As a New York City–based architectural photographer, I am drawn to this work because of its focus on craft.  I love designing photographs, but my focus isn’t just making beautiful images—it’s making the process easy for your team.

I prefer a collaborative approach to working with marketing leads, principals, and project teams to plan the shot list, coordinate access and staging, and capture a complete “PR-ready” set: hero images, context, and details—plus the verticals and crops you actually need for web, awards, proposals, and press.

My goal is simple: calm shoot days, consistent results, and photographs that feel as considered as the architecture. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How much time in advance do you need to schedule a photoshoot? 
Two to three weeks on average, but sometimes less, depending on the time of year.

What’s your preferred method of working?
I like to work collaboratively, with you—or someone on your team—involved throughout the process.

Before the shoot, I ask for a client-written shot list. It makes planning the day easier, adds structure, and ensures we capture every image you need.

On shoot day, my assistant and I start with a walk-through. Using the shot list as our guide, I map out the schedule around the available window light and—depending on the season—the number of daylight hours we have to work with.

For each setup, I’ll take a few quick handheld scout shots from different angles and focal lengths. Once we agree on the best composition and camera placement, I’ll tether the camera to a laptop, and we’ll begin photographing the space.

What is the proofing process like? 
I deliver fully retouched images, including blemish removal, lighting, exposure adjustments, exposure blending, color correction, and perspective correction. After delivery, I’m happy to make an additional round of revisions upon request.

What are your payment terms?
A 25% non-refundable shoot reservation fee is required to secure the shoot date. The reservation fee will be credited toward the final invoice.

The remaining balance is due net 30 days from the date of delivery of the final invoice.

What’s the turnaround time for delivery of the photographs?  
Images are delivered within 14 business days of the photoshoot in two formats.

    • High Resolution  20”x30” at 300 dpi

    • Low Resolution  10”x15” at 150 dpi

Images are stored in the cloud, so the client always has access to them.  RAW files are not provided

Do you carry insurance?  

I maintain a General Commercial Liability policy. Certificates of insurance can be provided upon request.
