What made you decide I was the photographer to work with to do your Glam the Dress session?
Its obvious to me that you love doing what you do! The connection you have with your clients shows through in your images. I felt very comfortable with the decision of having you photograph me because you show confidence in your photography and how you work with the women you photograph.

What was your favorite part out of the entire experience? The planning, the session, the reveal?
Although my session was not the “whole experience,” my entire experience was wonderful! My favorite part was the session! I was surprised at how comfortable I felt while I was being posed and photographed. It was really fun to start to feel a connection with the camera and photographer.
