Frequently Asked.

The questions I get most often. If yours isn't here, the easiest way is to email. I read everything.

How fast do I get my photos back?

Sneak peeks (10–20 images) land in your inbox within 48 hours. Full galleries come back in 3–4 weeks for portraits and engagements, and 4–6 weeks for weddings. If you need a faster turnaround, just ask. Rush delivery is available for an extra fee.

What should we wear?

Pick what looks like you, in colors that don't fight the location. I'd skip loud logos, neon, and anything with a distracting print, and lean into texture: linen, denim, knits, soft neutrals all photograph beautifully. Once we're booked I'll send a one-pager with location-specific suggestions, so don't overthink it.

How do I book?

Email me at [email protected] with your date, location, and what you're imagining. I'll come back with availability and a quote, and once we're aligned, a signed agreement and a small retainer lock in the date.

Where do you travel? Are there extra fees?

I'm based in Orange County and shoot all over OC and the LA area without extra travel charges nearby. For destinations beyond that, like Big Sur, Joshua Tree, out of state, or wherever the day takes us, I'll put together a flat travel quote up front so there are no surprises.

Do you offer prints and albums?

Yes. Every gallery comes with a print release so you can order anywhere you like, and I also offer lay-flat heirloom albums and fine-art prints through pro labs if you'd rather have me handle it. Pricing is by-quote since it depends on size and finish.

How are my photos backed up and delivered?

Cards get offloaded the same night to two separate drives, then mirrored to cloud storage before any editing starts. Your photos exist in three places before I touch them. Final galleries are delivered as high-resolution downloads through a private online gallery you can share with family, and I keep a copy on file for at least a year after delivery.
