an exploration with photography began while diving into my psyche (as it persists for many others). how could I bring my innermost thoughts before my loved one’s eyes? how could I proposition an empty storefront as something special? it was always that way to me — but the prospect of reframing things felt exciting then as it does now.
I hope to know no bounds in my artistic practice with as many mediums as possible. my focus has been in music for the past two years, specializing in album artwork and music videos.
the mountains of north carolina informed my safety in solitude — highlighting an earlier time when my focus was on personal essays and miniature self-portrait series.
FAQs
are you open to trades?
trades make everyone’s lives so much better! I am always open to trades and have yet to be uninterested in an offer. with certain things like tattoos or clothing, I may just want to check that the style is appropriate for me.
will you work with smaller budgets?
respect is the name of the game! if you have certain budget needs, I will be 100% clear if a project is manageable for me or not. I do have my limits, but I am generally pretty open and happy to be communicative on these matters.
can I utilize a payment plan for your services?
once again, yes! within reason, I am more than happy to coordinate a payment schedule that can be appropriate for both of us based on the project.
what is your turnaround time?
in a perfect world I am working at a two-week turnaround time for photo sessions. in a more realistic world it can be closer to three weeks unless you specify other needs. video turnaround is dependent on the project.
what is your cancellation policy?
if you need to cancel a shoot for any reason, your deposit will act as a credit towards your next booking.
can I reschedule my shoot?
once a deposit is made, we’re locked in. things happen! rescheduling is totally okay, though there will be a $48 fee if you need to get something on the calendar within two weeks of our initial shoot date.
