Photography is Poetry

"Changing direction in life is not tragic. Losing passion in life is." - Max Lucado

This quote couldn't be a better answer to this question. I've always had a hard time putting anything I do into one category and giving it a name or label. As I go through phases in life, my photography and style does too. I do strive to keep a timeless look to all of my images and avoid trends but I am never afraid to try new things.

I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with an emphasis in photography. I learned black and white film photography in college and spent a lot of time in a darkroom or learning about art. After college I expanded into the digital world.

I have been in the wedding & portrait photography industry for 10+ years.

Studio Llotus is an ongoing, ever changing and growing project that was started around 2015. It's a huge part of me. I am always working to better the business for the future and sometimes I don't even know what that may bring.

I'm a nostalgic person. I had a grandfather that although we never met, I am reminded that I am very similar to him. His name was "Lloyd". I value staying grounded and true to my roots and wanted to keep his spirit alive using the double L.

Absolutely.
Any distance.

I offer discounts on my 'bucket list' locations!

It depends on the season and I prefer not to put an exact time frame on any of my galleries.

As a rough guesstimate - engagements + family + portrait galleries take around 6 weeks. Weddings + elopements can take 12-14 weeks.

Some seasons of life are busier than others. Trust me, I would never rush through the editing process and I keep clients up to date with how their gallery is coming along.

After your photographs have been thoroughly reviewed, processed and edited, they will be uploaded into an online gallery. You will receive a link to create a password to keep your photos safe. You can share this link with family, friends, and anyone you want to be able to view and purchase photos/prints. Your gallery is linked to an online store. I always suggest ordering larger prints/albums through Studio Llotus, as your prints are color calibrated with your gallery and my editing.

Tangible products are important to me and I try to keep my prices so that it is reasonable for any and all family/friends to purchase.

Your gallery is also available for download with printing rights.
