Portraits
Proposals | Engagements | Maternity | Anniversaries
Every portrait session is a chance to slow down, connect, and create something you'll want to hang on your wall forever. Whether you're about to propose, newly engaged, expecting, or simply celebrating where you are right now, I'd love to tell your story. Sessions are up to 30 to 90 minutes, with roughly one hour per location or outfit (including changes and travel between spots). A personal print release is included with every package, and additional locations or travel can always be added. Ready to start planning? Reach out through the contact form. Can’t wait to meet you soon and create something special! ✨

FAQ
How are you handling cancellations and rescheduling with COVID?
If you need to cancel, retainers are non-refundable. But I am not charging any rescheduling fees as long as I am available for the new, rescheduled date!
How much do you charge for travel?
→ A travel fee of $1.00/mile one way apply to locations that are BEYOND 1 hour one-way (typically equivalent to ~50 miles one-way without traffic) from 95132.
How and when should we pay you?
→ Venmo, major credit cards, debit cards, and ACH/bank transfers are accepted via your client portal.
→ 20% non-refundable retainer is required to book portrait sessions and to secure your date.
→ The rest is due the day of the session or can be made in advance.
Can I extend the session on the day of?
→ Yes, definitely! If you end up needing more time for the proposal or extra after-proposal portraits, extra time can be requested and added to your package/invoice on the day of or in advance.
Can you send us the "raw" pictures?
→ Nope!
1. I literally shoot in a “RAW” format on my camera to retain better details especially when editing.
2. You’re hiring me for the photos you see on here which are my fully edited, finished work with nice and crisp colors and quality.
→ Giving the “raw”, unedited photos is like a chef giving you an unseasoned, bland dish. So please trust me & the process!
How and when do we book?
→ To book and secure your date, I require a signed contract and a 20% non-refundable retainer.
→ Clients may book their wedding dates up to 1-2 years out, so engagement sessions are planned shortly after booking their wedding. However, you don't need to book a wedding with me for us to shoot your engagement photos! (engagement sessions are complimentary if you do though!)
→ For couples portrait sessions, reaching out and booking at least 1 month ahead is ideal! For Proposals, at least 1-6+ months ahead.
How far do you travel?
→ I travel anywhere in the Bay Area / NorCal and beyond!
→ Airfare, at least 1-2 day stay (depending on duration of travel), and/or transportation are to be covered for me + possibly a second shooter for sessions & weddings beyond 3 hours away (one-way) from San Jose, CA.
When and how do we receive our photos?
→ WHEN: Sneak peeks within 1 week from our session & 1 to 4 weeks on your final gallery.
→ HOW: I'll send a gallery with the finished, high-res photos via email for you to download and share.
Don’t forget to back up your images ASAP!
Do I have to order prints through you?
→ Not at all! Every package includes printing rights meaning you can order your prints anywhere as long as they're used for personal reasons!
→ The online gallery that I deliver does have a print store where you can directly choose and order prints with ProDPI, a professional photo lab that makes high quality prints.
