Portfolio Building Sessions

Hello there, friends! Just recently, I began a year long documentary photography mentorship. This mentorship is a deep dive into both the business side and the creative side of my work, with an emphasis on uncovering my own vulnerabilities, so that I can show up more honestly for you, your family, and myself.

Each month I will be completing “portfolio building” sessions to work on specific assignments. And this is where you come in. I need clients for this who are willing to throw some trust my way and go along with me for the ride.

I don’t know what the assignments will actually be until the month is upon me. But I do know that the sessions will be 100% documentary in nature, a minimum of three hours (possibly longer depending on the assignment), and of the vacation variety. I will be taking one each month, and my goal is to try to fill my calendar now for the entire year (August 2025 - June 2026).

There will be a minimal session fee (significantly less than my normal rates), and you’ll receive high resolution digital files from the session. This offer is open to anyone. Former clients. Future clients. Friends. Acquaintances. Long time lurkers. Locals. Anyone with an open mind and curiosity for the magic of documentary photography. I’m looking for all types of vacations (theme parks, beaches, area attractions, day trips, etc).

So, if you’re interested and have some fun plans between now and June 2026, please reach out to me via direct message on Instagram or send me a quick email. Please include the month you have in mind and what type of activity you are considering.
