Fantasy Photography

Meet the artist

Hi, I’m TK!

I’m a traveling photography artist located in the base of the Appalachians, out of TN. For the past 10 years I specialized in Boudoir photography and before that was a photographer at Disney, shooting fairytales in the parks. Now, I’m pleased to announce I am now specializing in Fantasy Photography!

With the state of the world right now I feel myself being drawn more and more to create Fantasies and to create more Art. So, if you’re wanting something special for your next portrait session, I am the Artist for you!

Whether it be Family Photography, senior portraits, child photography, boudoir, even styled wedding shoots. I now am shooting them all, just under the lens of Fantasy.

So, instead of a regular family portrait session, what if it were a Viking family, reuniting after their father has been away a-Viking….

Or what if your kiddo’s favorite toy were real and they went off to play together. I love capturing those types of sessions…

Do you have a fantasy of being a Burlesque dancer at the Moulin Rouge? I can totally help you out there…

Or a fantasy that you and your Partner(s) are in the world of Outlander? I have the Perfect spot for your session!

Or what if you and your friends wanted to get together and become some mermaids for the day….

Or, are you a cosplayer or creative who wants to photograph their work and/or character? I am the Perfect artist for you!

What if you want a fairytale redo of your wedding in photoshoot form? Heck yes, I do that!

That’s the kind of photography I love. So, if you’re wanting something a little Whimsical and Magical for your Photography session, let’s talk!

Common Questions

Where do I have my session?

Your Session can either be on-location, in your own home, or at my Home Studio. Currently for 2024, During the Spring, Summer, and early Fall, sessions at the Studio will be held in the Solarium and/or the Garden & Greenhouse. During Late Fall and winter the Butterfly Room will be open with limited availability.

What do I wear for my session?

Each of my sessions include a Complimentary Style Consult, so we can discuss the theme and story of your session, location, and what you can wear. In a former life, I was actually a professional Costume Designer, so I have a lot of items in my Client Closet, and I can also make a custom piece for you! You just have to inquire, and I can give you a quote to add on to your Session.

I also have a plethora of Pinterest Boards that you can go through and get inspired for the style of clothing and type of session you’d like!

How do I book?

Go up above to Inquire Here and shoot me an email. Once we go through your ideas and come up with a base idea for your fantasy photoshoot, I can give you an estimate for the time. Most general photoshoots average 2 hours. Though, we can definitely have an elaborate all day shoot if you want to!
That estimate for your Session fee is due at time of booking (or 35% of your full Collection). This books your date (I don’t schedule more than one shoot per day) and starts the whole process rolling. As about our Payment Plans! Once the Session is fully boked, we’ll schedule your session and Style Consult, and I start to work creating your fantasy!
After your session date, you’ll receive a few sneak peak(s) from me, but your actual full Reveal Session will be scheduled 3-4 weeks after your session. This is where you’ll see all your edited portraits and pick which ones you’d like to invest in and how!

*if your session requires heavier fantasy editing, 1-2 portraits out of each set may be fully edited, before you choose which ones you’d actually like and want to invest in.

How Much does it Cost?

Since every session is different, I offer an hourly rate for my sessions. My Fantasy sessions are $200 per hour. This includes the hour(s) shooting, as well as the extensive editing time needed to complete your Fantasy portraits. All digitals (minus sneak peak(s), physical products, and usage rights are sold separately and not included in the session fee.

Then 3-4 weeks after your photoshoot, we’ll schedule your Reveal session where you’ll be able to see your portraits and choose which you’d like to invest in. Either as digitals and printing rights or ordering your products directly from me and my professional print labs. Inquire below for my full prices for products & digital portraits. On average my clients spend $1500-2,000, but you can have your own full Fantasy Photoshoot for as little as $220 (a 1-hour session and 1-4x6 print) or as crazily bougie as a $6k+ photoshoot (I used to work for Disney Weddings, so I can go all out lol). When you inquire with me, you’ll receive the link to my full pricing list and I can walk you through everything during a complimentary pre-session consult, if you’d like one.

I understand that investing in art for yourself is a luxury. But I want everyone to be able to invest in themselves and become the subject of their very own works of art. So, if you find this experience to be a bit out of your budget, please ask me about my payment plan options and the discounts I offer for clients wanting to sign a full model/commercial release!
