"I’ve hired TJ to do multiple kinds of shoots for me, including portraits, group shoots, and multiple live concerts for me and my band. He is punctual, professional, and delivers some of the best quality I’ve seen from a photographer. He manages to capture the rawness and individuality of those he works with so well, I can’t imagine having anyone else take photos for me, regardless of the occasion."

This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
A.Be yourself! I want to capture the authenticity and atmosphere of the session. Just try and relax into the photoshoot knowing we will create the charm and candidness we have envisioned.
What is your booking process and how does payment work?
A.Once you fill out the booking form, I will reach back out to you within 48 hours for us to plan the details and book the session. I do require a 20% non-refundable deposit due at the time of booking to secure your date. Your deposit is included in the cost of your total payment. We will also schedule a consultation to go over the details and be more comfortable and accustomed before we meet the day of our photoshoot.
For weddings and elopements, I will send you a contract to sign as well as an invoice for payment.
Do you help with the planning process?
A.If you would like my help in any aspects of the planning, I am there! From choosing a location or getting you in touch with vendors or even getting the wedding timeline pinned down, I am here for you.
Do you offer an engagement session with any wedding packages?
A.I truly love being involved from the beginning to the end! I believe a huge benefit of having the same photographer for engagement photos as well as your wedding day is having a closer relationship with your photographer and having an artist who better understands your connection with your partner.
Are you available for destination wedding and elopements?
A.My dream is to be able to travel because of photography. I would love to meet you wherever you want your vision captured! Certain locations outside of the Reno and Lake Tahoe area are even eligible for a discounted travel package.
Can you help with posing or is everything normally candid?
A.I do feel my best work is candid, but I will have prompts and ideas to help guide the session. We will be sure to capture your love authentically and magically.
Do you offer a second shooter or assistant for wedding day?
A.I am lucky enough to have strong relationships with a few photographers who would be willing to assist me on wedding days. There is an additional fee for adding a second photographer, but is always a great option. I am excellent at what I do, however, I can never be in two places at once.
How and when will I receive my photos?
A.You will receive your images via an online gallery. For portrait sessions, a link to your gallery will be sent to you within 15 days of the session. For weddings you will receive your link about 2-3 weeks after your wedding date. You will be able to download and save the images from your gallery, order high quality prints, and share them with loved ones easily.
How many photos would I receive?
A.The average is about 60-90 photos for engagement and proposal sessions. For weddings, it is usually 100-115 photos per hour of shooting.
Do you deliver raw photos?
A.I believe when you choose your photographer, you are also choosing someone's work you resonate with. I have a vision when capturing your session of how it will look in the end so the editing process is crucial to my artistic approach. I do not provide raw photos, however, the ones you receive are the honest representation of your day that had a great amount of artistry and care put into them.
Do you offer prints?
A.I will share your gallery via Pixieset where you have the option to order fine art quality prints of your favorites in a variety of sizes.
What is your cancellation or rescheduling policy?
A.In the event of rescheduling, I will use reasonable efforts to accommodate your change. If I am unable to accommodate the change due to scheduling conflict, it will be deemed a cancellation and no refund is offered. If you cancel without wanting to reschedule, the deposit will also not be refunded. If unforeseen circumstances prevent me from being there, the deposit will be fully refunded.
