Style and Quality

I use a Canon Pixma PRO-100 which uses six color inks and 3 black and white inks.
Q: Are your prints fade proof?
The prints are not fade proof, however they are fade resistant and are meant to last a very long time. They should not fade very much at all over the course of one lifetime, except if in extreme conditions, like outdoors in constant, direct sunlight.
Post Production
Q: How were these photos created?
All of the photos I sell as prints were shot on film. I took the photo, developed it myself, and edited it in Photoshop/Lightroom.

I shoot with a variety of different cameras, mainly medium format, 35MM, and some large format.
Q: Can we edit any of the pictures you give us?
“No, sorry. All of the photos you get will be edited to reflect the style of my work and will be print ready, Instagram worthy, and Facebook likeable. You won't need to fix anything!”
Engagement Sessions
Q: How are final images delivered?
Family, portrait, wedding, and engagement sessions photos are delivered through an online gallery. Prints are included in some packages.
Q: How soon will I get the images from our session?
For portrait, family, and engagement sessions, photos have a two week turn around time. Weddings have a six week turn around.
Q: How many edited images do I get from a session with you?
For a portrait session, you will receive around 40-80 images. Family sessions usually run around 100 images or so. From an 8 hour wedding, you will get about 800-1,000+ images. These numbers are estimates, I promise you will have more than enough photos to choose from!
