Portrait sessions.

I shoot outdoor portraits across the San Francisco Bay Area, with an optional studio at an extra charge. Every session starts with a concept, and I guide you through styling and posing, so no experience in front of the camera is needed.

Questions

Before you book.

Where does the shoot take place?

Sessions are held in the San Francisco Bay Area, either at an outdoor location or in a professional studio. I'll help you choose the best option based on your vision and the lighting conditions. Studio rental is not included in the price and is paid separately.

What's not included in the price?

Studio rental, stylist and makeup artist are not included and are paid separately. Studio rental is around $120/hour. I'm happy to help you arrange any of these.

How does the photoshoot process work?

I guide you through the entire session, from posing to natural movement, so you don't need any prior experience. My goal is to make you feel relaxed and confident in front of the camera.

How does photo selection work?

After your session, you'll receive a gallery of all RAW, unedited photos, which you can download if you wish. Then you select your favorites for editing: some receive color correction, others are fully retouched. The Intro Session includes 3 retouched and 10 color-corrected photos, the Essential Session 6 and 20, the Signature Session 10 and 30. Additional retouched photos are $15 per image.

Do I get the unedited photos too?

The unedited photos in your gallery are for personal use only. Please don't post them online or share them publicly before editing. Only the retouched and color-corrected photos are final.

Can my photos be shared online?

By booking, you agree that I may edit your photos and share selected images in my portfolio, website and social media. If you'd prefer your photos not be published, please let me know before the session.

How long does it take to receive the final photos?

Final edited photos are delivered within 7–10 days after your selection.

What should I wear?

Outfit guidance is included. I'll help you choose looks that match your style and photograph beautifully, so you feel confident and comfortable.

What if I need to reschedule?

Rescheduling is possible with advance notice, usually 24 hours. The deposit can be transferred to a new date once.

Why is the deposit non-refundable?

The deposit ($50 for the Intro Session and $100 for the Essential and Signature sessions) secures your time slot and covers preparation time, including planning, location scouting and styling guidance. This ensures commitment on both sides.
