Well this one is quite simple, it's either the first two or last two hours of daylight when the sun is lower in the sky and you get a more warm light. I am also able to backlight my subjects better to give that beautiful halo effect in their hair.

Well that depends upon if we are talking portraits or a wedding. For portraits, I would say a week or two out. For weddings, it depends on the season. I am only booking one wedding per month at this time so it would be safe to book about six months or more in advance.

I always tell folks that using a cheap, one hour lab is like buying a filet mignon steak and cooking it in the microwave. You've spent your money on a good photographer, now spend a few pennies more to have your portraits printed by a professional lab that uses archive quality materials and is as concerned about skin tones as I am. My favorite online lab is Printique, and they are one of the few that cater to the public. You can also use them to create announcements and albums.

If you would have asked me that pre-Covid, I would have said "absolutely!" But unfortunately, 2020 cancelled all my weddings, events and portrait sessions for most of the year. I decided to get a full-time job and I have a great schedule where I get off work at 4pm and home by 4:15pm. That means I can still do sessions after work during Daylight Savings Hour and of course on the weekends. Will I ever go back to being a full-time photographer? Probably not, since I love having benefits and having this job allows me to keep my prices down.

I love meeting folks and answering any questions they might have. I most certainly do wedding consultations but most of the time, consultations for portrait sessions can be done over the phone. But if you still would like to come to my home studio, I am happy to meet with you.
