For portraits, couples, and family sessions I don't shoot by time! It's really just how long it takes:) For brands and weddings I do shoot by time.

I am happy to provide outfit direction! In fact, I'd prefer it:) Based on my experience, I've figured out what looks good and what doesn't. Ultimately, it's your decision though!

Couples-come prepared to move! When I do paid couples shoots, I typically include some traditional photos, so don't worry about missing those. For the most part, I will be directing you as if you are in a movie or a music video.

Portraits: Also come prepared to move around! I love the authentic look of motion shots and they are a great way to add variety to a gallery-whats the point in paying for a bunch of photos if they all look the same?

For ALL SHOOTS: I take control of directing and posing, so don't feel like you need to come up with all the ideas. Of course, I welcome your inspiration-please send me your Pinterest boards! But feel free to relax and just enjoy being in front of the camera.
