honored you’ve made it here.
let’s begin our creative collaboration.
Typically, i will open my books for two parts of the year (january to may and then june to december). That said, if you WANT to book outside of the current window, don’t hesitate to reach out so we can get acquainted and we can move forward with my official booking process once it falls within this booking window.
please NOTE — I reserve weekends for time with my family so I will typically schedule sessions Monday-Thursday. This is beneficial for any location that is crowded. exceptions will always be made for travel. For any special circumstance, please reach out and we can try to find a solution that works for both of us!
