FAQ’s
-
You're in the High Desert, will you drive to other Southern California areas?
Yes. Palm Springs, Rancho Cucamonga, the beach, and San Diego are all beautiful places and within driving distance. During our initial phone call, we can discuss locations.
-
I absolutely love my images, can I purchase more after the ordering appointment?
Yes, of course!! I will keep your images for one year. You can order additional photo books, prints, or wall art within that time. After one year, however, you will need to schedule a new session.
-
I only want digitals, can I get those instead. Is it cheaper?
I’m a professional photographer, and my passion is printing. Your images will be professionally printed by a company that is not available to consumers. Their job is to print beautiful images that will last for generations. I don’t want you printing at a big-box place or a drugstore. The quality is not there, and the colors do not print correctly.
You will, however, receive a digital file of each purchased image(s) to use for social media. Here’s a video of a few things I offer you.
And, no, it’s not cheaper if you only get the digital version. The cost is the same, so you might as well get the print.
-
What should I wear? Do we all match?
We can discuss clothing options during the consultation call. But, in the end, wear whatever makes you feel comfortable. You don’t want to wear 6” stilettos if you can’t walk in them. And don’t wear a three-piece suit if you don’t love dressing up. However, you want to wear clean, wrinkle-free clothing. Read this blog post for some ideas.
Long story short: no matchy matchy for family photos.
-
Are you available on weekends?
Yes. My schedule is more hectic during the week, so weekends work great for me! If you need a weekday or an evening, get in touch. I can be flexible.
-
How much do you cost? I don't see pricing on your website.
I charge a $150 creation fee for each booking. This is for my time and materials.
After that, you only invest in what you want. Whether you want a large art piece to display over your couch or multiple images of each child. It’s up to you. You can invest in metal, a beautiful gallery-wrapped canvas, framed art, gorgeous acrylic, or photo albums. You will receive a digital file for social media of every purchased image.

Why should I book you for my photo session?
I’m not like other photographers—I’m a cool photographer ;) And you don’t only get digitals with me.
I’m a passionate print artist, and I create legacy wall art. I want you to have images hanging up in your home. My portrait sessions are filled with laughter, confidence, and celebration, and are completely tailored to YOU.
When kids see their portraits in their home, it boosts their self-esteem; adults could use a little confidence boost, too.
I guide you throughout the entire experience, from start to finish. My goal is to create a memory that lives in your home.
-
I've never done a portrait session before. How should I pose?
It is my job, as a professional photographer, to pose you and your hands, to tell you which direction to look, and how to position your feet.
I guide you during the whole session; you just show up and relax.
On the flip side, if you have other poses in mind, we can do those as well. But, please keep in mind, poses you see online aren’t typically flattering on everybody.
-
Why do you keep saying photo session? Is it different than a photoshoot?
I am on the bandwagon of removing the word photoshoot from our vocabulary.
Shooting is for guns. You pull the trigger, and you’re done. Wham-bam.
This experience isn’t just another photoshoot; it’s elevated, it’s a legacy, it’s uniquely customizable to you, exciting, fresh, and it’s a boutique style.
It’s a tailored photo session- not a photoshoot.
