Pricing
In today’s economy—where the cost of living keeps going up and even a gallon of milk feels like a luxury item—it’s no wonder people worry about the expense of photography. Planning an event? You’ve already got the venue, the guest list, and the food bill that could fund a small country. Weddings? Don’t even get me started: the dress, the reception, the honeymoon… and yes, somehow chair covers cost more than actual chairs. Even portraits come with extras—hair, makeup, a new outfit (or three). I get it. I really do.
That’s why I keep it simple: everyone wants the best quality at the best price—and that’s exactly what I aim for. I love taking pictures. Honestly, I’d rather charge a little less and stay busy than charge an arm, a leg, and possibly a kidney just to shoot one or two events a month.
So, no confusing or overpriced “platinum diamond unicorn package.” I charge by the hour. You get the coverage you need, the headshots you want, nothing more, nothing less. Simple, predictable pricing, so you can spend less time stressing over spreadsheets and more time practicing your dance moves.

Wedding Pricing
Wedding Day – $250 per hour
No confusing packages, no “all day or nothing” rates—I keep it simple: $250 an hour. This cost includes the photography, editing, the release, and the images themselves in a digital format.
Proposals, Engagement Photos, Bridal Showers, Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties – $150 per hour
From the “down on one knee” moment to the “who invited the guy with the inflatable flamingo” moment—I’ve got you covered. Proposals, engagement photos, bridal showers, bachelor parties, bachelorette parties… if it’s part of the wedding journey (or just an excuse to celebrate), I’ll capture it.
And don’t worry—if the proposal involves a waterfall, the engagement session includes your dog in a bow tie, or the bachelorette party somehow ends up in an alley downtown, I’ve seen it all. I’ll be there clicking away while you make the memories.
Portraits
Senior Photos, Fitness Portraits, Boudoir Shoots – Studio or On Location – $150 per hour
Whether you’re celebrating graduation, showing off those gym gains, or creating a gift that will make someone’s jaw drop, I’ve got you covered. Senior photos, fitness portraits, boudoir sessions—you choose the vibe, I’ll make sure it looks amazing.
We can shoot in my fully equipped studio or head out on location for something a little more adventurous. Bring as many wardrobe changes as you like—seriously, if you want ten outfits, go for it. Want to bring people or pets into the session? No problem. I’ve photographed couples, families, and yes, even pets in boudoir sessions. (Turns out dogs are naturals at stealing the spotlight. 🐶)
The point is: it’s your shoot, your style, your story. I’ll guide you with posing, lighting, and just the right amount of humor to keep things fun and relaxed. You’ll walk away with portraits that you’ll love—and maybe a funny behind-the-scenes story or two.
Corporate
Corporate Event photography – $150 per hour.
Corporate events may sound buttoned-up, but trust me—they’re always fun (and occasionally hilarious). Over the years, I’ve photographed everything from crisp professional headshots to holiday parties where the CFO suddenly becomes a karaoke legend.
I’ve covered three-day conventions packed with keynote speakers, breakout sessions, and panel discussions—and I’ve also survived week-long incentive trips to the Bahamas (yes, it’s still work… even if the “office” is a beach chair).
My job is to be everywhere at once: catching the keynote speaker on stage, documenting the roundtable discussions, and, of course, grabbing those candid shots by the lunch buffet (because nothing bonds a team like free food). And don’t forget the talent shows—because nothing says “team building” quite like seeing your boss juggle or attempt stand-up comedy.
Bottom line: I know how to keep up with the pace, capture the highlights, and deliver professional images that reflect both the business side and the fun side of your corporate event.
EVENTS
Birthday Parties, Baby Showers, Celebrations of Life, Charity Events, Bachelor & Bachelorette Parties – $150 per hour
From the sugar-high chaos of kids’ birthday parties to the heartfelt tears at a celebration of life, from baby showers full of tiny socks to bachelor parties full of… well, things we don’t always talk about—I’ve photographed it all. And I love every second of it.
The common thread? Fun people, fun times, and real moments worth remembering. Charity galas with champagne and gowns? I’m there. Backyard BBQ birthdays with balloons and bounce houses? Count me in. Bachelorette parties downtown that somehow end up in an alley with a marching band? Yep, been there too.
I thrive on the laughter, the dancing, the stories, and the “did-that-really-just-happen?” moments. My job is to capture it all—posed shots, candids, and those little in-between moments that make each event unique.
Bottom line: if there are people celebrating, I’m ready with my camera (and maybe an exit strategy if cake fights break out). 🎉📸
Sports & Performances
$150 per hour
From fitness shoots in the gym to high school track meets, from the roar of an NFL game at Titan Stadium to the sparkle of dance recitals, concerts, and even burlesque shows—I’ve photographed it all.
Whether you need individual portraits, team photos, or in-the-moment action shots, I’m ready to capture the energy, the grit, and the “did-that-really-just-happen” moments. One minute it’s sweat and sneakers, the next it’s sequins and spotlights—and I thrive on the challenge of catching every detail.
My rate is $150 per hour, which includes photography, editing, and a full release of the images. No confusing packages, no waiting months for photos—just fast, professional results that make you look as epic as you felt in the moment.
So whether you’re running laps, rocking a stage, or striking a pose under neon lights, I’ll be there to get the shot. (And yes, I’ve learned that athletes and performers have one thing in common: they always want proof of how cool they looked doing it.)
Additional Editing
Unless we’ve arranged otherwise, I shoot everything in RAW. Why? Because RAW files give me the biggest editing range and the best quality… plus, they’re huge, so my hard drives are basically crying.
My editing time is already included in my hourly rate, and that covers the essentials: color correction, cropping, vignetting, and sharpening (or softening) when needed. Basically, I make sure your photos look amazing without making you look like a wax figure. If you want something extra fancy—special edits outside the norm—there may be an additional fee.
Once edits are done, I’ll deliver two sets: one folder of high-resolution JPGs (perfect for printing) and another folder sized for social media (so you can post without Instagram yelling at you for “file too large”).
If you have other images you’d like me to edit, or additional edits to the work we have done, I’m happy to do that too! My rate is $50 an hour, but I do require permission from the original photographer—because editing someone else’s work without consent is basically the photography version of cutting the line at Starbucks.
Travel & Fees
My travel rate is $30 per hour that I spend behind the wheel. Pretty straightforward. Of course, with gas prices playing the stock market and traffic jams popping up out of nowhere, that number can vary. I reserve the right to adjust based on the season, road conditions, and whether I’m dodging snowstorms, potholes, or tractor parades.
I do tack on additional fees if I have toll roads or have to pay for parking.
For destination weddings and corporate travel, just reach out—we’ll figure it out. (And yes, I promise not to charge extra if my GPS decides to “recalculate” three times on the way.)
What You Get
When you hire me, you’re getting 30 years of photography experience, a clear communicator, a problem solver, some of the best gear money can buy—and, of course, GREAT photos.
You’re also getting someone who can roll with just about anything: animals, kids, and even the occasional grumpy uncle who thinks he should be running the shoot. (Don’t worry, I’ve got strategies for all of them.)
And when it comes to your images—you get all the usable shots, fully and professionally edited, delivered digitally with no watermark. Plus, a full release so you can print, share, or plaster them on a billboard if you’d like. (Certain exceptions may apply… like if your cat insists on modeling. No promises there. 😄)
“You bring the smiles, I’ll bring the camera.”
