What aspects of photography do you enjoy most?

I love LOVE and being able to document that love from the engagement, to the wedding and then when the family grows by one (or two sometimes).

How do you define your style?

I would say my style is fun and romantic.  I love candids and those in between moments when my subjects have no idea I’m snapping pictures.

 

Besides loving photography, what other hobbies do you have?

What are you passionate about?  I LOVE animals, if I could I would adopt every single homeless animal and give them the best life.  I really strive to find ways I can use my art to help animals in need find a home.

If you weren’t a photographer what would you be?

If I wasn’t a photographer I would probably be lost.  I knew I wanted to be a photographer since I was 12, so when I went off to college I told my parents that and they were like “ummm, no, we aren’t going to support you forever, you need to get a REAL job.”  So I tried the real job thing and hated it.  Photography has been the only thing in my life that I really feel I was born to do.

 

How did you learn about Forbeyon?

From a fellow photographer and WPPI

What inspired you to use Forbeyon?

I was really impressed with the cover options and quality of pages.  Plus they are not overly expensive, which is key!

Can you tell us about your Forbeyon experiences?

It has always been a positive experience.  Anytime I need help or have crazy questions someone is always so helpful.  When I visited the Forbeyon booth at WPPI I was extremely impressed that the guy in the booth knew who I was and could recall the type of albums I order!

 

How has Forbeyon albums helped your business?

My wedding couples love, love, love their albums!  I am always told that my albums are not like most in my area, just better quality and gorgeous.  My clients get super excited about their Forbeyon albums!

What advice would you give to the first time buyers of Forbeyon albums? 

I highly recommend ordering a few sample albums.  Once you go Forbeyon you’ll never look back!

How would you describe the products you receive from Forbeyon?

I get so excited when I receive my albums!  They are always so beautiful and perfect and I can guarantee my clients are going to get a great album that will last a long time.

How do Forbeyon albums compare to others you've seen or used?

After my first Forbeyon album I received I was in love and ditched my previous album company who would constantly have errors in my layouts and would take 3 months to ship me the album.  When I learned that Forbeyon takes 2-4 weeks I was instantly hooked!

As a photographer, what is your most important objective when shooting?

To capture my subject’s personalities and the love they feel along with the excitement of their day.
