There are many moving parts in a photoshoot, and we love to help our clients understand what to expect, plan, wear, and overall expectations. Here is a list of our most commonly asked questions.
What are your hours?
We work Monday- Friday and hours depending on the type of shoot and desired needs for the location. Some require a sunrise or sunset; we perform the hours needed to get the desired shot. We do not work weekends, and if that is requested, we do offer weekend rates.
What do you need before a photo session?
A positive attitude and willingness to have fun! Photos can be nerve-wracking we get. We strive to help you make this a stress-free experience and have a stylist that can help with clothing, makeup, and hair b the best in the business.

We accept several types of payment for your convenience. This includes:
Cash

What is your address or contact information?
We have one studio in Santa Cruz, CA., and other sessions take place in the location that best fits the session needs. We travel all over the world, creating images with the perfect backdrop.

Re-touching & Editing
Yes, we do retouch the images. My professional photography started in beauty and fashion; hence I have been trained in various retouching techniques used in portrait and fashion photography worldwide.
Your booking should be made at least three weeks to allow thorough preparation for your shoot.
On the day of your session, only my assistant and I will be with you. The makeup artist usually leaves after the makeover unless we do some fabric draping/ throwing, which happens at the beginning of the photoshoot.
We allow a one-time re-scheduling minimum of 16 days before your session. Any additional will incur in the second session fee. You can cancel your session if you wish, but your session fee will not be refunded.
Digital images will be released 48 hours after the day of order. Any additional prints or boxes may take up to 4 weeks. Wall art will take up to 4 weeks for production and delivery.
No, they will be kept private if you do not sign the release. Of course, I would love to share your beautiful photos in my portfolio to help my business grow, but I will respect your wish if you keep them to yourself instead.
No, I do not require you to see your medical history or undertake any medical procedures to carry out your portrait or in-person session. If you feel unwell, please inform me as soon as possible so we can reschedule. My team will always be masked to keep our team and clients safe.
