You can book a shoot by heading over to the session booking page, or by clicking the Book a Session button on the home page. Fill out and submit the form and we'll be in touch with you.

How much i charge per session depends on the photoshoot type you're interested in. Head over to the pricing page for more information on my rates.

I understand that hiring a photographer can be very expensive, so in order to reduce the burden, i do offer payment plans on most of my wedding and engagement packages at no extra cost. The terms of the payment plans will be agreed upon and stated in the contract.

How long it will take for the photos to be delivered to you depends on the type of photoshoot. The standard wait time is between one and two weeks for family portraits, maternity shoots, graduation shoots, and birthday shoots. The turnaround  time for my wedding gallery is between two to three weeks. However, the images could be available sooner.

Processing the images after a shoot usually requires a lot of time to select the perfectly composed shots for processing. Retouching photos also takes a lot of time, so I ask that you be patient while I create your memories in a way that they will be cherished forever. In some cases, i usually deliver the photos sooner than expected.

I will deliver the photos to you in a password protected online gallery where they can be viewed and downloaded as need be.

I offer a wide range of photography services including shooting weddings, events (birthday parties, graduation parties, private events, galas, etc), family portraits, studio sessions, image retouching, color grading, printing, maternity shoots, newborn sessions, engagements, pre-wedding, and framing.

You will have access to your photos in the password protected online gallery for a period of 3 months after which the access will automatically expire. I recommend that you download your photos during this period before it expires. I'll send out an email notification a week before it expires.

I always look at the weather forecast prior to scheduling a date and time for your shoot. If mother nature decides to switch the weather around and it rains, no worries, we can always reschedule the shoot at no extra cost.

I do offer professional printing services and if you so decide to print some of the services from the shoot, you can order the prints directly from me. My canvas, metal, album and photobook prints are ordered from a professional lab that i'm personally obsessed with. I will send you a separate proofing gallery where you can select the images you need printed and notify my via email from the gallery. I will print the photos using premium quality printing paper in the sizes you choose. If you want to print them on your own, i deliver the photos with a print release form sent via email, and i recommend printing them at Costco, but be sure to ask them to turn off auto color correction.

I mostly service the Charlotte, NC area, but I also travel to surrounding cities. For events out of state, I do travel at the expense of the client.

No, I do not. I go through a meticulous selection process to ensure that only the best images are included in the final product. This involves removing duplicate images, test shots, shots that are out of focus, and images with unflattering expressions. For instance, when we use low apertures during the shoot, we may take additional shots to guarantee optimal focus. We understand that it would be impractical for you to manually scrutinize each image to find the sharpest one, so we dedicate hours to this task on our end. Similarly, candid moments like laughter and tears often capture genuine emotions, but they can also result in less-than-flattering facial expressions. In such cases, we may capture extra shots to ensure we have the perfect image with the most favorable expression for that particular moment. Leveraging our extensive experience in processing millions of images annually, we may eliminate duplicates and only deliver the absolute best photographs.

I don’t for a few reasons, not only are they GIANT files that require special programs to open, but it’s an unfinished product! Photographers put hours and hours into learning to process their work in their own style. If we gave out RAW files and someone else edits them, it wouldn’t be our work anymore.
