What's the point of lifeless photos?
My goal is to make you cry when you open your gallery. To transport you back in time and relive it all over and over again.
Everything I do- from the way we interact during photoshoots, to spending literally hours just to best curate your gallery- is to tell a your story.
You tell me your story, and I'll repeat it back in photos.

Let's make some art :)
The foundation of my photography is human connection before anything else- well... except light.
This is a collaborative experience, where you have as much say as you want and I'll support you no matter what and make suggestions where you need or want them.
I'm hear to listen and create with you.

Rules are meant to be broken.
To be clear: I only experiment as much as you want me to.
But in Deviation Nation over here, we can get as weird or normal as you want.
Experimenting is how you get those gasp-inducing, scroll-stopping images that make you look and feel like a piece of art.
That's why I shoot in a lot of harsh, weird light or put things in front of a lens. We can experiment with light, poses, cropping, composition, or just whatever is around us.
Let's get weird, my dudes.

Life isn't perfect.
You know what never seems to go out of style? Emotion.
What kills emotion? Akwardness.
What makes you feel awkward? Nitpicking.
I will direct you and I will not let you look weird (unless you want that- heck yeah), but I do not do a lot of strict posing.
Prompts allow you to interact with each other or the world around you instead of interacting with the camera.
Documenting you as you are, savoring every second of time, and having a dang good time is the goal.

You’re not generic, and your photos shouldn’t be either.
Not only do I send out a survey in order to understand you deeply, I legitimately use that survey to personalize your photoshoot.
If you love forehead kisses or being barefoot- we're gonna document it.
You deserve photos that are not only beautiful, but also meaningful.

“For both the engagement and wedding shoots. I really, really love looking back and seeing all the feelings and personality of both us and the wedding parties- it encapsulates us so well.”

The Next Steps
This depends on how long you book me for! But it's all laid out on my pricing guide and I add more if you add on film.
My packages are all inclusive, so you get unlimited rights to all of the images. I don't upsell you to try to coerce you to spend hundreds more on thirty photos. I don't watermark them. I don't limit downloads. They're all yours.
You'll get a sneak peek within 48 hours! Sessions will be back in 4-5 weeks and weddings within 6-8 weeks.
How many photos do I get?
How long does it take to get photos back?
Not actually a question, but my most common concern! This is why you hire a professional instead of your coworker. There's a lot that goes into this, but I got your back and if it's awkward I'll delete it and nobody will ever know :)
75% of the people I photograph also think this, and their photos turn out amazing. I promise, I got you.
But I'm so awkward in Photos :(
Infinite. I literally don't care. Live your dream- I'm here for it :)
How many outfits can I wear?
How do I get my photos?
Yes to both! I have packages specifically for destination weddings and elopements that you can find under my pricing guide. For drivable photoshoots I charge $0.55 per mile anything beyond an hour away from Franklin, TN.
If it's a quick pimple- yes.
If it's anything else- no.
Contrary to popular belief, almost no photographers do photoshop (it is extremely difficult and time-consuming). I could easily spend a couple hours trying to shrink your arms or remove a single bra strap.
Instead of getting your photos back in 6-8 weeks, it would take 10x longer because it takes 10x longer to photoshop than to edit.
This would also make photos 10x more expensive.
So, no, generally I do not photoshop. However, if you would like to pay someone else to photoshop separately I do understand and won't consider it a breach of contract.
But my prices reflect the time it takes to edit and not the time it takes to photoshop.
Do you travel or have travel fees?
Do you photoshop?
I'll send you a link by email- it'll take you to your personal gallery, where you can download and share your images as well as purchase prints and albums and other goodies if you choose.

"You have a real gift for drawing out the uniqueness of the people you photograph"
"and that there is an awesome balance of flexibility with trying new things, and of trustworthy beautiful results. Shoots with you feel like no pressure, fun, and silly. I didn't feel awkward in from of the camera because all the directions you gave us felt natural to the energy we already had"
