Q: What kinds of things do you take pictures of?
A: I like to take photographs in a way that will tell a story. I will get images of family members and friends interacting; an overview of the funeral/memorial service including singers or speakers; details such as the program, memory table items, flowers, and food; and any groupings of people if desired.


Q: How many pictures do we receive?
A: Depending on the length of the service, typically you’ll receive between 50-150+ digital images. With the Glass Keepsake Box, all of those images will be printed in 5x7 format and placed in the box. If you choose the Heirloom Album, you’ll still receive the same amount of digital files, but I will design the album to include 25-30 of them.

Q: How do you conduct yourself on the day of the funeral?
A: My goal is to blend into the background as much as possible so that family members and guests are not distracted by my presence. I have long zoom lenses so that I am able to take beautiful photographs from a distance and a silent camera so you won’t hear any clicking sounds during the service. I will dress in a conservative manner and will act professionally and courteously at all times.


Q: What is the process for hiring you?
A: The first thing to do would be for you, a key family member, or the funeral director to contact me to check my availability. I will spend some time talking with you about your loved one and the plans for the service. We will share ideas on how to photograph the day and I will send you an email recap of our conversation. If you choose to hire me, I can take a credit card payment over the phone or send you an invoice electronically for the amount (plus local sales tax). The date is not reserved for you until I receive the full payment.

Q: How long will it take to receive my images and album?
A: Within 10 business days of the service, I will send you an online gallery and a digital first draft of the album design. After we make any desired changes, I will send the design to be professionally printed at my lab, and it will arrive to you within three weeks.

Q: What I have questions and want to talk to you before I reserve the date?
A: Please call me. I would love to talk to you about your questions or concerns.
