Where are you located?
I am based in Boca Raton, however the vast majority of my work is done on location.

Will you travel to shoot my event?
Yes! As we set up the details of the shoot there may be a fee to cover time and expenses. For the time being, I will go anywhere in the South Florida region.

What is the process to begin working with you?
Once you contact me we will establish if your preferred date is available. If so, we can schedule a time to meet and discuss your event or individual need. At this meeting, I can provide examples of my work, and we can refine the details of a contract.

Do you have current clients who I can speak with?
I maintain a comprehensive list of clients who could provide you with honest feedback about my work. As we meet to discuss your needs, these references can be provided to you.

When are you available?
As you may have already found, experienced and professional photographers are in demand. I often book far in advance. Please contact me as early as possible if you are seeking a specific date.

How far in advance should I book?
I would suggest contacting me at least a month or more before your scheduled date.

What should I look for in a photographer?
In addition to having experience and knowing what to expect, a professional will seek to guide you and your guests quickly and easily through the whirlwind of your special occasion. Look for someone with whom you are comfortable! Courtesy and competence, humor and stamina, a great eye, and being “all over the place” at the same time are a sign of excellence. It is not uncommon for the photographer to sense the pacing of an event or session and to keep it rolling. While you may choose a photographer by price, availability, the quality of work presented in a portfolio, or by recommendation, the key to great photographs is communication of your “wants” with the photographer. Professional photographers can offer suggestions, and negotiate with you how they will work in advance.

What can I do to make sure the photoshoot goes well?
A little planning goes a very long way. It is important to communicate what you believe you want captured. If you have a large group participating and desire shots of special combinations of people, it is essential that you provide the photographer with a comprehensive list of groupings.
For Newborn shoots and sessions with young children participating, it is important that the young ones are well fed and well rested before the shoot.
As a photographer, and as a mother, I cannot emphasize this last part enough.
All of this and more will be discussed during the consultation.

Do you shoot sensitive subject matter?
I have experience photographing births, pregnancy portraits, and boudoir. Due to privacy issues with my clients I have chosen not to post very many of them online. Please contact me to discuss your needs in greater detail.
