FAQ
(frequently asked questions)
- After our session, a sneak peak will be posted on Facebook within 1-3 days. Sessions will be readily available after 2-3 weeks, weddings will be readily available after 6-8 weeks. You will receive a link to an online gallery of your edited images that can be used for sharing, downloading + printing. Most sessions include a disc of high resolution edited images, this will be mailed shorty after as well as any other products you may have purchased.
What can we expect after our session?
- Once we talk about your session we can discuss a few options that would be fitting for what the session may entail. I have a list of locations I will suggest but I am also open for what you may have in mind, that is the great thing about living in San Diego, we have so many beautiful options!
- Also keep in mind there is a lot of factors to consider when choosing a location, if the park/ facility charges a fee, the time of year (crowds, cold, etc..), so most of my choices will be the most fitting to create the best pictures for you.
What location would work best?
- My favorite time to shoot is in the evening about 1-2 hours before sunset. The early morning creates lovely lighting as well. Shooting during the early afternoon/times when the sun is highest in the sky will create harsh shadows on the face and body so I always suggest booking a time around 1-2 hours prior to sunset, depending on the location.
What time of day is best to book our session?
- What to wear: wear clothing that will compliment your scenery for a more cohesive look. Avoid big prints, loud colors, logos or words on the outfit. Do wear layers and accessories to complete your look.
- Stuck between 2 looks, or wanting to try something different but also want to wear something more safe? Bring a couple outfits to your session, as long as time permits outfit changes are no problem, just be sure you wear something youre comfortable in.
- Plan outfits to coordinate with each other more so than trying to perfectly match (such as using a mix of similar tones & textures vs everyone wearing white t-shirts).
- For ladies, I suggest getting your make-up and/or hair done, of course it is not necessary but feeling good will translate into your photos. Be sure to arrive on time, your session is scheduled in accordance to where is the sun is (which tends to be 1-2 hours before sunset) so it is important to arrive on time so we don't miss out on any lovely lighting.
- Remember to relax :) Keep in mind why you are photographing this moment and let that emotion come through. How you feel will translate into your photos so just remember to have fun and enjoy this moment!
How should we prepare for our session with you?
- I do offer mini sessions periodically for San Diego + Massachusetts locations. Best way to stay informed is by liking my facebook page.
Do you offer mini sessions?
- I always recommend using a pro photo lab for any prints, albums + canvases. You’ve invested your time, money + trust in your professional images, therefore you should have quality prints. Ordering your prints through non-pro labs (especially such places where you buy food + prescriptions) will leave you with inconsistent, sub-par quality results that can case your photos to have overly strong contrast, blurry photos, blown highlights, etc.
- I offer very affordable prints through your online gallery for 4x6, 5x7, + 8x12 prints, that are not only reasonably priced but also your photos are processed through a professional lab for quality results. Any print sizes over 8x10, contact me and I'll be happy to discuss available sizes + pricing.
Does it matter where I get my prints?
- Yes! Please contact me for a list of options + pricing.
Do you offer prints, albums or canvases?
- Yes, I try to plan 1-3 trips to Boston every year. I do offer limited sessions for the time frame I am home and typically always set up a day for mini sessions. Best way to stay informed of my travels is to like my facebook page.
