Question 1

What is your photography style?

Accepted Answer

My style is natural, connection-focused, and relaxed. I want your photos to reflect who your family truly is — the love, laughter, and quiet moments you share together.
I’ll place you in beautiful light and gently guide you, but the magic comes from you interacting with each other. Think less posing, more being together. Play, laugh, snuggle, and do what feels natural — I’ll take care of capturing it.

Question 2

What should I expect?

Accepted Answer

Connection is the goal. I’ll encourage you to stay close — holding hands, snuggling, moving together — because that’s where the most meaningful images come from.
We may grab one or two classic “everyone looking at the camera” shots, but most of the session is about movement, interaction, and letting your family’s energy guide the flow. Sessions are easygoing, playful, and always go at your family’s pace.

Question 3

What are the best locations for a photo session?

Accepted Answer

Northern California has no shortage of beautiful spots! Once I learn a bit about your family, I’ll help suggest locations that fit your vibe — whether that’s outdoors at golden hour or in the comfort of your home.

Question 4

How many people can I include?

Accepted Answer

Family sessions are for up to 5 people, $25 per additional person.

Question 5

Can you help with styling? What to Wear? What NOT to Wear?

Accepted Answer

Yes — absolutely. Styling can feel overwhelming, and I’ve got you covered.
I provide guidance on what to wear, how to coordinate colors and textures. My goal is to help you feel confident and comfortable, without overthinking it.

Question 6

What about props?

Accepted Answer

I keep props minimal so the focus stays on your connection. I may bring simple items like a blanket to sit on if it enhances the session, but nothing distracting or overly styled.
The story is about you, not props.

Question 7

How much editing can I expect?

Accepted Answer

You’ll receive a thoughtfully curated gallery of fully edited, high-resolution images. Each image includes color correction, cropping, and skin tone adjustments.

Additional retouching (such as head swaps or specific edits) is available for an additional fee if needed. All delivered images are print-ready.

Question 8

When will we receive our images?

Accepted Answer

Your online gallery will be delivered within 1–2 weeks of your session. From there, you can easily download images, share with family, and order professional prints through my trusted print lab.

Question 9

Any travel fees?

Accepted Answer

Sessions within 20 miles of 94952 are included. Travel beyond that range may require a small additional fee.

Question 10

Let's Do This!  What are the next steps?

Accepted Answer

To reserve your session, I’ll send over a contract and invoice. A 30% deposit is required to officially hold your date.
Once booked, we’ll plan the fun details — location, timing, and styling — so everything feels smooth and stress-free.

Question 11

When should I book?

Accepted Answer

The earlier, the better — especially for fall sessions, which tend to fill quickly. I take a limited number of sessions each month so I can give every family my full attention.

If you know you’d like to book, I recommend reaching out sooner rather than later.

Question 12

Why choose me as your photographer?

Accepted Answer

I believe photography is about more than a perfectly posed image. It’s about telling your family’s story in a way that feels honest, warm, and timeless.

I work as a boutique photographer, which means I’m deeply invested in both your experience and your final images — from the moment you inquire to the delivery of your gallery. My goal is for you to walk away with photos you’ll cherish for generations.I believe photography is about more than a perfectly posed image.
