how do you deliver our photos and videos?

You'll receive your photos in an online gallery where you can download them at full-resolution and web-size resolution. There’s also a high quality print shop attached to your gallery for easy printing but only if you want to use the service.
For video, I also send over a link to your videos where you can download them at high resolution.

do you give raws? (unedited files)

I don't because countless hours have been spent perfecting the editing process. There won’t be any important photos or videos left out. If you feel I've missed delivering a photo or clip, feel free to ask!

what’s your travel fee?

Additional ground travel beyond Santa Cruz will be charged at $1 to the mile. 

do you have location ideas?

dO you offer gift certificates?

Yes! Feel free to fill out the contact form and than I'll send you a contract & certificate you can print out to give as a gift!

Yes! Let me know if you’d like for me to send over my Santa Cruz location guide :)

what time of day should we plan for?

I always recommend Golden Hour for beach sessions and a few hours before the sun sets if we’re in the redwoods or forest.

what should we bring?

​ Amazing!! I love the creative collaborative process with couples. If you want to, we can start a shared Pinterest board together so we can brainstorm the vibe of your photos and bring those poses and ideas into your day. Any and all ideas are welcome.

how to payment schedules work?

50% deposit to hold your date
50% 1 week before your date

do you offer mini sessions?

I don't because they don't leave us enough time to warm up your family to the camera and the best photos usually come at the end of the session. :)

​what do we wear?

​Wear something that’s comfortable and your vibe. Sticking to neutral colors is best as they’re usually timeless and won’t age your photos.
