STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?

How do I book a photography session?

Send a booking request with the package you're interested in, your preferred date, and a brief description of what you're looking for. I'll confirm availability and the details of your shoot before your session is booked.

Is a deposit required?

Yes. A deposit is required to reserve your date and time. The remaining balance is due on or before the day of the shoot.

Can I customize a package?

Yes. Personal photography packages include usage for personal websites, portfolios, professional profiles, and social media.

Absolutely. The packages are designed as starting points. Additional time, locations, looks, images, products, video, drone footage, and other services can be added based on your project.

Where are you located?

What's included in a people photography session?

I'm based in Los Angeles and photograph throughout the greater Los Angeles area. Travel outside the local area is available and may require an additional travel fee.

Booking & Payment

What counts as one product?

What is a “look”?

Depending on your package, sessions can include portraits, headshots, personal branding, fashion, lifestyle, editorial, and social media photography. Each package specifies the session length, number of locations, looks, and final retouched images included.

A look is one outfit or styling change. Hair, makeup, wardrobe, and major styling changes may require additional session time.

Can we shoot at multiple locations?

Are studio fees included?

Can I bring someone with me?

Are hair, makeup, and wardrobe included?

Yes. Signature and Creative Half-Day sessions can include multiple locations as specified in the package. Locations should be reasonably close to one another so travel does not significantly reduce shooting time.

No. Package prices cover the photography session. If a studio, venue, permit, parking, admission, or special location is required, those costs are additional unless specifically stated otherwise.

No. Clients are responsible for their own hair, makeup, and wardrobe unless these services are specifically arranged as part of a custom project.
