Q: How would you describe your style?

A: I love genuine images that are filled with emotion. I love vibrant colors and warm sunshine. I seek out authentic moments that make me FEEL something. Most photos begin with being lightly posed, meaning I’ll help get you into place first, and then encourage interaction and real expressions while we’re snapping away.

 

My work is most often categorized as lifestyle photography.

 

Q: How do I schedule a session?

A: You can book by clicking HERE. For bookings, I take a $100 deposit which can be paid through Venmo, credit card, or a hand-delivered check. I shoot by appointment only. A few weeks' notice is usually enough to book.

 

Q: Where are the pictures taken?

A: I shoot on-location around the Bay Area, either outdoors or in my clients’ homes. Travel is included for locations within the Bay Area.

 

Q: How long will the shoot take?

A: It depends on the session.
Family & Babies Sessions take about 1 hour

Maternity Sessions Sessions take about 1 hour

Newborn Sessions take about 3 hours

Engagement Sessions take about 1 hour

Wedding Event Days vary upon the package selected. See Wedding FAQs below for additional timing information. 

 

Q: How many photos will I get?

A: You select how many pictures you want. Most Clients order 10-15 High-Resolution Digital Images. 

 

Q: What should I wear?

A: I recommend wearing items you feel the most comfortable and confident in. Bring at least a couple of extra outfits, if you’re uncertain and want some support from me in the selection of what will work best in our location. Then together we’ll pick out what works best for the shoot. Avoid graphics, as well as, neon colors that detract from your face. If there are multiple people in the shoot, I recommend wearing similar tones and styles, but try to steer clear of identical outfits.

 

Q: When do I get to see the proofs?

A: We will schedule an in person or ZOOM Photo Viewing Appointment with the gallery of 50-80 individually edited images in digital format within two weeks of your session! 

 

Q: When do I get my finished pictures?   

A: Finished images chosen during an In-person or Zoom Photo Viewing Appointment will be emailed via a hightail link within 2 days, depending on the number of images ordered. If you need them sooner, let me know and I can often accommodate your needs.

 

Q: Do you touch up all the images in our image download?

A:Yes, I do. Every image we deliver is post-produced with our unique signature style of post-production. This involves color correction, exposure adjustment, selective black and white processing, clarity adjustments, tone-mapping, and other corrections. 

​

Q: Do you shoot in JPEG, Small Raw, or Large Raw?

A: I shoot my images in Large Raw.

​

Q: Do I get the copyright to my photos?

A: I include a print release when I deliver the digital images.
