wedding experience questions
I am located in Elizabethton, TN. I serve East Tennessee, Western North Carolina, and Virginia…but I’m always ready to travel!
I am more than willing to travel for engagement sessions and weddings! I actually love it when my couples ask me to photograph them in a location that is special to them. I book engagement sessions at least two months in advance and 60 miles of travel are included. If you would like me to photograph a destination wedding (or one outside of 60 miles), we can work out the details when you contact me.
I love getting to know my clients through an engagement session. This session allows you to warm up to the camera so you are ready to rock and roll on your wedding day! By the time the big day arrives, my clients feel comfortable with me (in fact we are more like friends) and that creates a safe and relaxed environment for photography. If you absolutely do not need an engagement session, we can sub out a bridal portrait session in its place.
Absolutely, positively, YES! I may or may not have been called the dog whisperer by some of my clients whose fur babies I’ve photographed with them. My pets are my family and I understand wanting to include them. Just make sure to bring someone along to hand your pet off to once we finish those images.
You will receive between 800-1,000 edited images in your wedding gallery!! (I average 75-100 images per hour that I’m shooting.) I love delivering my client’s files quickly and easily via an online gallery. You will have the ability to print, share and download your images as much as you want. I believe in freely sharing my work because that is what I would want if we were in your shoes!
The turn around time for your 800-1,000 edited images and online wedding gallery is 6 weeks.
senior session questions
Yes, I usually recommend one casual outfit, and one that is a little more dressy! However, most guys like to keep it simple with one outfit…and that’s A-Okay as well!!
I offer two different packages for my seniors. One is for one session and the other is for two sessions – one session in the fall and another in the spring.

You will receive at least 25-30 images per session in your senior gallery!! I love delivering my client’s files quickly and easily via an online gallery.

family session questions
Once you book your session, you and I will talk about the best place to capture the images you have imagined and dreamed of!
Once you book, I will send you an information flyer with color/coordinating suggestions. However, you should always be comfortable in your clothing and be yourself for the most incredible family images!
You will receive a minimum of 25 high resolution, edited images in your gallery! It is always so hard for me to choose and I usually go way overboard!

All clients receive a print release in their completed gallery. You may print your images where it is most convenient for you. However, you also may print directly from your gallery at a discounted rate. Your images will be printed on high quality, fade free guaranteed papers and shipped from my pro level lab. You can also order other art pieces from your gallery such as canvases, cards, metal prints.

newborn + maternity session questions
I provide all wraps, props, and snuggles! You will just need to bring extra diapers, wipes, a paci if using one, and extra milk or prepare to maybe do an extra nursing.
Most newborn sessions take around 2 hours give or take. We are on your baby’s schedule and may need to stop and feed, change a diaper, or settle to sleep.
Yes, I offer to do a few family shots and shots with siblings. This is a big moment for your growing family and all should be included!
I do newborn sessions in my home in Elizabethton, TN. I have all the props & lights ready to go when you arrive! If I need to bring in something extra, it is right there at my fingertips!
Turn around time for newborn galleries is 4 weeks. However, I try to get them back to you way sooner than that! I know you want to share the precious images of your fresh new baby! I will send you a preview/sneak peek to hold you over until the final gallery is complete.
You will receive a minimum of 25 High Resolution Hand edited images in your gallery! It is always so hard for me to choose and I usually go way overboard!
