Let's start with WHY?

No two families are the same. So why do most photographers put clients in a box with predesigned packages & set pricing? When you work with me, we will create a completely customizable experience for you & your family. If you’re searching for beautiful digitals to plaster on social media— You got it! If you want to create a wall of smiling faces— Check! If you’d like to gift a custom album to Grandma & Grandpa to cherish forever— Done! In other words, my business is designed with your wants & needs in mind before all else. Your input, goals & vision are truly what will make your family session feel perfect to you. And that, my friend, is what's important to me. 




1. Custom Luxury experience

A great family photography experience isn’t supposed to be transactional & distant— It’s meant to be collaborative & fun! When you hire me as your photographer, we'll be meeting throughout this process. First with the planning session, where we meet & chat & create to ensure that your session is your session.  After your photo session date, we'll meet again for your order session. You’ll get to view your images for the first time, which is one of my favorite parts of being a full service photographer. The raw reactions, the look of satisfaction with your photographer (thank you) & the excitement for what’s next gives me all the best feelings! From here, you can invest in what you want, how much you want & in whatever medium you want. Once again, this is all about you & what you want and need. However, with an average investment of $1200 for family sessions, I think it's safe to say, clients enjoy the big reveal.





2. collaboration
3. premiere printing labs

All of my clients have access to the top printing labs in the Bay Area and beyond. Since the early days of my professional career, I’ve recognized the value & importance of being a full service photographer. Quality, professional grade art is the cherry on top of your entire photography experience. Each of my clients has the opportunity to cherish the highest quality prints, design top tier wall art & create luxurious custom albums. Because, why do anything half way? Your beautiful photos aren't meant to be hidden away on your phone— They're meant to be displayed, celebrated & incorporated into your everyday life. Get this— Studies actually show that viewing family photos increases your happiness. Now imagine walking by that gorgeous portrait on your wall back & forth, multiple times, all day, every single day— That’s a lot of happy.




So by now, I hope you realize that, to me, photography is a whole lot more than taking pictures. It’s time & care, it’s attention to detail & it’s a celebration of you and your family through every medium possible. And as always, my goal is that every family feels that depth of care applied throughout the entire process when working with me.

Next Question

answers:

questions:

The short answer is: whatever you feel comfortable in!
The longer answer is: it depends on the type of session & your personal taste. 
For family sessions, you  should coordinate within the same color scheme.  White, tan & blue is a popular combination that allows mom the freedom to wear a white sundress, dad the opportunity to wear jeans & the kiddos to dress in khakis and blue polos.
Senior sessions are your time to be creative & have fun! Because your senior is the star of the show, they can curate an outfit that best represents their personality. This session thrives on showcasing bright colors, intricate prints & accessories galore.
For a professional headshot session, it's best to err on the side of  business formal. But, our session offers an optional outfit change, so business casual attire can be incorporated as well.
