Frequently Asked Questions
01
So you live in Maryland, how often do you come to PA?
I visit my hometown in PA quite often, but hold mini sessions in the Lehigh Valley every few months. These mini sessions are at set times in specific locations. I announce these dates about 2 months in advance via my Facebook page. So check back often! I am also available by request with enough notice and depending on availability.
02
Where do you normally hold your sessions in the Lehigh Valley?
My favorite spots are Lock Ridge Park, the Rose Garden, Rodale & the Parkway but am always open to requests.
03
Where do you normally hold your sessions in Maryland?
I live next to the family farm and have access to beautiful fields and old barns so I prefer to shoot here at my home, but am always open to requests.
04
Do you offer in-studio sessions?
At this time, I do not offer in-studio sessions. I mainly prefer to shoot outdoors, in natural light. Depending on the situation I do have limited, portable lighting equipment that I may set up in your home with enough available space.
