Q & A

Question

Answer

What is your photography style?

My approach to photography blends elements of fine art and documentary styles to produce a beautiful, organic hybrid that is both elegant and raw. You won’t find any stale, awkwardly posed images in my portfolio – I go for the real deal. It is always my goal to capture real emotions and document the unique, honest connections that exist between couples and families.

What is a lifestyle session like?

That depends on you! I strive to create a comfortable, natural environment for clients allowing their real personalities and dynamics to shine. These sessions are always laid-back, pressure-free and filled with joy, and I work to strike a balance between dynamic movement and tender moments to create a final gallery that captures every aspect of who you are.

Are sessions indoors or outdoors?

You get to choose! I am a natural light, on-location photographer, but all locations are selected in collaboration with you to bring your unique vision to life. We can photograph in the comfort of your own cozy home, at a favorite park or your favorite coffee shop. It's up to you! And if you’re not quite sure where you’d like to stage your session, don’t worry. I have a bunch of local recommendations!

Do you charge extra for travel?

Travel within San Francisco is included in my standard rates. Send me a message here for locations outside of that range. I always love to explore new places, and I’m always half packed for my next adventure!

Do you give out RAW, unedited files?

You will receive High-Resolution JPEG files in your online gallery. Unfortunately, I am not able to provide RAW images for viewing or purchase. All the photos taken from your session are carefully selected, and everything else is not archived. Rest assured that any images not delivered truly are outtakes! I do not cull to meet a certain number of produced images, so every picture is processed thoughtfully.
