FREQUENTLY ASKED
DO YOU TRAVEL?
02
Yes, I love photographing in new places! I'm based in Thayer County, Nebraska but often travel all across Nebraska and Kansas. Most travel costs are already included in session packages, but if you're planning something farther off the beaten path, drop me a pin to the location you have in mind and I’ll provide a custom quote if any additional travel fees are necessary.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK?
04
I recommend choosing your photographer during January - March of your junior year. This may seem early to be planning your senior photos but photographers summer + fall calendars book up fast! It's best to choose your photographer & get a deposit paid to secure your spot.
We can pick a date on the calendar and plan all the details at a later date when you're ready to start planning!
