02 / BEHIND THE CAMERA

Tampa is home.
Photography has taken me places.

Hey, I’m Chasen—a lifelong Tampa native, a photographer since 17, and now, at 33, diving back into the career I love.

My work has been featured in publications including Architectural Digest. Behind the camera, I’ve traveled internationally to cover large group events in England, Germany, Italy, Guatemala, and beyond.

Through portraits, weddings, street photography, and events, I’ve always been drawn to people and the stories around them. My approach is shaped by the people, the setting, and the story we’re there to tell.

Today, I’m returning with renewed passion, upgraded equipment, and fresh creative energy—bringing that experience home to Tampa and the surrounding areas. Whether it’s a portrait, time with your partner, or the whole family together, I want you to feel comfortable being yourself. Everyone is welcome here.

BEFORE YOUR SESSION

A few things
you might be wondering.

When will I receive my photos?

Your edited photos will be delivered within 10 days of your session. Need them sooner? Priority editing may be available for an additional fee. Let me know your deadline when you inquire, and I’ll confirm availability, timing, and the fee before you book.

Can I choose the location?

Absolutely. I love photographing people in places that mean something to them. Bring me your idea, and we’ll make sure there’s usable light and that photography is allowed, with any necessary permission arranged beforehand.

If you’re not sure where to go, I have a handful of favorite locations and can help you choose one that suits your style and the light.

How do I reserve a session?

A 50% booking payment reserves your date and goes toward your session total. We’ll confirm your session details and review the booking terms before you pay.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Plans change—I understand. You can move your session once at no extra charge with at least 48 hours’ notice, and your booking payment moves with it.

Cancel at least 14 days before your session for a full refund. With less notice, the 50% booking payment is retained to cover the reserved time; any additional session payments are refunded. With less than 48 hours’ notice to reschedule, or a no-show, a new booking payment is needed. If you’re dealing with illness or an emergency, please reach out so we can discuss your situation.

A few details about changing dates

Please contact me by email or text. We’ll agree on a replacement date within 14 days, with the session taking place within 90 days, subject to availability. If my availability causes a delay, I’ll extend that window. The complimentary change is available once; further client-requested changes require a new booking payment. Moving a date does not restore refund eligibility once the original 14-day cancellation cutoff has passed.

What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?

If I determine that weather or conditions prevent us from shooting safely or getting usable photos, we’ll reschedule at no charge. That won’t count as your one date change. If I need to cancel and we can’t agree on a replacement date, you’ll receive a full refund.

How will my photos be delivered?

You’ll receive a Google Drive folder with your edited photos. The folder stays available for 30 days after delivery, and you can download your photos as many times as you like during that time. Please save and back up your files before the link expires.

What if I receive fewer than the guaranteed minimum?

Your session’s minimum image count is guaranteed: 5 edited photos for a Mini Session and 15 for a Portrait & Family Session, including larger groups. If I don’t deliver that minimum for any reason, you’ll receive a full refund of your session fee, including your booking payment.

Will I receive more than the minimum number of photos?

The Mini Session guarantees at least 5 edited images, and the Portrait & Family Session guarantees at least 15. Those are the absolute minimums, not a limit: sessions typically produce more finished images. The final number depends on the session and the photographs that meet my quality standards.
