In my beginning days, I remember carrying around those little point & shoot cameras...my favorite one was a hot pink Nikon. I could ALWAYS be found snapping photos, no matter where we went or what it was that we did!
That brings me to today...
I never really thought about being a photographer. I had a really nice DSLR camera & some idea of how to use it. I also had a passion for capturing forever memories.
Some friends of mine were getting married & they needed engagement photos taken. The bride came to me & asked if I would be interested in doing that for them...of course I said yes! After seeing the results, I decided to take it a step further & begin offering reasonably priced photography for those who would like pictures done, but simply cannot afford the super high professional prices. That first session has turned into a full fledge photography side business!
Photography is not a bread & butter business for me... I take & edit photos simply because I enjoy it, on the side of my "real job". I do sessions in the evenings & on the weekends, & occasionally, I will do weekday day sessions with enough notice.
There truly is nothing better than bringing a smile to someone's face & then capturing that very moment...it truly is priceless.
To date, I've done surprise engagements, weddings, family photos, engagement photo sessions, gender reveals, headshots, baby announcements, births, Fresh 48's, Christmas card photos, real estate images, anniversary parties, Christmas parties & oh - so much more! I'm willing to try anything if you will allow me to!
The approach we take when photographing any event, be it family photos or a big, beautiful wedding is a personal one. No two events are the same, and we certainly don't treat it that way.
Your session or event should be fun. You should walk away feeling like you enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to receiving your images. Especially the fellas and the littles...they are the least likely to enjoy having their photos taken; I try to make it a fun and memorable experience.
These include family sessions, high school seniors, baby/ 1 year old & adult cake smash sessions, kindergarten photos, headshots & single sessions.

HNJ Photographs provides an online gallery to download your images from your session.
We also offer the option to print your images directly from your gallery. These are our favorite & highest quality printer partners that we have always recommended, now the process has just been made much easier for you. These companies are the very best that you can use...your images will print in the highest quality, unlike when printing at local options such as Walgreens or Walmart, which tend to manipulate the pixels & the colors of your image.
*It is important to note that though you have the option to print from your gallery, we do not require it. You do have the choice to use a printer of your choice.
Most often, there are sessions scheduled after yours. If you are late, the session behind you will then be late too, and so on, and so on. If you arrive late, I will only give you the remaining time in your session. If you are doing a full session but show up late, you will only get what time is left in that session, but you will still be charged the original session fee. Everyone's schedule is equally important to me, I want to make sure you get your time in for your photos, but I can only do this if you arrive on time. Please respect the time of not only your photographer, but also the other clients before and after you.
Payment is due in full at the photo session.
I accept cash, checks or credit/debit cards. If you are doing a group photo session with multiple families, please have your money collected from everyone before your session. I am usually going from one session to the next, I want to give all my clients the same time & session love that I give you...trying to collect from multiple parties will take time away from someone else. I accept Venmo, debit or credit cards to make things easy! There are no exceptions to this.
Editing time varies for me.
I do not do photography for a living...this is just a fun "extra" for me. I have a full-time job as well, so sometimes it may take me a little bit to get your edits to you. I promise I edit photos in every spare moment that I have, but it's just that...in my spare time. I can usually work around the "I need them immediately" but there's no set schedule on how long it will take me. General rule of thumb, for a "grand session, = roughly 3-ish weeks! Please remember, I am a photographer 2nd, my family will ALWAYS come first.
Please let me know ahead of time if you have a theme or if you are using props.
I absolutely want to do my very best for you, but in order to do so, I need to know in advance if you are doing a special theme, if you are using props, etc. That way, I can better plan for you as well!
Pets are totally welcome, just please let me know before your session!
I have worked with several pooches & totally don't mind! Just please let me know ahead of time so that we can better plan options for locations and poses.
I am super easy to work with, I just like to be organized & prepared!
I want your photo session to be everything you expect it will be. If you have scoured over Pinterest for umpteenth hours and have some session ideas, send them my way BEFORE YOUR SESSION! It will be much easier for me if I get them a few days before your session, not right before I take your first photo!
All of my photography is copyrighted. You will receive your online gallery or USB drive if purchased, but I will not release my original images SOOC. So sorry! Again, this is non-negotiable - PERIOD!
I will not photograph rude, crude, obscene or illegal things! PERIOD!
I almost feel like this should go without saying but just in case, I'm going to say it anyway. I am not in the business of photographing inappropriate things...I just won't do it. I try to keep it a little classy and above all, legal! I am just a rule following photographer.
When booking a session, there is a deposit required to save your session, as well as a required booking form to be filled out. Please see "Photography Investment" for more information".
We fully understand that things just happen...often times it is basically out of our control. I do REQUIRE at least 24 hour's notice of cancellation. If you fail to call & cancel & then fail to show for your session, you will be assed the full fee of your specified session!
I'm not in the business of being a real pain in the toosh, just please know that this is to be fair to all & keep the schedule moving. The wait list for appointments "right now" is growing & I can only fill those spots if I know you aren't going to be able to make it!
