In-Office Days

I am in my office to respond to emails and inquires most weeks, Tuesday - Friday. Time off might affect this, but it will be communicated on my contact page and instagram if it's longer than 2 days.

Shooting Season

My shooting season (when I shoot sessions and weddings) is from January - November. I take the month of December off from shooting as this is my time to primarily spend with my family. I also take limited bookings in January to ensure I have time to I evaluate last year, get some extra rest, prep for the current year and put together information for the following year.

"Busy Season"

You might have heard this term said by most photographers. This refers to the time of the year photographers (and wedding venues/vendors) typically have lots of work/bookings. This is a trend we see and can predict, but it varies from where we are located. Typically my, and Michigan's, "busy season" is every May - December, with spring, late-summer and fall being the most sought-after booking times.

Session Days

I am available for sessions on Sunday, and Tuesday - Saturday. We can shoot at a variety of times on those days; from sunrise-sunset.

Weddings

I am available for weddings/elopements any day of the week except Mondays. I start booking weddings, micro-weddings and elopements at most, 18 months out from the date of your event. (For 2024 weddings, please see my 2024 Weddings page for important availability information!)

Time Off

Mondays are my only consistent day off; I will be out of my office and not available for sessions or responding to emails.

Because of the nature of this job, I am available most times and days throughout the year, making time off a little tricky. I aim to take 1-2 days off every week, so this might affect my response time on some weeks. I also aim to take some vacation time throughout the year. This will also be communicated on my contact page and in an auto-response email.
