FAQ
I'm not photogenic / I get nervous in front of the camera.
Most people feel that way before we start. I'll guide you through direction and posing the whole time, no experience needed.
How does payment work?
A non-refundable 50% deposit secures your date, with the remainder due before your session. This keeps my calendar reserved for clients who are ready to commit.
Do I choose which photos I get?
After your session, you'll get a private online gallery showing every shot from the day. You can browse, mark favorites, and leave feedback directly in the gallery, then I edit and deliver your final selects.
How soon will I get my photos?
Within a week of your session!
Can we shoot somewhere outside San Diego?
Yes, for the Editorial Experience. Destination sessions are available with an added travel fee based on location.
How do you edit for different skin tones?
This is something I take seriously and I'm genuinely good at it. Lighting and retouching aren't one-size-fits-all, so I make sure every skin tone is lit and edited to look rich, natural, and true, not flattened or off.
You don't need a reason.
You need a moment.
