Photography That Tells Your Story
Starting at $150, no minimum order required.
Your story doesn't have to be perfectly posed to be worth capturing. With a background in photojournalism and a documentary approach, I focus on real moments, natural connection, and the details that make each person, family, or brand unique. The result is timeless, high-quality photography that looks and feels like you.
Sessions include:
- password-protected online gallery, where you can download, share, and order professional prints and products at your convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book? What can I expect after I reach out?
Booking is simple with no spooky steps. Get in touch on the contact page by filling out the form with introductory info and some details about your project. The information you provide in your inquiry will be kept private and only used to draft a quote and service agreement. Once you sign the agreement and pay your non-refundable scheduling retainer, you're officially booked. Yay!
Next, we'll arrange for a mutually beneficial date of service and discuss details such as the location, what to wear, etc.
For website and marketing projects, you'll have some 'homework' such as a short questionnaire to complete and often we'll schedule a short meeting virtually or in-person in order to answer questions. All projects will occasionally need client input, others will require regular collaboration according to your availability.
How much will it cost?
Transparency about pricing is something we're proud of. Ever watch Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman? The way she provided for her client irregardless of their ability to pay was a wholesome inspiration for how we approach payment. For those who have a genuine need and no ability to pay, we're proud to volunteer and accept trade for services.
Do you require a retainer?
To begin a project, a minimum payment of 50% is due as a scheduling retainer. It is non-refundable. The remainder is due within 30 days, unless a payment plan is requested and approved.
What about custom projects?
If you have a unique idea in mind, I'd love to discuss it. I also do infrared photography, iPhone photography, rainbow bridge and end of life memorial sessions, postmortem remembrance photography.
What payment methods do you accept?
A flexible variety of convenient payment options, as well as payment plans with no invasive credit check, interest or application process.
- Cash
- Credit Card
- US Bank ACH, Check
- Affirm, Klarna, and Payment Plans
- PayPal, Venmo, Google Pay
- Trade for Service/Product

How quick is delivery?
Soul Gaze is a small team, but we strive to keep turnaround times as close to industry standards as possible, though this can vary due to project complexity and holidays. We also offer an optional rush delivery fee. If you need a specific delivery date, please inform us in advance and we will either make it happen or will refer you to someone in our professional network.
Photography
- Photo delivery is typically 7-14 business days. Delivery will be longer if extensive editing is required, or if the project has a large volume of images such as large or detailed commercial projects and events such as weddings.
Websites
- Setup, design and development progress depends on the complexity of the project and how quickly the client provides required elements such as logo, photos, graphics and style choices. The fastest turn around is around a week, while the longest can be a few months. Expect collaboration to refine the website, while training to self-maintain, unless you purchase the Ongoing Maintenance add-on.
Marketing
- Print and digital marketing have varied timelines. The fastest is digital delivery, since these deliverables are handled in-house. Delivery of printed items is dependent on the turnaround time of the vendor providing the product.
