Q & A: Why Photography is One of your Best Investments?

Absolutely! Memories stand as the most significant testament to our existence, forming our true legacy. Through photographs, we perpetuate our memories, ensuring they endure far beyond the moment they were captured.

Photographs become the vessels that revive the colors, scents, & smiles of a day's outing, preserving the essence of our experiences in time & space. Creating memories with loved ones is a profound reason to capture those moments through photography. It's a means of immortalizing the shared joy, laughter, & connection that defines our journey through life.

Pre-Plan your Photo Session

Complimentary Consultation

Our photo session begins with a complimentary phone call. We will go over your vision, share a few ideas, and determine if we’re a good fit for what you want to achieve.

Pre-Session Planning

As we delve more into planning, we’ll select the location, look & feel of your image.

Discuss Wardrobe, Props (if applicable), & Hair/Makeup ideas.

Typically my outdoor sessions take place at a beach or forest type of setting, but I am always willing to Try Something New !

What is the best time for a session?

For outdoor sessions, lighting is usually best in the early morning hours, right after sunrise or an hour or two before sunset. The light at that time of day is known as "GOLDEN LIGHT" & can offer a Beautiful & Warm Glow.

Can we include our PET(s) in the Portrait session?

Yes! Your Pet(s) are always welcome at sessions. In-home sessions work pretty well for pets to be included, but outdoor sessions can also work. You know your pets best, so I ask you to take the lead & responsibility.

What happens in the event of rain or extreme weather?

I am constantly watching the Weather Forecast. If it looks like it will rain, we will be in touch via text or email and make a call about whether or not to postpone.

What happens if I need to reschedule?

I am an understanding person, so if there is an accident or unforeseen illness, please reach out, & we will try to reschedule at my earliest available date. If I am too sick to run a session or concerned about spreading germs, I will also let you know. I can try to send a replacement if you'd like, or we can Reschedule.

Do I not own a Studio but I can arrange one for our Session?

I do not have my own studio but I do have availability to Studio (s) in greater San Francisco, San Rafael & in your area too. I do have Mobile Lightening units, along with a large Backdrop (white/gray) that takes 15 minutes to set up. Whether at home or outdoors we are ready to go.

Photo Session Day

We'll meet at our chosen location & have an absolute blast. My goal is to just capture you and your loved ones just being together. I will gently be directing you throughout our time together. It is your day to pamper yourself. I recommend you arrive for the session with hair and makeup done by a professional artist if you have selected that option. We will ensure your wardrobe is in the best shape possible for your photo shoot. During our shoot, we’ll periodically review photos to ensure we’re going in the right direction & show you how amazing our photos are!

Digital Proof Sheet

Within 48 hours after your Session, you will receive a Proof (12 photos) Sheet to review & Sign off on for the final 5+ digital images.

Image Post-Production

I will Edit & Process your Images according to my HIGHEST Standards.

The final Images Are Ready!

I will mail you a memory stick with the final 5+ photos or the agreed number of pictures.
