Personal Sessions

Every Session Begins Here

Share a little about what you have in mind. I'll personally review your request and reach out within one business day.

Begin Your Session

A Conversation, Not a Transaction

This isn't automated booking — it's a personal process. I read every inquiry myself and take the time to understand what you're looking for before we ever confirm a date. There's no obligation at this stage. Just tell me what you have in mind.

I'll personally review every request — no automated responses, no queues. You'll hear from me directly within one business day.

The Process

How We Work

No automated booking. No guesswork. Every session follows the same straightforward sequence.

The look is decided at prep. Bring a board if you have one.

  1. 01

    You write.

    A short note is enough — what you have in mind, who or what you want photographed, and roughly when. No form required beyond what's above.

  2. 02

    TJ replies within one business day.

    Availability, a straight answer on whether it's a good fit, and any questions I have. No sales pitch.

  3. 03

    A conversation, not a pitch.

    We talk through the session — location, timing, what matters to you. This is where the work actually starts.

  4. 04

    A retainer holds the date.

    Once we're aligned, a small retainer secures your spot on the calendar. The calendar is kept intentionally light.

  5. 05

    The session. We come to you.

    On-location, wherever makes sense — your home, a park, a waterfront, a venue. I handle the rest.

  6. 06

    A private gallery.

    Delivered through a secure Pixieset gallery within the agreed turnaround window. Yours to download, share, or keep.

  7. 07

    Archive and print.

    The files are yours. Heirloom prints and albums are available if you want them — lustre, metal, canvas, framed, and more through the print shop.
