Searching for someone to take a photo of the grave or cemetery where your loved one is buried? Look no further. I have a passion for cemeteries and the history they present. I've been photographing graves and documenting cemeteries for over seven years now. My travels have brought be around the tri-state area (and some interesting parts of Massachusetts and New Mexico!).
Though I have often found time to eventually take photos of graves requested by people all over the United States, my time has become increasingly compromised. Due to financial restraints, I have been unable to travel and take photos that I know would be very dear to their inquirers. Because of these factors, I have decided to provide the option of paying for photos for a fee.
What you get:
- A LARGE photo of the grave requested (2896X1944)
- Photo of the cemetery's entrance.
- Photo of the landscape around the grave. (Full shot with other graves surrounding.)
-I will photograph 4 stones in the same cemetery if you are requesting more than one person. More than 4- and its $5 per stone.
What you need to provide with your payment:
-First and last name of the interred. The plot number if known (or vicinity. Some cemeteries can be extremely large)
-If it is a private cemetery- instructions for gaining access. (Email me before purchasing if this is known to be on private land and not accessible legally. I love a challenge but do take precautions.)
-If this is a family plot/ known details of the plot that could be helpful for my tripod preparation.
-If the interred was buried before 1945 I must know if the stone is LEGIBLE. I have had a lot of success with hard to find stones- but if the stones are in a neglected cemetery... there is a possibility that your stone is not legible.
Other Details:
If the stone is not legible I will knock $15 dollars off of your payment and provide you only with a photo of the entrance and a few interior shots of the cemetery.

*Please note: If you are unable to find someone to photograph a grave located in the northeast- a roadtrip can be scheduled for a fee.
