  • "I genuinely loved working with you, from the very beginning right to the last shoot. It's the first time I've worked with a photographer on a personal project so I wasn't sure what to expect but you have been so great and so understanding when I needed to delay my shoot for a rebrand, to when I needed to push the dates out for the second shoot. I loved the fact that you provided a mood board and shoot list. I thought this was great both for me - in understanding what I would get; and for you - in terms of setting my expectations. And you have been so flexible through the whole project. Honestly, you are so talented at what you do, but on top of that are so warm a person and also you just get what I wanted to achieve! You took my brief and turned it into something that I couldn't even imagine, but you captured exactly what I was looking for in such a way that has really elevated my brands look and feel. I love all the photos you have done for me and I love using them! Thanks so much, I am going to be recommending you to everyone who is looking for a photographer!"

 FAQs

  • I will ask you to fill out a short creative brief (or we can jump on a phone call) so I can better understand what you’re looking for and quote your project! It’s important to put as much detail on your brief as possible to ensure we’re on the same page and so that I can quote you accurately!
