Frequently Asked Questions
What can I expect?
At the very least, you can expect to have a fun time!
We’ll chat, hop around to different spots and I’ll guide you through various poses.
After the shoot, I’ll edit your photos and send them to you within a month via an online link.
Will you help direct me? What do I do with my hands?
Yes! I ‘ll tell you what to do (without being too bossy.)
I know firsthand how awkward it can feel in front of a camera, but that’s what I’m here for!
I take my responsibility to tell you to lean ever so slightly to the left very seriously.
And trust me, you look good. Like, holy sh*t.
What is your deposit policy?
A 50% deposit is required to secure your shoot date, which will go towards the total cost of the shoot.
The remaining balance is due on the day of the shoot.
Just a heads up: deposits are non-refundable.
What is your refund policy?
While deposits are non-refundable, they can be transferred to a new date if we need to reschedule.
I have no issue with rescheduling!
Just give me a heads-up.
Where will we shoot?
I’ll recommend locations based on the look and feel you’re after.
Most of the spots I shoot are on LA's East Side (think Eagle Rock, Highland Park, Pasadena) since this is where I live and work.
I typically prefer outdoor shoots, but if your vision calls for a studio, I’m open to that too!
When can I expect to receive my photos?
You’ll get your photos within 4 weeks for Portrait or Band Sessions.
For Album or Single Artwork Sessions, it’s within 6 weeks.
How many photos will I receive?
For portrait sessions, you can expect to receive 30-50 final photos.
For band sessions, it's typically 40-60.
And for Album/Single Artwork Sessions, you’ll get between 50-70 photos.
What clothing options should I bring?
Bring at least two outfit changes.
Try to avoid black, but if that’s your vibe, we can make it work.
Most importantly, wear what makes you feel comfortable and confident!
Can I request specific photo ideas?
Absolutely!
It makes my job way easier if you have a Pinterest board or vision in mind to start with.
Let’s collab, baby.
Do you offer art direction?
Yes, I do—on request!
I love curating mood boards and working closely with you to develop the perfect vibe.
We’ll play with colors, themes, and locations to make sure it all aligns with your vision.
Do you offer styling assistance?
Yes, on request!
I’m happy to recommend outfit ideas based on your vision or provide a few clothing options based on what I have in my styling wardrobe.
What if our shoot runs longer than expected?
I try to avoid this at all costs. Please don’t be late!
If it’s looking like you won’t arrive within 15 minutes of our scheduled start time, just ask to reschedule — no sweat.
Will you re-edit the photos if I'd like a different style?
Since editing time is included in my session prices, if you’d like a different editing style after receiving your gallery, you can request new edits for $200.
Can I bring a friend or my partner?
Preferably no, but if they’re coming to hype you up and be a positive force, they’re welcome!
However, if I hear a “suck in your stomach” or “don’t make that face,” I will throw hands.
Positive support only!
Will you edit my skin or blemishes?
I’ll smooth out skin where necessary, but I don’t do heavy retouching.
I have acne, scars, and wrinkles, and guess what? It’s part of what makes me human!
That being said, I love you and your skin just the way it is.
Will you edit my body if I ask you to?
This is 100% a no-go for me!
Being asked to edit someone’s body goes against everything I stand for.
I see you as beautiful, inside and out, and I truly hope by the end of our shoot, you’ll see yourself the same way.
