Services
My specialty is in dance and sports photography. I also have experience in portraits for couples, families, and graduation, as well as event photography for parades, concerts, and festivals. I am always looking to grow my versatility as an artist, so if you have a desired photo shoot that you do not see listed on my website, feel free to contact me to discuss your idea.

FAQ
What should I wear to an individual session?
Something you feel confident and comfortable in that pops against the desired venue and/or background.
When can I expect the finished gallery?
Within 1-2 weeks for individual/couples sessions and within 2-3 weeks for group/event sessions. If there is a strict deadline for the gallery, please take that into consideration when booking your session.
Can I reschedule a session?
You must give a 48-hour notice if you need to reschedule, cancel, or want to extend a session from the original time frame planned. If notice is given less than 48-hours, you will be charged a $25 fee. Family or personal emergencies and inclement weather are exceptions.
Can I do a mixed-style dance shoot?
Yes, you can! Please let me know all the styles you are wanting pictures of when scheduling the shoot.
Do you have a photography studio?
Currently, I do not own a photography studio. Fees will range based on location of shoot but are usually around $10-$25 per hour. Most of my previous sessions have been at dance academies located throughout Chicago city limits, at schools, museums, and outdoor locations offering safe zones for dancing.
Do you book sessions outside of Chicago?
Depending on the location, I will conduct photo shoots outside Chicago. Special pricing will be required for these shoots so please reach out to me to discuss your needs so I can create a specialized package for you.
How does payment work?
To book an individual or couples session, you will be sent an invoice for the full amount which will be due by the day of the shoot.
To book an event, group, and/or performance session you will be charged a non-refundable 20% retainer. Once the session takes place, the remaining balance will be charged.
All sales are final and non-refundable unless cancelled by PhotographybyGGC. If the client cancels the session within the given time frame, the paid amount is eligible as a credit for a future session.
I accept credit cards, cash, and checks.
