Frequently Asked Questions

Do you photograph families/children/babies?
No, I am no longer able to fit everyday sessions into my busy schedule. I currently focus my business on weddings, engagements, and senior portraits.

Where did you study photography?
While I did take a few film photography classes at Piedmont College, I am otherwise completely self taught! I am driven by my love for both photography and my clients. I have always been very artistic and photography is one of the ways I love expressing myself with.

Who are your favorite photographers?
Oh gosh, there are a lot. But my very top favorites are Jose Villa, Stephanie Williams, Jessica Claire, Brandon Kidd, Jackie Wonders and Elizabeth Messina.

What does the key represent in your logo?
It’s actually not supposed to represent anything in particular! I love skeleton keys and antique designs, and the key is just very “me”—however, people all the time see it and make jokes about “unlocking memories”! :]

Do you offer prints and products?
Yes! From the modest 4×6 to a gorgeous 20×30 canvas to custom designed cards, I offer a wide range of photographic prints and products. Price list is available upon request!

What equipment/camera/lenses do you use?
I shoot with two Canon 50D DSLRs, and a variety of Canon lenses. I have two 580EX II flash units and I LOVE them.

What is your editing process like?
I shoot completely manual and the importance of nailing the exposure the first time is important, however, I shoot in RAW to correct the white balance in post-processing and to retain all the extra information stored in a RAW file. I adjust the exposure if needed, export to JPEG and put into Photoshop for any retouching. I sometimes use Lightroom but I love Photoshop actions best these days.
