Frequently Asked Questions

What should we wear for our session?
I always recommend neutral, timeless tones — creams, soft blues, warm browns, muted greens, or black and white. Avoid heavy patterns or logos.
Once you book, I’ll send a styling guide and we can coordinate outfits to match the location and mood of your session.
We feel awkward in photos. Do you help with posing?
Absolutely. Most of my clients say this at first.
I’ll guide you through natural movement-based prompts rather than stiff posing. The goal is connection, not perfection. You don’t need modeling experience — just show up as yourselves.
How do we secure our date?
A 50% non-refundable retainer and a signed agreement are required to officially reserve your session date.
The remaining balance is due prior to the session.
When will we receive our photos?
Final edited galleries are delivered within 2–4 weeks.
You’ll receive a private online gallery where you can download, share, and order prints.
Do you deliver RAW images?

I do not deliver RAW or unedited files.
Each gallery is carefully curated and edited to reflect my artistic style and ensure a cohesive final collection.
How many photos will we receive?
Every session includes a curated gallery of fully edited, high-resolution images.
The exact number varies based on session length, but most clients receive 50+ final images.
How far in advance should we book?

I recommend booking 3–4 weeks in advance, especially for golden hour weekend sessions.
Do you offer location guidance?
Yes! I help with location ideas based on your vision — beach, golden hills, in-home, urban, or romantic sunset settings.
I’m happy to suggest spots around Orange County that photograph beautifully.

What makes your photography different?

My approach is rooted in nostalgia and movement. I focus on capturing connection — the in-between moments, the laughter, the quiet closeness.

Every gallery is edited with a cinematic, timeless feel so your images feel like memories, not just photos.
