COVID-Conscious photographer
for COVID-conscious folks

 



Masking with a high quality respirator (N95/KN95) for all shoots has been my policy since the start of the pandemic.


There are absolutely no plans of that stopping anytime soon!


Continuing to protect you and your loved ones while photographing your big & small moments is a top priority.


Gone are the days of dreading a lengthy conversation about masking up for your photo session or event!


If I'm there, I'm masked.

 

I'm happy to talk specifics on mitigations once we connect.
