FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every session and event is a little different, so pricing depends on coverage time, location, and the type of experience you’re looking for. I try to keep pricing straightforward and transparent with no surprise fees. A nonrefundable retainer is required to secure your date. Payment plans may be available for larger events like quinceañeras. I occasionally offer seasonal mini sessions and limited-time specials, especially for portrait sessions and quinceañeras.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First, we chat about your vision, event, or session and make sure we’re a good fit. I’ll answer questions, go over pricing/options, and help guide you through the process without making things feel overly complicated. Once booked, we’ll finalize details like timing, locations, and any must-have moments. During the shoot, I focus on creating a relaxed environment so you can actually enjoy yourself instead of worrying about posing every second. Afterward, you’ll receive an online gallery where you can download and share your images.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve spent years developing my photography through hands-on experience photographing live events, performances, portraits, cultural events, and milestone celebrations. My background in visual arts and storytelling heavily influences my work. I’m constantly learning through real-world experience, continuing education, editing workflows, and studying lighting, composition, and human connection.
