I did an couples anniversary photoshoot with Kelli and it was awesome. She was super responsive and also worked with us to determine what kind of photoshoot we could have with our budget. We ended up doing half an hour at Baker Beach in SF and it was more than enough time to get some beautiful shots! She was fun and easy to work with and talk to and she genuinely enjoys her craft. Highly recommend using Kelli’s photography services for any photo shoots you may need!

Details: Couples portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • Flash drive • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Kelli was a thorough professional from start to finish, who went above and beyond what is expected of a photographer. They helped me choose a great spot outdoors for the photo-shoot, gave me a bit of much-needed fashion advice (:P) and bore with me over multiple iterations of edits! Great quality of work, which my hard-to-please family greatly appreciated! Highly recommend Kelli for any portrait photography needs!

Details: Solo portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Photo studio • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard rate is $400/hr for most shoots. If you are low-income and looking for photography, please specify in your outreach.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I require a 50% deposit in order to book the time and date of the shoot. This is non-refundable but will be used as a credit towards your total invoice. Before the shoot, we will have a 15-30 minute call to chat about your vision. This can be extended as necessary for engagement or wedding shoots.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been taking photos since I was a teenager and have taken photography courses in both Digital and Film Photography during High School and Middle School.
