PHOTOGRAPHY
CAPTURE THE MOMENT
Out of all my years of doing photography and video, I STILL to this day get the goosebumps anytime I capture a photo that captures the memory perfectly.
Like, when I went hiking up in the mountains of Colorado, and snapped a photo of the landscape. My friends and I looked at the image and one of them said, “Dude it literally looks like a photo you’d see in a calendar.”
Or another time when I was taking some senior portraits in my first year doing photography (still think about this moment to this day), the girl I was taking photos of seemed a little self conscious because of all the other people getting their photos done at the same park. I told her not to worry about them, only focus on what we’re doing right now. I snapped a few photos and showed her what I took. She almost burst into tears and said to me, “I didn’t think anyone could ever make me feel this beautiful.”
Another time was when I was taking some photos of a band for their first ever album release. After I delivered the photos, one of the guys in the band private messaged me and said, “you made us feel like a REAL band.”
One day I was photographing a wedding, and after I sent the photos over, the bride told me that she was so grateful that I captured photos of her dad that day, because it was one of the last times he was alive. She said she would cherish those photos of him forever.
It seriously warms my heart when I can capture moments like that, and it keeps me going to this day. hearing different stories about how my photography made their day, allowed them to cherish memories, made them feel beautiful, like a rockstar, or like the absolute king/queen that they are, makes this job all worth it.

HOW MUCH DO MY PHOTOGRAPHY SESSIONS COST?
PRICING / INVESTMENT
All my prices for my photography sessions vary for each individual project.
I like to get a good understanding of what each photo session calls me to do, in order to get the best results for YOU.
If I don’t fully understand the project and what is required, then I can’t accurately price it out because the amount of hours it takes to shoot and edit is totally unknown.
This is why I have my form submission in the link below, which will help me narrow in on a price for any sort of photography that you’d like me to do for you.
So click the link below and we’ll get started with a free consultation for you to help me fully understand what type of photo work you’re wanting, and we’ll go from there!
Can’t wait to hear from you soon!
PRINTS FOR SALE
Remember the days before digital cameras and smartphones, when the only way to see the special moments you’d snapped with your camera was to have them printed? Those were the days. Digital cameras and smartphones may have changed everything, but printing photos has never been more important.
Smartphones have made it so easy for us to be snap-happier than ever before. We no longer need to carry a clunky camera around: we’ve got a powerful, portable camera that we can keep in our pocket. An estimated 1.2 TRILLION photos were taken last year, with 85% of them being taken on a smartphone.
That’s a lot of photos. We’ve all got so many stored on our smartphones that, if we don’t print them off, they risk being completely forgotten about.
All of them – even the blurred or ‘imperfect’ ones – deserve to be printed, rather than remaining as nothing more than a piece of digital data on your mobile device.
“We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.” - Katie Thurmes
Have truer words ever been spoken?
Swiping through a smartphone gallery to look at your snaps is still fun. But, it’s still no comparison to actually holding real, printed photos in your hands. It really does make the memories more tangible.
You remember the smells, sounds and sights of that particular moment in time. It takes you back, however long ago it was. That printed photo is your return ticket to a moment otherwise gone.
Do you remember, years ago, when you’d send off your film to be developed and then have to wait a couple of weeks to get them back? When the package was posted through the mailbox, the anticipation to see your snaps was almost unbearable?
You can still achieve that feeling by getting your photos printed! Unlike decades ago, you’ll only be waiting for a maximum of 5 working days to receive your photo prints.
And then, even after the anticipation of waiting for your photos to arrive, that feeling you get when you flick through your photos is second to none.
Whether you get them printed on a photo mug, canvas, calendar or collate them all in a photo book matters not. What really matters is that photos and memories make perfect gifts. They’re gifts that keep on giving.
Taking someone back to a special moment in time, you’re giving them that return ticket that Katie Thurmes describes so poignantly. You can’t really put a price on that. The value of the photo print or photo book may be fairly nominal, but giving someone that memory is priceless.
Without printing photos and putting them in an album, or adding them to a photo book, what are you going to use to embarrass your son or daughter with on their 18th Birthday? Or when they bring home their first partner to meet you?
On a more serious note, printing photos gives you the ability to document your life – friends, family, the good times and the bad – in pictures.
