AVAILABILITY
Thank you for viewing my availability calendar! I typically do not book more than two sessions per week so I may prioritize time with my family in the evenings, have flexibility for rescheduling needs, and so I have ample time to edit each session in a timely manner. Please scan the calendar for the blue blocks of available dates.
​
Note: The calendar is subject to change. Dates are not reserved until the session is confirmed with a paid retainer.
WHAT IS THE BEST TIME OF YEAR FOR PHOTOS IN OUR AREA?
Use the following information to determine which day and location will fit best for your photography needs! I offer reschedules for inclement weather in cases of winds above 17mph, temperatures below 50°, extreme cloud cover resulting in a lack of sunlight, rain, and extreme heat advisories. Since I take pictures in open shaded areas, it will feel cooler than the actual temperature in direct sunlight.
