frequently asked questions
This is a tricky question and there is no "right" answer. I have had a camera since I was 14, went to college for black and white film photography from 18-21, and have been in business since 2018. Within this time I have assisted and second shot with some AMAZING photographers, photographed beautiful weddings, elopements, families, seniors, and models. Overall, you could say I have been photographing for 13 years total, and 4 years professionally! I am constantly learning and growing my craft. I can't wait to see what the future holds!
Absolutely! As long as you have a military ID or a Visitor's Pass, we are able to take photos in areas with public access on base.
Um YES. This is one of the unique things that make you graduating from USMA so huge, not everyone has an incredible, heirloom uniform that they will have for the rest of their lives. We ABSOLUTELY need to document your uniform, along with your saber, ring, and any other details you would like to include.
ABSOLUTELY. We have all wondered what to do with our hands. I use a combination of prompts, posing, and "directed candidness" to be able to get those natural images that show you at your best. Don't worry, I got you.
