Creative / Branding

Album art, editorial, small businesses, cafes, musicians, and brand campaigns. Every project is different — let's talk about yours and build something around your specific vision!

GOOD TO KNOW

A few answers before you reach out.

Every story is different, but these are the questions that come up most often. If yours isn’t here, ask away.

Still wondering about something?

Send the question, the half-formed plan, or the whole moodboard. It’s all welcome.

What if my creative project is a little unusual?

Perfect. Album art, editorial stories, cafes, musicians, small businesses, and brand campaigns all begin with a custom conversation. Tell me the idea—even if it’s still taking shape—and we’ll build from there!

How are images delivered?

All images will be delivered through an online full edited gallery. If you need a particular format or delivery arrangement, mention it in your inquiry so we can plan around it.

How do deposits and booking work?

Send an inquiry with your date and what you’re planning, and I’ll reply with the next steps, including a 15-20 mins consultation session and any deposit and agreement details. Deposits are 50% of the entire payment.

When will the images be ready?

Wedding galleries are delivered within 6 weeks, elopement and couple galleries within 1–3 weeks, and portrait galleries within 1–2 weeks. Ask about timing for a custom creative project.

Do you travel?

If your plans take you somewhere meaningful, I’d love to hear about it! Travel details depend on the date and location, so share both in your inquiry and we can talk through what’s possible.

Film, digital, or both?

All three are possible. Weddings can be photographed on 35mm film and digital simultaneously. For couple sessions and portraits, you can choose film, digital, or both depending on the look and pace you’re drawn to.

LET’S MAKE SOMETHING TRUE

Tell me what you’re planning—and what you want it to feel like.

A wedding with every favorite person. A portrait that finally feels like you. A brand idea scribbled in the margins. Send the date, place, and whatever you know so far. We’ll take it from there.
