Let's Talk About Your Investment

Here's How This Works

I know looking at photography pricing can feel overwhelming, especially when you're trying to compare packages and figure out what you actually need. So let me make this simple:

You don't need to have it all figured out right now.

Tell me about your day (or your vision for your session), and I'll help you understand what will work best. I've done this hundreds of times, and I promise I can guide you to exactly what you need, nothing more, nothing less.

What You're Really Getting

When you work with me, you're not just getting someone to show up and take photos. Here's what's actually included in your investment:

  • •A planning partner who helps you create a timeline that actually works
  • •Someone who stays calm when things run behind schedule
  • •Guidance on locations, lighting, and what to wear before your session
  • •The actual photography, where I make sure you look natural and comfortable
  • •Professional editing that brings out the best in every image
  • •A curated online gallery of your final images, ready to download
  • •Full printing rights, these are YOUR photos
  • •Ongoing support even after delivery

You're also paying for years of experience, professional equipment and insurance, and someone who genuinely cares that your day goes perfectly.

Questions You're Probably Asking

Do you require a deposit?

Yes, I require a 30% non-refundable deposit to reserve your date. The remaining balance is due two weeks before your session or event. This ensures we're both committed and your date is locked in.

How many photos will I receive?

I don't limit your gallery by a specific number because every session is different. For portrait sessions, expect 40–75 edited images per hour. For weddings, most couples receive 500–800+ images depending on coverage length. I deliver every great moment, not just a predetermined count.

How long until I get my photos?

Portrait sessions are typically delivered within 2 weeks. Events are usually ready within 1 week. Weddings take 4–6 weeks because of the volume and detail involved. I'll always give you a specific timeline when we book.

Can I get the raw, unedited files?

I don't provide raw files because editing is a crucial part of my creative process and brand. What you receive are professionally edited, color-corrected images that represent my work. These are ready to print, share, and display exactly as delivered.

Do you travel for sessions?

Absolutely! I'm based in Murrieta/Temecula Valley but regularly travel throughout Southern California. For destinations outside this area, I just ask that travel costs (mileage or airfare/lodging for farther locations) be covered. Let's talk about your location and I'll provide exact details.

What if we need to reschedule?

Life happens, I get it. If you need to reschedule due to weather, illness, or emergencies, we'll work together to find a new date at no additional charge. Your deposit simply moves to the new date. I want you to feel great about your session, not stressed.
