FAQs

I’m based in Reno, Nevada and open to travel worldwide. My primary markets include:

• Northern Nevada
  • Reno / Sparks / Carson City
  • Lake Tahoe
• Northern California
  • Sacramento / Roseville
  • Napa / Sonoma Wine Country
  • San Francisco Bay Area

Instead of static packages that offer too little or too much, my pricing is customized for each project. Once you contact me, I’ll reach out to schedule a 10-minute phone call to gather more details and provide an initial estimate over the phone. I’ve designed a pricing calculator to ensure my pricing is consistent and accurate.

Yes. Following payment of the 30% retainer fee, the remaining 70% balance may be split into two, four, or six monthly payments. The total balance must be paid in full before your final gallery will be delivered.

I tend to favor the tension between "documentary" and "editorial" — capturing the subject authentically and unobtrusively (but on a deeper, more thoughtful level than pure photojournalism), while also directing the subject to tell a compelling visual story.

For most sessions and weddings, you can typically expect around 60 images per hour of shooting. For example, a one-hour engagement session will typically yield around 60 final images, and an eight-hour wedding will typically yield around 480 final images.

Turnaround times can vary based on current workload, peak season, post-production complexity, and other factors. Typical turnaround times are below:

Weddings & elopements‍

4–12 weeks

Portraits (engagement, couple, family, maternity, etc.)

2–6 weeks

Events (bachelorette party, baby shower)
2–4 weeks

When your final gallery is ready, you’ll receive an email with a link to your gallery and instructions for how to view, share, and download your images. Your final gallery will remain online for a minimum of five years from the delivery date.

Yes. Prints, albums, and other products may be ordered directly through your gallery, which are fulfilled by the highest-quality professional print labs (exclusively available to professional photographers) and shipped directly to you.

I offer a short highlight film as an add-on to most projects.
