The short answer: wear whatever makes you feel good - whatever feels like you.

For Couples and Families, neutrals are always our best friend. You don’t have to match or wear a uniform, but sticking within a color family really helps. (This is mostly just to avoid one person showing up in hot pink while everyone else is in tan and white.) Neutral earthy tones (i.e. tans, whites, grays, browns, light blues, light greens, light yellows) work well with outdoor settings, since we’ll have limited control over the colors of our surroundings.

I love to do Couples and Family Photoshoots outdoors or in a studio rental of your choice, just because we can choose a location that is meaningful to you and because my home studio is too small for groups.

This is totally a personal preference! The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and authentic, so if you hate wearing makeup, maybe just opt for a lightweight tinted moisturizer or some sheer powder to reduce shiny spots.

I like do my own minimal makeup because I feel confident in my ability and I really enjoy doing it myself.

On the other hand, if you’re envisioning a specific look that you don’t feel confident achieving on your own, I think a HMUA is a really worthwhile self-investment. Check out my recs under the “Need Somethng Extra” block above.

Final edits will always be delivered in a downloadable online gallery, the link to which I’ll deliver via the email you provide. Gallery delivery time depends on the type of photoshoot, so I encourage you to refer to the details of the specific session you booked.

If you booked any kind of headshot session, yes! Because headshots are so specific, I always defer to you to narrow down your favorites. In all other sessions, however, I’ll choose the best photos for you. (This is because the galleries I deliver are so large!)

While I do edit every photo to a professional standard, I do not do body reshaping or heavy retouching. The extent of my editing includes spot-editing temporary blemishes, smoothing out skin texture, and perfecting lighting and coloring. I believe that natural and real is the most beautiful and authentic way to be photographed, and I feel that heavy retouching perpetuates false standards of beauty, so I choose not to do it.

If you booked any kind of headshot session, yes! Because headshots are so specific, I want you to keep all of your unedited shots, just in case your needs change down the road - this way you can always have a different shot edited later, without having to book a whole new session.

In all other sessions, however, I’ll choose the best photos to edit for you. This is because the galleries I deliver are already so large, and editing is important. I consider it unprofessional to leave a client with anything less than a finished product, and the unedited photos do not reflect the final product.

Yes! I don’t charge for travel within a 10-mile radius of Culver City, and beyond that radius, I only ask for compensation of $1/mile roundtrip.

For destination travel, send me and inquiry through my “Contact” page, and I’ll get back to you with a quote!

I absolutely want you to be excited about your weather conditions, so I always keep in touch with clients in the days preceding our shoot if the weather looks icky. Anything from cloudy to sunny is not something I reschedule for, but intense rain or unsafe weather is something I am happy to reschedule with no extra fees.
