Please submit an inquiry through my contact form for the fastest response. Once we’ve confirmed a date and time I’ll send the deposit invoice and contract for review and submission.

When is my session confirmed?

Availability
Do you offer weekend availability?
I’m currently available for sessions during both weekdays and weekends.
Please be aware that weekends fill up significantly faster, and public locations are typically much busier.
What time of day is best?
It really depends on what type of lighting you like, time of year, as well as the location! I’m happy to help guide in choosing the optimal session time for your goals.
What locations do you serve?
My sessions include travel within 25 miles from the Portland, Oregon area. Locations further away will require an extra charge to compensate for added mileage and time.
