I love knowing that what I capture is becoming part of someone's heirlooms, their legacy. I love helping other photographers find their calling and perfect their craft. I have been doing this for well over a decate now, and love every minute of it.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
A short call or conversation detailing what you want to learn, and where you want to go in your photography journey would be the first step - and then we go from there!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Over a decade of experience as a full time professional photographer. I've photographed hundreds of weddings, families, and portraits. I was nominated for Honeybooks 20 On the Rise.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Not always standard since I price per students needs, but a half hour session is $45 / hour is $60
How did you get started teaching?
I've been teaching and mentoring photographers for the last 6 years or so. I founded an educational retreat called The Film Gathering that brings together photographers with a love of film photographer to learn and grow together.
What types of students have you worked with?
All types - from professionals to amateurs.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find someone whose work you love and admire, and then learn from them. Make sure they are actually being profitable with their work (if that's what you are hoping to do with yours) and that it's the right fit ... for example, learning landscape photography from someone who only photographs babies might not be the best fit!
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Where do you want to go long term with your photography? Is it a hobby or a career? Do you have all the equipment you need already for the genre of photography you want to do? Set up a time to discuss this with the teacher!
