What should we wear?

When I look at a picture of a person, where does my eye naturally want to go? It is my goal to “approve things that are excellent; that we may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ.” (Philippians 1:10)
Therefore, I follow the general guideline that modest clothing naturally draws attention to the face. On the other hand, in general, immodest clothing naturally draws attention to somewhere other than the face. There is no way around the fact that mankind is subject to the laws of nature and nature’s God. Thus I will generally consider the following as factors that inappropriately draw attention away from the face.
• Nudity
• Tight or form-fitting clothing
• Cleavage or midriff
• Sleeveless tops
•The knees visible (kneecaps should be covered at all times).
• Men without shirts
• Sensual postures
• Unnatural hair colors (blue, green, etc.)
• Excessive makeup or excessive jewelry
• Clothing with inappropriate words or graphics
associated with ungodliness

Before the session you'll have to sign a basic contract. Some of the things covered are image copyright,
and model release.

How many people can you do in a family group?

As many as are in your immediate family (one household). Want to do an extended family shoot? Each additional family is $40 additional pay on top of the $125.

What's your turn around time?

You'll get your digital images delivered to you from three to four weeks after your session. Prints will take up to four weeks after ordering.

What kinds of weddings do you shoot?

I specialize in conservative couples who endeavor to honor God with their engagement and wedding. I've chosen to not shoot any weddings that have alcohol, dancing or immodest dress. Because what is "modest" is subjective; before committing to your wedding I'll ask to see images of the bride's and bridesmaid's dresses.
