FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every event and shoot is different, so pricing is tailored to the scope of the project, coverage time, location, and deliverables needed. Smaller portrait sessions and local events are available at approachable rates, while larger productions, nightlife, and commercial events are quoted accordingly. Travel fees may apply outside the Joshua Tree, Palm Springs, and Greater Los Angeles areas. Fast turnaround, extended coverage, and custom editing requests can also be added as needed.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The process starts with a quick conversation about the event, shoot, or vision you have in mind — location, vibe, coverage needs, timeline, and the kind of images you’re hoping to walk away with. From there, I’ll provide a quote and help iron out any details so everything runs smoothly on shoot day. During the session or event, I focus on keeping things relaxed while capturing natural energy, candid moments, and strong visual storytelling. Afterward, edited images are delivered through an online gallery with easy download and sharing options.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I hold a BA in Design Studies from San Jose State University, with a background in visual design, composition, and digital media. My experience in photography has been built through hands-on event coverage, portrait work, and years of developing a strong understanding of lighting, atmosphere, and visual storytelling. I also have a professional background in quality assurance for film, television, and video games, which sharpened my attention to detail, technical consistency, and post-production workflow.
