FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Asking to put a price on something as invaluable as memories that last generations is difficult. I work with close attention to detail, with the highest technology (on-site and in the office), and extensive hours of training and investment of time and energy into making every single session a well-rounded and satisfying experience for my clients. That being said, I am flexible with creating customized packages for my clients - especially those who would like to buy multiple sessions or add-ons, such as albums, up-front. Please inquire with your needs and we can create a package for you.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each time I work with a new customer my primary aim is to understand: who they are, what pictures they dream of having, and how my style will translate to tell their unique story. I like to connect with my clients on a personal level so that the experience is not only enjoyable but comfortable and feels like you're hanging out with a friend, not just a stranger with a camera. I'm great at directing people while still letting natural moments happen within a session. This puts people at ease right away because they understand I'm an expert and I have real experience as a model, so I've been on both sides.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned my degree in photojournalism with a minor in sociology at Cal State Fullerton back in 2009, since then I've attended photo workshops around the globe with top photojournalists and storytellers from National Geographic, Time, New York Times, Wall Street Journal and so on. I've also worked with top wedding photographers in workshops in Mexico and Peru and various parts of the U.S. Each experience helps me grow as a professional and as a person -- first and foremost, all we wanna do as [really extraordinary] photographers is connect with our subjects and tell their story in the best light.
