The FAQ
Do you Travel?
Yes - I regularly drive all over Ohio shoots. For shoots outside of Ohio, there maybe be extra fees to cover travel/lodging.
How long have you been doing this?
I've loved photography, sports, and fitness my whole life. I started pursing photography as a business around 2014 when I first brought my camera into the gym.
How many photos do we get?
That depends on how we set up the shoot. By far my most popular shoot is the "pay for what you want" format. Just as it sounds, you pay only for what you want. We'll shoot and then you can select which images you would like edited and delivered. It is all on me to create content you want to buy. For a 1-2 hour shoot, it is common for clients to come away with a few hundred images.
How do we get our photos?
Final image will be delivered through either a dropbox link and access to a private gallery on my website. You'll be able to download all of the full resolution files.
What do you mean by editing?
Editing can involve brightening/darkening, cropping/straightening, sharpening, color-toning, etc. You are always welcome to ask about specific edits (logo removal, skin blemish removal, etc)
Whats your turn around time?
Proofs for selections are typically available within 2 days of the shoot. Once selections are made, editing takes about a week. Exceptions can be made for more complicated shoots.

Can you help us with planning?
I'll either set up a call you or email you prior to booking to discuss your needs. I'll offer suggestions on how to set up the shoot for best results. I always welcome clients to be active in planning. These photos are for you. Make sure you get what you want.
How far out do you book?
I have a very flexible schedule and can typically accommodate shoots within a week but that depends on my schedule. The more time your plan ahead, the more likely you'll get the time you want.
Can I order prints through you?
I do not offer prints but you can take the full resolution jpg files anywhere to get printed. I deliver electronic files electronically. There are many online print labs available and you can simply take them to Target, Costco, etc. to be printed however. you want.
What should we wear?
I typically recommend neutral colors with minimal logos. This gives the images more flexibility for future use. If there is specific apparel you want photographed, of course, wear that. It is also good to bring a couple changes of clothes. This helps give variety to photos and keep the fresh longer.
