Good questions

Where do we shoot?

Somewhere that feels like you. A campus, a park, the desert at golden hour, or your own living room. I'm based in the Phoenix area and available everywhere worth photographing.

What should we wear?

We'll talk about it on our phone call and plan it into your mood board, so everyone's outfits work together.

Can the dog come?

Yes, please. Some of my favorite family photos have a dog or two in them.

Do you photograph seniors and graduates?

Yes. Cap and gown, stoles and cords, the instrument you played for four years. Bring whatever tells your story.

Let’s plan your session.

Tell me who's in the photos and what you're celebrating. I'll call you to plan the rest.
