I do things a little differently.
You might’ve noticed how with my prices, I don’t have many limits on things. When you book with me, you’re booking my time, and I feel like you should get to use it how you want. If you want eight outfits in thirty minutes, you go for it! If you want to take photos in the woodsy Botanical Gardens then drive up to catch the Tennessee Theatre sign after the lights come on, we can do it! You get photos from all the poses, locations, and outfits of the shoot, no cap.
Travel beyond fifty miles will have an additional charge per mile to account for mileage and drive time.

Corporate & Events
Corporate & event pricing begins at $150 per shooting hour. I do not charge for editing time, and photos are generally expected back within two weeks of shooting date. Please reach out to me to further discuss how I can meet your marketing needs!
Welcome to my investment page! Here I have all of my pricing for packages that I offer, but if you are wanting something you don’t see listed or have any ideas for sessions you don’t know where they would fit, just slide in my DMs and I would LOVE to put together a custom package for you!
FAQs
-
In order to book with me, you’ll first need to contact me and discuss dates and the type of shoot you want. I require a 20% non-refundable, (but transferable!) retainer for your shoot, and that amount paid goes toward your shoot. This is just to reserve my time, and should you need to reschedule you won’t have to pay another. I will also send you a contract that you can sign virtually or drop off in-person, and this includes your print release!
-
Message me! I love to work with people so that they can get what they’re dreaming of. If you need something a bit cheaper, if you’re looking for a special themed shoot (y’all, I swoon.), anything you don’t see I probably can work out with you!
-
If you don’t have a location preference prior to booking, I typically like to start the search with my location guide! This includes my client-favorite locations across Knoxville, as well as photos from each and some information to consider with each location. Should none of these quite fit your expectations, I’m happy to provide other options or research to find the perfect spot for you!
-
I have an outfit guide available for all clients that goes over some tips and tricks for finding the right outfit that will make you comfortable and confident! If you have any specific questions, please feel free to message me and I can offer suggestions.
-
Yes! I typically have different recommendations for outfit changes based on the length of the session and number of people involved. Just message me for my recommendations!
-
Absolutely! I completely understand wanting to see a full example of what you will have at the end of your session. I provide full galleries upon request, so just send me a message and I can send you a link.
-
With weddings and elopements, I send a sneak peek within 72 hours of the shoot. With other sessions, my turnaround is generally much faster and I don’t send sneak peeks.
-
You will! This is included in the contract I will send you upon booking. A contract can be a little daunting, but it just helps protect both of us in case a worst-case-scenario happens! This also will include your right to post any/all photos on social media.
-
Yes! I love to explore and go on adventures, and traveling with photography is a dream of mine! Rates for travel are covered in my contract, and on a case-by-case basis, so message me with any questions you have!
-
Yes! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes. A thousand times yes! I love working with furry (and non-furry!) friends. I have two dogs named Bindie & Barry myself, and love to take pictures of them. Bringing your furry friend is always welcomed and encouraged! I just ask that you let me know beforehand, because I’ll plan our poses accordingly.
-
My formal answer is that you should expect a digital gallery of photos within two weeks of your shoot, however normally you get them back sooner than that! This is really a buffer for busier times in my schedule, and most of my clients get photos back within a week.
-
My turnaround is technically two weeks, though typically I get galleries delivered within a week. If you need photos earlier, mention it to me and we can work something out based on our schedules. This might occur a rush processing fee though, so please let me know prior to your session so I can be ready!
-
I use an online gallery service, which means you will receive an email with a link to your digital gallery. These digital galleries are live online for up to 7 years, and the links can be shared as many times as you wish! Additionally, the galleries themselves are private, so you have to have the specific link to access. You will also receive a link to download instructions should you need them, and I’m always available to help if you have any questions! Privacy and ease of access are my top priorities!
-
Yes! Your print release and right to post online comes in your contract that you sign to shoot with me. I just ask that you tag me to help support my small growing business!
-
Yes! I love props. Whether it’s a guitar or a pile of books or an instrument or sports equipment or playbills or anything special to you, bring it! I just ask that you let me know of props you’re thinking of, so I can plan some poses to work with them! (PS - you should ask about my senior session I did with a whole drum set next to train tracks with a train passing. Easily the craziest and most fun prop work to date!)
Wedding Day Tips
Gather all detail items beforehand!
Details shots are a beautiful way to capture the small parts of the day that help make it special. To reduce stress the day of, we suggest that you gather all special detail items beforehand so they’re ready to shoot when I arrive! Detail items may include rings, shoes, jewelry, invitations/save the dates/programs, flowers, hair pieces/veils, cuff links, cultural items, etc.
Consider what kind of hanger you want to use for your dress.
I always want to take the wedding gown off for some pretty hanging photos around the space before the bride gets dressed, so be sure to think about your hanger! Some people like to go all out with wire carved names and dates and such, but a nice sturdy wooden hanger is also just perfect! You just want to avoid plastic and wire hangers for pictures.
Consider a second photographer!
Sometimes a second photographer can really help add to a ceremony’s shots. They help get more than one perspective on the day, and can as much as double the amount of photos you receive! All shots featured on my website are done by myself, and all photos you receive will be edited by me to have a cohesive, similar look should you choose to add a second photographer.
Do you want a first look?
A first look is a great way to save time. You can have a beautiful capturing of each other’s first looks, but also have plenty of time to get all of the portraits done before the wedding, so you can get straight to the party after! If you want a first look during the ceremony however, it is perfectly beautiful as well! It’s an option I give all my couples.
Keep an eye on the sun when planning times!
If you want dreamy golden hour outdoors shots, make sure that you aren’t in the ceremony at that time, or still getting ready! Taking pictures in the dark is no fun, and can decrease the quality of your photos. If you have questions about the timing of your wedding, please feel free to ask me and I can give you a rough light schedule for the time of year!
