2026 Edit: Concerts and similar live events will be the only free shoots I offer going forward. Rates start at $45 and go up based on complexity, location, materials, time, editing requirements, etc. A price will be agreed upon at booking and a 25% deposit will be required to finalize the appointment. Please DM me with any questions as an updated graphic is in the works. Thank you.

If you are in a band or represent one and would like media coverage, reach out via DM!

📸 Need photos? Let’s shoot 🖤

I’m officially booking!! Concerts, portraits, events, nature, or whatever weird/beautiful experimental thing you’ve been dreaming up.

I’m based in Reno, Nevada but always down to travel (Tahoe & Sac are easiest, Bay Area, Portland, Las Vegas: hit me up too)🛫💓

Whether you’re in a band, need creative portraits, want photos of you and your bestie, or just wanna trade a shoot for some cool handmade stuff n help build my portfolio, I’m here for it ALL.

DM me w/ any questions or for booking inquiries 💓Let’s create something you’ll never forget !!! ✨📸🎞️

WHAT TYPE OF SHOOTS DO YOU WANT TO SEE MOST FROM ME?? 🙂‍↕️🖤 Graphic flyer for booking photography services. Background features a live concert scene with a green-toned electric guitar and amplifier. Center text reads “Need photos? CURRENTLY BOOKING” in bold white serif font. Overlaid are four Polaroid-style images labeled: “Concerts & Shows” (woman singing onstage), “Portraits” (person with blue hair in a deep v-neck top), “Events” (two women smiling at an outdoor gathering), and “Nature” (an owl statue in a cactus garden). Glitter, butterflies, and sparkles decorate the design. A lace heart at the bottom says “Weird & Experimental Projects Welcome!” Branding at bottom corner: @craftingxx.
