FAQs
What packages do you offer?
1
My session pricing is about time spent shooting. I deliver 25 edited photos per 30 minutes of shooting (e.g. 90 minutes = 75 edited photos). I do not limit locations or outfits, as long as expectations are logistically reasonable. Additional photos beyond 25 per 30 minutes are available for an additional fee.
Do you offer discounts?
2
I offer discounts for first-gen students, students on need-based financial aid, and students in some partnering student organizations.
What is your typical turnaround time?
3
For college graduates, organizations, and family sessions, delivery is 2-3 weeks on average. Large events may take closer to 3-4 weeks.
What time of day do people shoot?
4
My equipment and experience allow me to shoot effectively at any time of day, but most clients, and I myself, have a preference for afternoon light, typically 1-2 hours after midday through 30 minutes before sunset. Some also prefer other times. Midday is typically not preferred if shooting extensively outdoors, though many campus locations can work midday, if shooting on campuses with significant building and tree cover, such as A&M or UT-Austin. I also have equipment to shoot night or indoor photography.
What happens to the extra photos?
5
All RAW photo files are stored in an archive that is currently being maintained indefinitely, but which is not guaranteed active beyond 1 year. Clients may purchase their RAW photo files as an add-on, and/or clients may purchase additional batches of edited photo files.
Do you charge extra if my dog, cat, mom, dad, sibling, boyfriend, girlfriend, spouse, roommate, etc. are in my pics?
6
Your time is your time. The only exception off the top of my head is that additional graduates, meaning I’m editing grad photos for multiple people from one session, must pay the extra graduate fee, because when I’m editing different clients, that is additional personalization and work that is taking place. Otherwise, anybody is welcome in your photos.
How do the edits work?
7
I have sourced my base presets from national award-winning photographers who market their presets, and my adapted versions of those presets are my baseline for my editing. I do offer alternative presets that are more stylized, and I have black-and-white options available, as well. Otherwise, my base preset is a clean, punchy, professional look with warmth and true tones and an air of classical magazine style.
Should I expect lines on my campus?
8
By far, the most high-traffic area is the Jack K. Williams Administration Building (“Admin Building”) at Texas A&M College Station. During peak seasons, starting 3-4 hours before sunset, clients may expect a wait of over an hour, so arriving early is suggested, especially since this is typically my starting location for Texas A&M graduate shoots. This location is not suggested for student organizations during peak season.
Other locations with decent traffic include the bell tower at Texas A&M, the bell tower at Sam Houston State, the fountain at UT-Austin, the door at UT-Austin, the stairs at UT-Austin, and the gate/tower at UT-Austin.
How do I pick my choices of images?
9
I use a feature in Adobe Lightroom called the “proofing album,” which is a cloud album accessible via phone or computer where clients can see the RAW image files, and where they will be able to sort, filter, and ultimately select their desired images for processing. It’s very straightforward and makes it easy for my clients to choose the photos they want, while streamlining the development process for me.
Do you just shoot college grads?
10
My primary business as of 2026 consists of college graduates, student organizations, Greek life, headshots, and organization events, but I frequently also shoot couples, engagements, families, corporate headshots, newborns, maternity, quinces, and I have shot weddings, though it is not my primary business.
