So you've looked thru my Web site and social media and want to book. First, thank you for trusting me and choosing me to document you and/or your family. I believe in freezing real moments and the beauty of everyday. My goal every session is to capture images you can look back on and be reminded of the love and beauty found in the simple in-between times. To create timeless images and heirlooms that will make you smile for years and years to come.

There are a couple options depending on what your objective is when it comes to using the photographs and the genre of photography being done. The photography process involves 3 steps.

  1. THE BOOKING - There are 3 options for session types. This is to accommodate the amount of time, outfits, locations and images you desire. There is a corresponding "Session Fee" that covers my time and talent to create your images and is not applied towards your purchase. When you book online, you will pay a deposit to reserve your time slot.
  2. THE SESSION - Depending on the "session type" you choose, a predetermined amount of time will be allocated for the shoot. This is where the fun and magic happens.
  3. THE REVEAL - Once your session is ready, you will receive your images in a "watermarked" gallery. After you have a chance to view your images you have an option to set up a "Reveal Appointment". This is the exciting part when you can choose what you want to do with them in addition to digital images. This can be in-person or online via Zoom. Whether you want wall prints, an album, image box or just digitals. The more you spend on product, the less (or even free) the digital images are.

The session

To me this is playtime. You have already stressed over outfits and made it on-time to the location so take a deep breath and let me take over. I keep the sessions relaxed and comfortable. We will explore and laugh and get the magical, meaningful collection of images you have been dreaming about. If we are doing the REVEAL online, I can show you some samples of product after we finish shooting so you can have a better idea of the options available to you after you see your images.

No matter what session type you choose, the $250 minimum purchase amount is collected the day of the shoot and will be applied to the order you make after the reveal (2-3 weeks later).

The Reveal

I get so excited to show you what we created! After you view your images in an online gallery you have an option to set up a photo reveal. This can be in-person in my studio in Escalon or online via Zoom. It is a chance to review the images, view product available, answer questions and create your order. To often portraits are created but nothing is down with them. In addition to digital images, I encourage everyone to purchase tangible heirloom products from my professional lab. Because of this I discount the digitals depending on the amount spent on product (albums, prints, canvases, photo boxes, etc.). The breakdown of the digital images cost for each session type is below. You will forever treasure the investment you made in products and will enjoy the portraits for a lifetime. After the reveal your pictures will be online in a gallery for you to view for 2 additional weeks.

FAQ

When will we get our photos?

Your reveal will be scheduled for 2-3 weeks after your session date. After the reveal and ordering session, your online gallery will remain live for 2 weeks. If you purchase digitals, they will be available immediately to download. Product takes 1-4 weeks to arrive, depending on the item.

Can I "rush" my images?

Yes. Turnaround time is 2-3 weeks to see your images but if you want to see them in 3 business days you can pay an additional $50 for a mini session or $100 for a full or VIP session.

Where are you based and do you travel?

I reside in a small farming community in the Central Valley of California called Escalon. I also travel to the Phoenix area a few times a year for shoots. I will designate several destination shoots throughout the year and am more than happy to travel when requested. Additional fees may be charged for travel. Inquire and I can provide you with a quote.
