Contract Information

As a dedicated and passionate photographer, I’m constantly looking for new moments to capture on camera. Since beginning my professional journey, I’ve worked on many different types of projects that have expanded my experience and added to my portfolio. As such, shoot appointments are in high demand and therefore it is important for me to communicate my expectations clearly to avoid disappointment.
