Why photography?

Photography chose me when I started college. Walking through the Photo department, I just felt at home and really thought “Oh hey… I can do this.” It wasn’t until after graduation I found myself gravitating more towards portraits and weddings. I love storytelling and photography allows me to do that (minus the grammar checks). The people I have met and memories I have both captured and made are priceless. I love everything about it.

What equipment do you use?

I am a Canon user and always have been. For a better look at my equipment, check out my blog post here.

Do you travel?

I would LOVE to travel more for photography. I currently serve the Dayton, Cincinnati, and Columbus areas. A dream would be to shoot out west.

Do you edit your pictures?

Yes, I edit every single picture that I post and deliver. I edit for overall brightness/contrast, color balance, etc. Editing allows me to keep a certain consistency in my images that I am very proud of.

Retouching is a slightly different animal and I do NOT retouch all of my images. Retouching refers to removing wrinkles from clothing, blemishes, stray hairs, etc. I do offer retouching but it can be time consuming and comes with an extra cost.

Do you HAVE to share my images online?

While I love sharing the images I shoot and bragging about my amazing families and friends, I also respect your privacy and will not share or post sessions if you ask me not to. Just let me know during your session! My online galleries can be password protected as well, so you control who has access to your photos.
