How much is this going to cost?
It truly depends on what you want. I will be adding a pricing sheet soon, but for now if you are truly interested in my services, please reach out. I will be happy to discuss options with you and help you come up with something amazing that you can afford. The only thing I will not do is turn over my RAW files and my copyright.
What should I wear?
Great question!!! What makes you feel incredible? You put on that favorite top and you are like “Yeah, buddy! I look GOOD.” If you feel good, you will look good. I’m working on a styling magazine but while that’s in the works let me just share a few things. Baggy clothes are seldom flattering in photographs. Make sure your clothes fit. You should not all match in group pictures. You will look like a choir. Stay in same color families and wear what you love. Black is awesome but try to jazz it up with jewelry and accessories that make it pop. I’m always happy to help you with your wardrobe ahead of time.
Do you do hair and makeup?
Not at this time but I’m working on it. I do recommend that you get your hair and makeup done for the BOUDIE/BEAUTY and SENIOR sessions if you can. I hope to offer that soon!
Where are some good places to do my pictures?
Oh my gosh. Where do I start? YOU are the star of the image. If you like sand and water, Creve Coeur Park has those. If you like to climb, Cliff Cave Park. Into theatre? How about the Muny and Forest Park. Artistic? The Graffiti Wall or outside Venice Cafe. Some of my favorites are Busch Wildlife and Castlewood Park. We can do The Loop, Main Street (anywhere), Soulard or even inside City Museum. There are any number of parks and venues in the St. Louis Metro area. It just needs to fit you.
Do you have a studio?
I do. Sort of. Inside my home. I have two spots that I commonly use for studio images. I have backdrops, background walls and a record wall (did I mention my affinity for music?).
Will you travel to do my session?
Absolutely! Where are you taking me?! In all seriousness, I will if I am able but there will be additional travel fees.
Do you really not do weddings and newborns?
I have been talked into a few small, very small, weddings. I have done some newborn lifestyle photography. I do not do all of the props and things. There are amazing photographers out there that specialize in just doing those two things. I’m happy to let them. If you REALLY NEED ME, we can talk but I still might say no.
