Photography Rates
*Important* I shoot outside only. I can do headshots, nature shoots, family shoots, fat love, couple shoots, maternity, newborn, queer porn, you and your dog, sw shoots, underwater shoots, podded group shoots, nude shoots. Anything you can think of, I can take pictures of it. I do not photograph white ppl w dreads, culturally appropriative clothing or tattoos. I love taking pics of fatties but I am open to ALL body types!
* I do not do event photography typically, because of mobility issues. However, if there is an event where I can sit down somewhere and direct people in front of me, there is a possibility it could work. Cost of travel will have to be included in my fee. Contact me to get rates or book your shoot: Shoogmcd@gmail.com

Non-refundable deposit of 150 due upon booking, the rest due day of the shoot.
For BIPOC (Black and Indiginious people of color) I use a sliding scale starting at 0.
You will have at least 60 unedited photos emailed to you within a few days.
ON THE ROAD
When I go on tour, I generally make stops in bigger cities. Watch my Instagram stories and highlights for updates on tours. I like to find secluded forested spots that are accessible by car, but nature-heavy backyards often work very well. I also occasionally find a pool to shoot in. I then typically schedule multiple shoots in one day at whatever location I have found.
On Land (approx 30 min) 200
Underwater (approx 30 min) 350
Non-refundable deposit of 100 due upon booking, the rest due day of the shoot.

Intro and slide show of my work
Talk about my book Queers in Nature, and Bodies like Oceans Zine
30 min
Participants pair up, and are given this prompt: Pretend you are going to be in a book or zine, how would you like to be portrayed? Take this as an opportunity to create a photo using your phone, with the help of your partner- to reveal something about yourself that you want others to know about you. Everyone harbors places in their personality they don’t let come to light in every day interactions. People can use and share props, think about lighting, location, facial expression, angles, colors, etc. During this exercise I will come around and assist with direction, help brainstorm ideas and give suggestions.
45 min
Participants will then look over the photos they have created and write a few paragraphs, using some prompts I will have projected, about the images. Optional: If there is time, people can email me their favorite photo and we can project it, if there is wifi available. They can then choose to read their corresponding writing if they wish.
