How do I book?

Fill out a contact form so I can learn more about you, check availability, and set up a consultation over the phone or at my studio. During our chat, I will go over services, pricing, and see if you have any questions I can answer. To book you'll sign a service agreement and pay a non-refundable retainer to reserve a date.
