Your love story starts here
You're in good hands
My promise to you is that I won't just show up and hope for good photos. You won't spend the whole session wondering how to stand or what to do with your hands. I'll guide you, so you can stop thinking and start feeling like your best self.
This is the same energy I bring to everything else, including pricing. No guessing games, no hidden fees, no pressure. Just a clear look at what working together looks like, so you can make the decision that's right for you.
Hey, it's lj!
I have always been a storyteller. Growing up, I would write my own skits, plays, and short stories myself and dreamed of having my own film studio. I still have a passion for writing and acting, but my love for stories is really what drew me to photography. I love knowing the reason behind the colors you chose for your session, where these photos will end up in the home, and the family traditions that you all have.
It's all important, because it's all you.
"I would never consider myself model material because I always feel awkward in front of the camera, but LJ made me feel confident and comfortable. My favorite photo he took is of me smiling my raw, natural, unposed smile. And I think that's saying a lot of his ability to create and capture genuine and authentic moments. He will definitely always be my first choice for a photographer."

FAQ
Can we customize a collection?
Each collection has been tailored specifically for different needs, however you are able to add on any items to the base collections!
How far in advance should we book?
Because dates go by quickly, I would suggest booking me 2 to 4 months in advance!
How long does it take to get our photos?
After your session, you will be given a gallery of the unedited photos for you to select which photos you'd like edited. Expect that within 24 hours. Full galleries will be sent 3 weeks from the day you make your selections. All images will be delivered online in a private gallery directly to you. (Don't worry, you'll get previews as well!)
Do you offer albums or prints?
Yes to all of the above. You will receive in your final online gallery your digital images, but I also have a print store where you can order any and all of your printed art work.
