This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
First and foremost, Be yourself! The best photos come from natural interactions and real emotions. Plan your outfits- Soft, neutral colors or coordinated looks work best. Comfort is key! Feel free to bring personal touches- Props like baby blankets, favorite toys, or meaningful items make your session more special. Trust the process - I will guide you throughout our session with poses and prompts, but some of the most beautiful shots happen spontaneously. The last and most important, Just be in the moment and embrace the experience!!! Laugh, hug, play, and relax— your genuine moments are what I love to capture!
Are travel fees included in your packages?
All packages show base pricing, ONLY.
I do charge a flat rate travel fee if exceeding a specific amount of miles round trip from Bonita, CA. I will always be sure to communicate this with you before finalizing our booking. If you’re not sure whether your chosen location falls within the included range, feel free to reach out — I’m always happy to help!
When is your usual time for shooting sessions?
With my style of photography, it is my opinion the the best light is usually “golden hour” — the hour after sunrise or before sunset — when the sun is low and soft. It creates a warm, flattering glow, that works beautifully for outdoor sessions - MY FAVVV!
For in-home sessions, late morning or early afternoon works best when natural light fills your space.
How long will our session take?
Session lengths vary depending on the type:
• Family sessions: 45-60 minutes
• Maternity sessions: 45-60 minutes
• Newborn sessions: 90 minutes - 2 hours (to allow for feeding, soothing, and breaks)
I always work to make sure everyone stays comfortable throughout. If you would like to book more or less time, don't hesitate to ask!
