What it's like to
work with me.

From your first message to your final gallery — here's everything you need to know before you reach out.

A full-service experience,
start to finish.

I don't just show up, click, and leave. Every session is a collaboration — and it starts long before we pick up a camera. Here's how it works:

01

WE CONNECT

We start with a relaxed consultation by phone, where I get to know you, your family, and what matters most to capture. No pressure, just a real conversation. I want to understand your story, and, most importantly, I want you to feel you can trust me before you book me. When you’re ready to book, a non-refundable retainer fee and a signed contract will secure your session.

03

WE HAVE FUN

Session day is relaxed, playful, and real. I blend gentle direction with genuine moments — so you look your best without feeling stiff or posed. Kids especially — I know how to bring out the real them, not a performance of them.

02

WE PLAN TOGETHER

Let the fun begin! Another phone consultation to discuss creative ideas, locations, wardrobe, timing, lighting, all the details — I guide you through every decision so nothing feels overwhelming. I'll share specific suggestions tailored to your family or brand, and we'll land on a plan that feels completely like you.

04

YOU RECEIVE

Your hand-edited gallery arrives within 2–3 weeks, delivered through a private online gallery. Every image is carefully selected and artistically edited to feel timeless — ready to print, frame, share, and keep for generations!

Investment

I offer a limited number of sessions each month so that every client gets my full attention. Sessions include professional editing, a private online gallery, and ongoing support throughout the whole process.

PLAN YOUR SESSION

Your Questions, Answered

  • I typically book 4–6 weeks in advance, especially in the fall, my busiest season. For the holiday weekend, spots fill even faster. Reach out early, and we'll find a date that works.

  • The short answer is: wear what makes you feel like you! Coordinated doesn't mean matching. I'll help you pull it all together so everyone looks cohesive and comfortable.

  • This comes up a lot — and honestly, it's one of my favorite challenges. I've been working with kids for years, and I know how to meet them where they are. We move at their pace, we play, we don't force smiles. The real moments are always the best ones anyway. I’m totally fine with kids crying, tantruming, being too goofy… It’s just all cute to me! And parents, please DO NOT feel bad for me if your kids act up. I LOVE it! lol

  • Your gallery will be ready within 2–3 weeks (might be longer during the busy season) after your session. You'll receive a private link to view, download, and share your images. Rush delivery is available if you need your photos sooner.

  • Yes!! And I really REALLY encourage it. A photo that only lives on a phone isn't really living. I offer professional print products, wall art, and heirloom albums through my online gallery shop that you can access. I'll help you order products if you want me to. Having your physical prints on your wall means a lot to me!

  • Anywhere that feels meaningful to you — a favorite park, your backyard, your home(my favorite location!), a neighborhood you love. I shoot all over the greater Los Angeles area and can suggest locations based on your style and the light we're chasing.
