investment?

Generally, my couples invest anywhere between $4,000-$7,000 on the wedding packages they create.

Are you inclusive/LGBTQIA+ friendly?

As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I understand firsthand the importance of feeling accepted and celebrated for who we are as individuals. It’s always been my mission to provide an environment where everyone feels comfortable, respected, seen, and valued throughout their photographic experience. I wholeheartedly believe in the power of love and the beauty that comes from embracing our diverse world, and I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space for all.

ALL love is welcome and safe in my space.

Do you travel for weddings and sessions?

While I mostly work locally in Pittsburgh, I love a good adventure and will travel anywhere your story takes me.

What should we expect at our portrait session?

I’ll be the first person to admit that I don’t love having my portrait taken, so I understand the importance of creating a comfort level tailor-made to suit the needs of my clients. Let’s face it: Being the center of attention can be an intimidating and vulnerable experience. I always ask about comfort levels before your session and plan around them. I like to bring a playful aspect to any portrait session, so whether it’s music, games, or bad jokes, I find that we laugh through the entire session. You should always be having fun!

What should we expect to receive as an end product?

Your photography is as important to me as it is to you, so your images will be fully edited down to the smallest details. A final gallery will always include a full set of color and B&W images. Images will always be high-resolution, with printing rights, allowing you to print in whatever size you would like whenever you would like. Other add-ons include an engagement session, second photographers, albums, USB’s, prints, and more.

When is the best time to book?

As soon as possible! While I do work on a first-come, first-served basis, the busiest times of the year can be unpredictable and fill up fast. I do my best to accommodate every potential couple that I speak to, but I cannot guarantee a date will be available for long.
