I’m known as a kids and family photographer, but I also have a passion for capturing couples and individuals. I would love to be your photographer for special events like birthdays, baby showers, engagements, and more! I’m here to “frame the emotions and freeze memories in time,” so don’t hesitate to reach out for any occasion.
Outdoor Photography
There’s no denying that the beauty of the landscape during the golden hour can make your photos look truly magical. Being outdoors also brings joy to children, as they love running around and exploring nature. Spring and autumn are especially stunning seasons, with nature’s vibrant colors providing the perfect backdrop for unforgettable photos.
Location
There are plenty of beautiful locations in the Bay Area, but don’t overlook the charm of your own backyard. It may be stunning, and more importantly, it’s your comfort zone—where you feel at ease and have everything you need close by. The location must be within 25 to 30 miles of San Carlos. For any locations beyond this range, additional charges will apply.
Best time for shooting
For outdoor sessions, my favorite times to shoot are during the golden hour—either 1.5 hours before sunset or up to 1.5 hours after sunrise. The exact timing will vary with the season. However, if these times don’t work for you we can schedule a time that fits both our calendars.
What to Wear!
This depends entirely on your personal style! You can bring two or more outfits but if you have a baby or toddler, keep in mind that outfit changes depend on their mood, and sometimes they may not cooperate. I always recommend not forcing it—it’s better to keep them happy and avoid turning the session into a stressful experience!
If you need any guidance or suggestions, feel free to reach out. I’m here to help!
When to Expect Your Photos
Within one week after the shooting session, you’ll receive online access to your raw (unedited) photos, allowing you to make your selections. Once you’ve chosen your favorite images, You will receive the digital edited photos along with the original files within four weeks, ready for printing. The photos will have watermarks on them for selection and purchase purposes.
I believe that the photos belong to the client just as much as they belong to the photographer. However, I cannot provide a lifetime guarantee for saving your digital files. Therefore, as a client, you have the right to receive your own final edited photo digital files.
Session Fee
The session fee is $120 for 2 hours of photography, which is due at the time of booking. This fee covers my skill, and the time spent photographing you. Please note that this fee does not include any edited digital images.
