PORTRAITS
I get it. Choosing a photographer incredibly difficult. You probably have 457 tabs open right now. You're looking at poses, browsing galleries and Instagram and reading reviews. My goal is to make this process simple for you, capture authentic images that aren't copied off of Pinterest, capture moments, highlight personalities, and provide a great experience.
If you're seeking a photographer who not only captures images but creates an experience, I wholeheartedly recommend Jerome.

A LOOK INSIDE
THE PROCESS
Here's an overview of what you can expect working with me. I'm known for a personalized, collaborative approach to capture real, authentic moments.
1. initial Questions
This is usually done with a quick phone call to go over your questions and see if we want to schedule a consultation.
Together, we'll chat about your experiences with past photography sessions, what your wanting, what will make your images unique, my pricing and artwork products.
2. the consultation
3. SESSION planning
If we're a great fit, we'll start planning a session that will provide storytelling images that highlight character and personalities in locations and activities that are authentic and true to who you are.
4. the session
All those ideas we came up with during our planning come into play. I'll capture the moments that happen during the session and we'll get a few traditional portraits too.
5. the reveal
Once I get the images ready to review, we'll schedule a time for you to come in, see what we captured, pick out your favorites, and complete any design work and your order.
6. delivery & installation
Once your album, gift prints, matted fine art prints or cards are ready, they can be picked up at the studio or drop shipped. If you live within 50 miles of the studio, canvases are installed for you.
what makes ME different
I'll capture THE IMAGES YOU'LL COME BACK TO *FOREVER.*
Portraits are visual pieces of recorded history. You want to remember not only the people in the images, but the moments and feelings. You want to have a sense of what it was like to be there with those people. This is why we take our collaboration process seriously. We want the session to be authentic and comfortable. Real life that highlights character and personality and those ever fleeting moments.

Frequently asked questions
HOW DO WE PLAN A SESSION?
Contact me and we'll have a quick chat to answer any initial questions. Then we'll schedule a time to meet in the studio and take a deep dive into your expectations, my process, and plan out a great session.
WHERE CAN WE GO?
We can go anywhere. And I do mean anywhere. I regularly travel to Seattle, Portland, Boise and Missoula for sessions. I also make my way to other states and countries. But if you're from the Coeur d'Alene area, and want to stay local, we can travel within 50 miles of my studio without any additional fees.
WHAT SHOULD WE DO?
What do you like to do? That's the first question. I've worked with families capturing them making breakfast with their kids on Saturday morning. I've been kayaking with couples. Horseback riding, picnics in the park, on a boat, or simply being comfortable at home.
WHAT DOES A SESSION COST?
Sessions are $200 per hour with most portrait session lasting one to two hours. Artwork is purchased separately. My average portrait client budgets about $1,400. Some spend as little as $600 and others spend more with albums, custom cards, canvases, prints, and digital images available for their display needs.
