Answering the top 10 questions.

#1: Can I see that photo you just took?
Answer: No. You can’t look at the raw images on my camera because that’s what they are, raw. Some might be blurry, or I’m not even going to use that image. They need processing. And it takes up mine and yours time off the shoot.

#2: Do you offer printing?
Answer: No. It would add extra costs to your order and it’s also standard practice to just offer online images these days.

#3: Do I get all of the photos?
Answer: yes and no. No, I take typically 7 photos of the same pose and choose the clearest image from the selection. Sometimes there’s blinks or you moved. Yes, you receive all the images that pertains to your shoot. Up to 4 for sports minimum 3, up to 65 for graduation minimum 50 and up to 1000 for a wedding minimum 400.

#4: Can I have the un edited photos as well?
Answer: No? Why would you want those.

#5: How much do you charge?
Answer: $25 for a sports mini package. $50 for family, prom and graduation photos.
$300 for a wedding. However this is my own business so I can raise or lower my prices depending on the job.

#6: Are you going to post these?
Answer: If you do not wish for me to post your images please let me know. I post a few images for advertising and if I can use yours I’d love to.

#7: Can you take this picture?
Answer: Yes! I’ll take any picture idea you have, these are your photos!

#8: Can you resend them?
Answer: Of course I can. I keep my images for a year.

#9: Can you fix this?
Answer: If I spelled your name wrong or something else I’ll gladly fix it right away.

#10: Do you like what you do?
Answer: Yes! I love my job, it’s what I wanted to do since I was in high school. I’m so happy I got to achieve my dream. Sometimes it’s exhausting and even challenging but I love it.

Bryden rarely lets me take photos of him so this was such a fun moment for me.

Just finished editing for this softball team. I was asked to make a memory mat, something I’ve never done before. It was challenging but I figured it out.

Bryden's Baseball photos. I edit his pics last so I can ensure that just s much effort and time is spent on any other kid as I would spend on my own.

It's the last year on Willamette valley babe ruth for some of these kids and Bryden's played with most of them since Tball. It's so neat to watch them grow up together.
