what to expect during our shoot
1. we hang out
Your session should feel like a date night... Plan to grab drinks before; do an activity during your shoot; or just simply come in with the mindset that you’re there to have fun!
2. snap some photos
I’ll do everything in my power to make sure you don’t feel awkward or uncomfortable. During the shoot, I’ll give you prompts to do (hold hands; walk away from me; etc) - as this helps put most people at ease and not feel pressured to pose any certain way! I’ll also bring a speaker to play some music and keep things fun.
3. create memories
My main goal for any shoot is to give you a final gallery that feels like YOU. Your love is something unique & I want your photos to reflect that in a way that is authentic + genuine to your love story.
While Wedding days are more structured than engagement sessions, i aim to bring the same energy to this special day & making sure we stick to your timeline!
Am I the right girl for you?
Are you looking for true-to-life, authentic, and unposed moments that let you relive your special day? Then YES, I’m your person! My goal is to create a gallery that tells your love story in the most vivid and heartfelt way, so years later, you can remember every little detail. Your love story is unique, and I want to help you see it that way, with all the warmth and joy it deserves. :)
FAQs
How quickly can we get our gallery?
I aim to deliver your gallery as quickly as possible, since I know how eager you are to see your photos. Timing can fluctuate based on how busy things are, but typically it’s ~4-5 weeks for standard couple/engagement sessions & ~8-10 weeks for weddings. Wedding + Elopement sessions also receive sneak peeks within 72 hrs from your big day! Trust me, I know better than anyone that you need those for the gram!
HOW DOES YOUR PAYMENT PLAN WORK?
This varies based on what you’re booking, but for couple & engagement sessions; a 35% retainer is required at the time of booking along with a signed contract. The remaining balance is due 48 hrs prior to your shoot. For weddings, a $500 retainer is due with your signed contract & the remaining balance is split up into 3-4 additional payments.
DO YOU HAVE INSURANCE?
Yes! I have insurance through State Farm & will happily provide you + your venue with whatever documentation is needed.
What types of sessions do you offer?
My primary focus is couple sessions, intimate weddings, elopements & love! So whether you’re getting married or want to take photos “just because” — I’m your girl :)
What locations do you shoot in?
Typically, couple sessions & engagements are in Los Angeles, with Malibu being the most popular area couples like to book. But that doesn’t mean I won’t travel outside of LA! Depending on the location, I’d add a small travel fee to your session package.
Do you travel?
I. LOVE. TO. TRAVEL. My travel elopement packages allow you to book me without having to deal with any extra travel fees, as everything is included. If you’d like to add travel to a wedding booking; I can create a custom package for you. My goal is to make sure you’re not stressing about booking your own travel & mine. I’ll handle everything on my own!
