Wedding FAQs
What's your photography style?
My photos tend to be on the brighter and warmer side with lots of light. I love capturing a mix of candid photos as well as photos that are posed. My goal is to have photos that are distinctly you, but on your best day. I don't follow editing trends so in 20 years your photos don't seem dated and instead feel timeless.
You're Engaged, Now What?
The First 10 Steps After You Say "Yes!"
Congratulations! You just said yes to spending your life together with your person! The first step on that journey is a wedding and wedding planning can be extremely overwhelming. Don't worry, here is a list of the first things you should do once you're engaged.
How I Started Photography
It all started when I was 13. I have been interested in photography and video for as long as I can remember. When I got my first point and shoot camera, at age 13, I dragged my little brother outside for a photo shoot and played around with those photos in paint to make it look like he was jumping out of a bunch of flowers or like he was playing baseball at a real stadium. Believe me when I say I have improved a lot since then, but the passion has always been there.
FAQ
Where are you located?
I'm located in Tiffin, Ohio. That's in northwest Ohio by Toledo and Findlay.
Do you travel?
I have my passport and I'm always willing to travel. I also love traveling all over Ohio and all over the US!
Do you have a studio?
I do not have a studio. I prefer to find new locations to shoot at, but I have my favorite locations, both outdoor and indoor so we can find the perfect location for your session.
The Brides Project
Shopping for a wedding dress is an important part of the wedding planning process. You want to find the perfect dress that is uniquely YOU, but you don't want to spend a crazy amount on your dress (or maybe you are on Say Yes to the Dress and you have thousands of dollars to spare, I don't judge). It's hard to find that perfect dress, but I have found the best place for you to get your dress!
5 Best Tiffin Photography Locations for Every Occasion
As a photographer, one of my favorite parts of the job is location scouting. I love exploring my community and finding new places to shoot.
A location can set the tone for the shoot. Taking photos in a gorgeous location is an instant mood booster and not only makes your experience more enjoyable, but also creates stunning photos. It's important to find the right location when taking photos. You want to find something that fits the style and personality of the shoot. Not all places look as great in the winter as they would in the fall. As real estate agents would say, it's all about location, location, location!
10 Tips to Find the Perfect Clothes for your Photo Session
Senior photos are the photos your parents will hang in their house and they will stay there forever so you want to make sure you look good in those photos. To help you find the perfect outfits follow these simple tips.
1. Bring lots of options for outfits.
It’s much better to have too many outfits than not enough. With lots of options for outfits you and your photographer can really decide what outfit looks best with what backgrounds. You also can see what photographs well and choose those photos.
My Favorite Model
I know as a photographer I shouldn't have a favorite model…
…but I do.
My favorite model's name is Kelly.
Nobody starts as a great photographer and I am no exception to that rule. I have always been interested in cameras, but for most of my life, my focus was on video. I still love video (check out this video I edited for City Surge), but I was looking to try something new. Enter my best friend Kelly.
