Go to the Inquire page and fill out the simple form that goes directly to my email. From there we can start chatting about your vision and get the booking process started.
Nope! I like to keep things simple. Once you confirm your session date, it's officially on my calendar and reserved just for you — no deposit needed. Your full session fee is due at the end of your session.
If a payment plan would make things easier, just reach out and we'll chat through the options. I'm happy to work with you to find something that fits your needs.
The earlier, the better — especially for senior sessions! Most sessions can be booked a few months out, and I highly recommend doing just that if you're planning for senior portraits. It's my busiest season, and dates fill up fast.
I'm based in Lompoc, California, right in the heart of the Central Coast. But yes, I'm happy to hit the road! I travel all across the Central Coast for sessions. For locations outside of Lompoc, there's just a small mileage fee — check out the Investment page for the full breakdown.
I'm all for a little breeze or cloud cover — it can actually add some magic to your photos! But if rain decides to crash the party, we'll reschedule. I'll be in touch to find a new day and time that works perfectly for both of us.
Absolutely! If you need to reschedule, just give me at least 24 hours' notice. We'll find a new date that works for both of us — no problem.
Most sessions last up to 90 minutes, or until we run out of that golden light. Sometimes we wrap up even sooner if we've captured everything we need. My goal is quality over quantity, without dragging things out unnecessarily.
Absolutely, please do! Outfit changes are a great way to add variety and show off different sides of your style. Just keep in mind that they do take up some session time, and since we're racing the sun, it's good to plan quick changes or keep them simple.
Yes, please! Props are a great way to add personality and meaning to your photos. Feel free to bring anything that helps tell your story. I don't typically provide props myself, so if you've got something in mind, bring it along!
Of course — furry (or feathered!) friends are always welcome! Just double-check that the location allows animals, and be sure to follow any posted guidelines. Don't forget the treats!
Absolutely! A familiar face can make all the difference. Whether they're there to cheer you on, help with outfits and props, or keep an eye on flyaway hairs — extra hands are always welcome.
You're in good company — everyone feels that way at first! My goal is to help you relax, have fun, and forget the camera is even there. And trust me, if we're talking awkward... I'll out-awkward you any day of the week.
Absolutely. I'll guide you every step of the way — no need to worry about what to do with your hands! I'll use simple prompts and gentle direction to help you look and feel your best.
You'll receive your fully edited photos in a private online gallery within 14 days of your session — sometimes sooner, depending on the season. Good things take time, and I promise it'll be worth the wait!
Your photos will be delivered in a private, password-protected online gallery. From there, you can easily view, download, share, and order prints — all in one place! Every image is fully edited and high-resolution, ready to be printed, posted, or framed.
Yes, absolutely. Every image is carefully edited in my signature style with a focus on natural light, true color, and clean composition. My goal is authenticity, not airbrushed perfection. You're already beautifully, wonderfully you — and that's exactly who I want to show.
Yes! Your online gallery makes it easy to order professional-quality prints, albums, and other keepsakes. Whether you're building a photo wall or creating a gift for grandma, there are plenty of options to bring your images to life.
Yes, absolutely — share away! I just ask that you credit me when you post. I love seeing your favorite moments out in the world!
a message away.
