Fashion, beauty, portrait, and product work make up most of what I do, alongside model development photography for people building out their agency portfolios, event coverage, and the occasional sports or active lifestyle shoot. If your idea doesn't obviously fit into one of those boxes, ask me anyway — some of my favorite shoots didn't start out fitting neatly into a category either.

Most people book 1–3 weeks out, but I can sometimes work with less notice — just ask.

Absolutely — a lot of shoots turn out better after five minutes of talking through the idea first.

I keep a flexible schedule rather than fixed shoot days — weekday or weekend both work, depending on what's open.

As many as you need to pull off the shoot — just give me a heads-up so I can plan for the extra bodies in the space.

Yes, there's a simple release we sign before any paid session — nothing complicated, just something on paper for both of us.

We reschedule at no extra cost. I'd rather move the date than shoot you in bad light or a downpour.

I'll reach out as early as possible to reschedule, no questions asked, and your deposit carries over to the new date.

Head to the Contact page and tell me what you're picturing — even a rough idea is plenty to start with. From there we'll talk through timing, location, and what it'll take to make it happen.

Honestly? It depends — and I know that's the answer nobody wants to hear. It really comes down to what you're picturing: a headshot or portrait session is priced differently than a lookbook update, a brand campaign, or event coverage, since each one takes different time, gear, and retouching to pull off right.

Rather than try to average all of that into one number here, I keep detailed pricing on each service's own page, so you can see exactly what's included: Portrait & Headshots, Model Development, Lookbook Updates, Designer & Brand Collaborations, Product Photography, and Event Coverage.

If you're still not sure which one fits what you're picturing, just ask and we'll sort it out together.

Card, Venmo, Zelle, or cash — whatever's easiest for you.

For the bigger packages, yes — we can split it into two or three payments instead of one lump sum.

If you're booking more than one session up front, ask me directly — there's usually some flexibility there.

I don't have a blanket student rate, but if budget's the only thing standing in the way, tell me what you're working with.

Studio rental and travel outside Aurora are the two most common add-ons — both are covered elsewhere on this page, nothing hidden beyond that.

Occasionally, for a concept I'm genuinely excited about — but it's the exception, not something I can offer regularly.

Half day is 4 hours, full day is 8 — that's the industry-standard split and what I use across every session type.

No — service work like this isn't taxed in Colorado.

Yes — I take 50% upfront to book, and that deposit is non-refundable. Rescheduling is never a problem though, even if it has to happen more than once. As long as your deposit is in, I really don't mind being strung along until the timing works.

Cancellations are a little different: I'll almost always refund you if you need to cancel outright, but the deposit itself stays non-refundable. Honestly, my preference is always to reschedule rather than cancel, so if something comes up, let's just find a new date instead.

Digitals are quick, unretouched reference shots agencies use to see you as you are; a comp card is a finished, retouched, multi-look piece built to submit or hand out.

Digitals, almost always — not because it's the low-commitment option, but because it's typically the first thing you actually need. They're not going to be anything special on their own, though; if you're looking for something beyond basic reference shots, that's when it's worth booking Lookbook or Portfolio instead.

Digitals get you in the door for a look, but what gets you signed is you — the photos just need to represent you honestly.

I can point you in a direction based on what I'm seeing in you, but the research and the decision are yours to make.

There's no hard expiration, but agencies want to see current you — if your look changes meaningfully, it's time for new ones.

Model Development is built around what agencies and bookers specifically look for; portraits are built around what looks good to you.

Realistically 3–5, depending on how fast wardrobe changes go — more than that and quality starts trading off against quantity.

Yes — that's actually one of my favorite kinds of shoot to do.

Yes — that's exactly what the Designer/Brand full-day rate is built for.

Headcount itself doesn't add cost — what matters is how many looks and how much time we actually need.

Not the runway walk itself — I'm not going to be stationed at the end of the runway photographing models as they walk (Milan Fashion Week being the one exception that might change my answer). What I will shoot is the fashion itself: backstage prep, editorial moments, and the collection up close.

Wardrobe is the designer's responsibility, not the model's — the designer brings and manages the clothes; I bring the lighting, direction, and eye.

The designer or brand handles garment care — I'll always treat the pieces carefully, but I'm not acting as a wardrobe handler.

That hasn't actually come up yet, but if it does, ad and campaign usage gets worked out as its own conversation before we shoot, since it's priced differently than standard lookbook or editorial use.

It varies a lot by event type, but as a rough guide, expect somewhere in the dozens per hour of genuinely usable, culled images — not a raw frame count.

Yes — there's a 2-hour minimum on event bookings.

For bigger events, yes, that can be arranged — just flag it when you're booking so I can plan for it.

It helps a lot — even a rough outline of key moments (toasts, awards, specific people) means I don't miss what matters to you.

If we're close to the edge of your booked time, I'll give you a heads-up rather than just running the clock silently.

Yes, a small same-day highlight set is something I can usually turn around if you let me know in advance.

Photography is my main focus, but I can talk through video options depending on what you need.

Yes — event travel follows the same terms as any other shoot. See Travel below for the specifics.

Most product work happens with the product in-studio — mailing it in or dropping it off both work.

White-background is a clean, isolated product shot for listings; styled adds props, surfaces, and a scene for a more editorial look.

It depends on the product size and how simple or complex the shot setup is — tell me the product and I'll give you a real estimate.

I have some props on hand, but if you have a specific aesthetic in mind, bring anything you want included.

Yes — send me examples of your current photos and I'll shoot to match the look so your catalog stays consistent.

Standard web-ready JPEGs sized for listings, with higher-resolution versions available if you need them for print.

Yes, for an added fee — just tell me your deadline up front so I know if it's realistic.

Yes — if the product is apparel, that's really a Fashion Line shoot; for other product types shown in a lifestyle setting, it falls under a Designer/Brand collaboration rather than Product's standard studio rate. Tell me what the product is and I'll point you to the right one.

Headshots are a focused, efficient session built around one or two professional images; portraits give you more time, more looks, and more creative range.

Yes, that's exactly what the Headshots tier is built for.

Yes, as long as the locations are close enough together that we're not losing the whole session to driving.

Yes — just let me know the group size so I can plan the right amount of time and space. Larger groups may carry a higher fee depending on headcount.

I don't do hair and makeup myself, but I work with people I trust and can bring someone in for your session — it's a paid add-on, priced on the A La Carte page. If you'd rather source your own, that's fine too; I'm also happy to make a recommendation.

I don't own a studio myself, but I work out of Miller Visual Media — 3768 Norwood Dr UNIT E, Littleton, CO 80125. You'll also find it marked on the map at the bottom of the Contact page.

Yes, there's parking available on-site at Miller Visual Media.

However many you want to shoot in — genuinely, there's no cap. A few things worth knowing before you pack the whole closet, though: we can run out of time before we run out of outfits. If we're not shooting in a studio, we'll need to find you somewhere safe to actually change between looks. And sometimes more options just means more time spent deciding, not more time shooting.

None of that means hold back, though — bring everything you're considering, and we'll figure out what we can get through.

That depends on what kind of shoot we're doing. If it's digitals for an agency, keep it simple — black bottoms with a black top, or black bottoms with a white top. If we're doing something more artistic, you've got options: we can look into getting something custom made for the shoot, which costs a bit more but is often worth it. Or just bring pieces you already own and want to shoot in.

Absolutely — music helps people loosen up, so bring whatever gets you in the right headspace.

Yes, there's a private area for changing and keeping your things out of the way during the shoot.

Water's always available; for longer sessions, let me know and we can plan a food break into the schedule.

Absolutely — I encourage it. I won't be photographing them, but I want you to feel comfortable, and having someone you trust there is one of the best ways to make sure this feels like a safe space. A friend, a parent, whoever that is for you — bring them along.

Yes, if it's someone you bring along — just loop me in beforehand so we can work around it. I can't personally shoot BTS video while I'm shooting your actual session, but I can also arrange a videographer for that, at their own rate, if you'd rather have it handled professionally.

Yes, it's a normal indoor studio space — not a converted garage or warehouse with no climate control.

For outdoor locations, almost always — just check that the specific spot doesn't have pet restrictions. For shoots at the studio, I'd need to check with the studio owner first, since the rules there can be different.

Just text or call as soon as you know. You're still getting the full time you booked — I won't trim the session short because you were late, unless you have a hard deadline of your own that means you have to leave early.

Yes — every image that leaves my hands gets a retouching pass, with one exception: agency digitals are intentionally left natural and unretouched, since that's what agencies actually want to see.

Turnaround depends on how much retouching a shoot actually needs, but most sessions are done within 2 business days unless we've talked about something different. That said, if you booked a shoot with a ton of outfit changes and I'm retouching over 100 images, that can stretch to a week or two — so if you're on a deadline, just tell me up front and I'll do what I can to prioritize it.

That depends on the package, but you'll get a proof gallery to pick your selects from before anything gets retouched.

You do — I'll flag my personal favorites, but the final call on what gets retouched is always yours.

No — I don't release raw or unretouched files on any package. Once those are out of my hands I have no control over how they get edited or used, and that's not a risk I'm willing to take.

Yes, full-resolution files are more than enough for large prints, not just web use.

Yes — acrylic prints in multiple sizes are a standing offering. Canvas and paper/vinyl prints are also available on request, since pricing on those shifts with size, material weight, and finishing details like grommets.

Yes, within reason — send me reference images and I'll tell you honestly if it's a style I can deliver well.

Your delivered gallery stays live for 2 months. After that, just reach out and I can get you access again.

Yes — tell me what you want changed and I'll let you know what's reasonable. I'm happy to do a few rounds of revisions on a specific image, but if it turns into repeated iteration requests across a dozen images, that's no longer something I can do for free.

Usage terms are negotiable and worked out on a per-person basis depending on what you need the photos for. If you're picturing something bigger, like commercial use or a licensing deal, just bring that up before we shoot so we can figure out terms that work for both of us.

Yes, standard usage includes me sharing the work in my portfolio and on social unless we've specifically agreed otherwise.

Yes — a parent or guardian needs to be present and sign on behalf of anyone under 18.

That's a bigger usage question than standard personal use covers — bring it up before we shoot so we can set terms that work.

Just ask, and I'll take them down — no issue, no argument.

No, I don't submit client work to stock sites.

Yes, within reason. If you're within about 60 miles of me here in Aurora, there's no extra cost — I'll just drive out. Outside that radius but still in Colorado, there's a $200 travel fee.

If it's out of state, whoever's booking covers all travel costs — flights, lodging, an assistant if I need one, and a food stipend. That last one hasn't actually come up yet, so consider it a starting point rather than something set in stone.

No, I don't. There's nothing wrong with that style — it's just not what I focus on. To me, fashion and beauty photography is about clothing on a model: wearable art, built for the person wearing it. If boudoir is what you're looking for, I'm happy to point you toward people who specialize in it — that's just not the work I do myself.

It depends on the specifics — talk to me about exactly what you're picturing and I'll tell you honestly if it's something I'm the right fit for.

Yes, absolutely — tell me what you need ahead of time and we'll plan the shoot around it.

Yes — if a venue requires proof of insurance, I can provide that.

Yes — a lot of my favorite shoots are exactly that kind of blend. Just describe what you're picturing.

Occasionally, when the concept is strong enough — reach out and pitch it, and I'll tell you honestly if it's something I want to take on.

Both — on-location action coverage and studio-based athletic portraits are both things I do.

Posed athletic portraits run like a standard portrait session; fast-paced action coverage is priced more like event work, since it takes more frames and more culling to get the keepers.
