+ Are you available for my event?

Please visit the Contact page to begin the process. All dates are reserved when details are agreed to in writing and a retainer fee has been received. Retainer fees are non-refundable.

+ Do you offer video services?

At the current time video services are not available.

+ Are there travel fees added to the costs of my session or event?

If your session/event is within 50 miles of Berkeley, CA there is no fee. For further travel, here are sample rates added to the total cost of the session:

• Santa Barbara, CA $200.00 fee
• Los Angeles, CA $300.00 fee
• San Diego, CA $400.00 fee

+ Do you deliver all photos taken?

Short answer - no I do not. I delete duplicate images, test shots, missed focused shots, shots with bad expressions, and other images that may not align with my quality standards. This maintains my exceptional photo standards, reduces unnecessary editing, and makes it easy for you to fall in love with every image.

+ How long does it take for me to receive my photos?

Basic editing and delivery services for digital files take no longer than 14 days. Print media can take up to an additional two weeks after your order is placed. If notified in advance, photos can be delivered on a faster turn around; there may be an additional cost depending on your request’s specific details.

+ How do you prepare for my session, location, or event?

I have photographed families and events of all sizes. For photography in new locations, I like to perform a walk-through of the space beforehand to identify suitable backgrounds and/or to understand the flow of your event. For brand and media sessions, an in-person consultation is strongly encouraged.

+ What can I expect for my session or event?

Please visit my Services page to view further details regarding style of sessions and base costs. For additional questions, please reach out me via the Contact page.

+ Do you offer any discounts?

Discounts are available for students, veterans, and charity organizations. The discount will vary depending on requested services and requires proof of validity. Offerings may include free/reduced sessions fees or prints, photography workshops, as well as service vouchers to raise money at auctions. Contact me for availability and to further discuss your request! Please be sure to include your relevant information in your initial contact for me to provide you an accurate quote.

+ What if I need to reschedule my session or event?

With two weeks advance notice, most date modifications can be accommodated without an additional fee. If changes are made with fewer than 14 days until the agreed upon date, it is not guaranteed that my services are still available. In the event that a new date can not be agreed upon, your retainer fee will be forfeited to cover the cost of the initial consultation and dropped appointment.
