HOW A PHOTO SHOOT WORKS

1. Plan the shoot

You share your goals, vibe, and how you plan to use the photos. We lock in a location, shot list, and timeline so shoot day is smooth.

2. Photo shoot Day

I direct poses, details, and lighting so you do not have to guess what to do. We capture a mix of hero shots, details, and candid moments.

3. Photo shoot Day

I edit your photos for color, contrast, and consistency, then deliver them in an online gallery ready to download, share, and post.

For the Torgoen T18 campaign, I created clean product photography and a short video that Torgoen can use across social media and ads. From crisp detail shots to lifestyle images, the visuals keep this aviation-inspired watch looking sharp, premium, and ready to stop the scroll.

Kentucky Fried Chicken

For KFC’s potato wedges comeback, I created a mix of promotional photos and video that focused on both the food and the story behind it. I shot the cooking process, close-ups of the crispy wedges, and lifestyle shots of Mikaela enjoying the product, giving KFC a library of social-ready content to use across their launch and ongoing marketing.

 FAQs

  • I shoot a mix of brand, product, event, portrait, and content-focused photography. Most of my work is for businesses and creatives who need images for their website, social media, and campaigns, but I also take on select personal projects when the fit is right.

  • I’m based in Canton, Ohio and most of my shoots happen around Canton, Akron, and Cleveland. I’m happy to travel anywhere in Northeast Ohio, and I can travel farther for larger projects with travel costs built into the quote.

  • Pricing depends on the type of shoot, how long we’re shooting, and how you plan to use the images.

    Most local photography projects start in the $300–$600 range and scale up for bigger campaigns and events. Once I know what you need, I’ll send a clear, custom quote so there are no surprises.

  • I work mostly with custom quotes, because every project, location, and deliverable list is different. That said, I do have common starting points for things like brand sessions, events, and portraits, which we can use as a baseline and adjust from there.

  • First, you tell me what you’re working on, your timeline, and how you want to use the images. From there we lock in a plan for the shoot, I photograph everything we discussed, and then I edit and deliver the final photos in an online gallery you can download and share from.

  • Most sessions run between one and three hours, depending on how many looks, locations, or products we’re covering.

    Turnaround time is usually about 4 days, and I’ll give you a more exact estimate once I know the scope of your project.

  • I often handle both photography and video for the same client or event. For smaller projects I can cover both myself, and for larger productions I can bring in additional crew so we don’t miss anything important.

  • The exact number depends on the project, but you’ll receive a curated set of fully edited images rather than every single frame from the shoot. I deliver everything in an online gallery where you can download high-resolution files and create selects for web, print, and social.
