What types of photography do you specialize in?

I specialize in family, branding and portrait, event, and property photography. Each genre allows me to tell a unique story—whether it’s capturing heartfelt family moments, empowering professionals through strong imagery, documenting community events, or showcasing properties with attention to every detail.

How do I book a session with you?

Booking a session is simple! We begin with a phone call or email to discuss your vision, preferred date, and location. Once we confirm your details, a signed contract and non-refundable retainer are due within 48 hours to secure your session on my calendar.

How far in advance should I book?

To ensure your ideal date, I recommend booking as early as possible—especially during fall family season and spring branding months, which fill quickly. Feel free to reach out anytime to check my current availability.

What should we wear for our session?

I offer wardrobe guidance for every session and include a detailed Prep Guide with outfit inspiration. I love helping clients choose colors and styles that photograph beautifully and feel natural to them.

How long do sessions typically last?

Session lengths vary depending on the type—most family and branding sessions last about an hour, while mini sessions are about 15 minutes. Events and property sessions are booked hourly.

What happens after I book?

Once your session is reserved, you’ll receive a confirmation email, contract, prep guide, and questionnaire. These help me tailor your experience and ensure everything runs smoothly on session day.

Can I see examples of your previous work?

Absolutely! My portfolio highlights sessions across all genres. You can browse my work on my website or on social media to see the storytelling style that defines my imagery.

Do you offer packages or customizable options?

Yes, I offer both standard session packages and fully customized options designed around your needs. Whether you are seeking a quick headshot update, a storytelling family session, or full branding imagery for your business, we can create the perfect fit together.

What is included in your photography packages?

Each package is thoughtfully designed and includes a set number of high-resolution edited images, a private proofing gallery, and professional retouching. Full details vary by session type, and I am happy to share my pricing and package guide upon request.

I’m not comfortable in front of the camera—will you guide me?

Absolutely. My sessions are relaxed and fully guided from start to finish. I’ll direct you into natural poses, offer gentle prompts to capture genuine emotion, and ensure you never feel stiff or unsure.

Can we include pets or extended family members?

Yes! I love when families include their pets or grandparents in photos. Please let me know in advance so I can plan the best flow for your group and location. If you plan to bring a pet, I recommend bringing along a friend or family member to help manage them during the session. For families with more than six members, there is a small additional fee since I recommend a slightly longer session to ensure everyone is beautifully captured.

When will I receive my gallery?

Proofing galleries are typically delivered within three weeks of your session. Retouched images are completed within an additional two to three weeks, depending on the level of editing requested. Rush options are available for magazine or marketing deadlines.

Can I purchase additional images beyond my package?

Yes, you will be able to view your proofing gallery and select your favorites. Additional images and full-gallery upgrades are available right from your gallery link.

Do you offer retouching or editing options?

Yes, all final images include professional color correction and retouching. I also offer advanced editing, such as bodily modifications and facial swaps, for an additional fee.

Can I order prints or albums through you?

Yes! I offer professional-quality prints, wall art, and custom albums that bring your memories to life. You can order directly through your online gallery or by contacting me for personalized recommendations.

Do you travel for sessions?

I am based in Poway and serve all of San Diego County. Travel outside San Diego is available upon request and may include a small travel fee depending on distance and logistics.

What happens if the weather doesn’t cooperate?

I always keep a close eye on the forecast. In the event of rain or poor lighting conditions, I offer flexible rescheduling so we can still achieve the best possible results. Your experience and final images are my top priority.

Are you insured and licensed?

Yes, I am fully licensed and insured as a professional photographer in San Diego County. Many event venues and commercial spaces require proof of insurance, which I am happy to provide.

Do you offer gift cards or referral rewards?

Yes! Gift cards make wonderful presents for families, new homeowners, or business owners. I also have a referral program that rewards returning clients for sharing their experience.

Do you provide headshots or team branding sessions?

Yes, I offer both individual and team branding sessions. These are perfect for business owners, real-estate agents, and teams looking for cohesive professional imagery.

Do you offer real-estate or property photography for agents and builders?

Yes, I work closely with agents, builders, and designers across San Diego. Services include property photography, Matterport 3D tours, progress documentation, and commercial interiors.

Do you photograph events?

Yes, I capture events of all kinds—galas, golf tournaments, ribbon cuttings, and celebrations. Event coverage includes edited digital images, perfect for marketing, holding onto precious memories, or social media.

Will my images remain private?

Yes, your privacy is very important to me. Each client has the choice to keep their images fully private or allow me to share select photos for marketing purposes. More than half of my clients choose private galleries, and I honor every preference with care.
