Eligibility & Application

No pressure. Just a friendly conversation.

By-application brand & lifestyle portraits for founders, creatives, and families.

I keep sessions selective to protect creative quality, direction, and fast delivery (48–72 hours). If your project has a real goal and deadline, we’ll be a great fit.

Why Selective
Direction-heavy sessions work best with decisive timelines. This keeps the creative tight, the day calm, and your gallery on point. You’re always free to pass if timing isn’t right.

Ideal Fit / Not a Fit:
Ideal Fit (You’ll thrive here if…)

  • You have a clear purpose (site refresh, launch, PR, album) within 30–45 days

  • You can decide within 72 hours after our call and move quickly on prep

  • You’re open to light art direction (locations, wardrobe, natural posing)

  • Budget is prepared for session + licensing add-ons (as needed)

Not a Fit (for now)

  • “Someday” projects with no timeline

  • Indefinite approvals or large committees

  • Requests that conflict with safety, location rules, or ethics

Cohort Windows (Next 90 Days)

I open a limited number of shoots each month to protect turnaround and creative quality.

  • December 2025: 2 Brand/Lifestyle slots

  • January 2026: 4 Brand/Lifestyle slots · 1 Event half-day

How It Works

How the Process Works

  1. Apply for a Fit Check (15-20 minute Chat) — Share goals, timeline, vibe. If it’s a match, We’ll Meet in person.

  2. Discovery Meeting (30–60 min) — Refine vision, confirm locations, outline deliverables and usage.

  3. Greenlight & Prep — Fixed quote, invoice, prep guide. Then we shoot—gallery delivered in 48–72 hours.
