Portrait Sessions

We love documenting every stage of life and offer many types of photo locations all over Southern California.

We believe in completely honest and fully transparent pricing.

Do you offer wedding photography?

We were wedding photographers for 14 years and are now happily retired. But we can absolutely provide excellent referrals with similar styles to our work.

Please reach out via email for referrals :)

Portrait FAQs

  • All sessions include edited, high resolution images delivered via an online gallery on Shootproof with unlimited personal use rights and printing rights.

  • Typically I announce holiday minis in July/August of that year. I have decided to skip doing them in years past so if you don’t see any announcements on my socials, feel free to email me to set up your own mini session.

  • Standard sessions include 150-400 photos and mini sessions include 20-50 photos.

  • I have a list of my favorite locations here! But don’t let that limit you, we are always down to try new spots as long as they allow professional photography sessions. Also if you want to do the beach, please see this page about lighting at the beach.

  • The session fees listed above DO NOT include any travel, permit, entrance or parking fees that may apply to your session location. Some locations may require these extra fees. Please inquire for more specifics!

  • We accept cash, check, and credit card. We prefer cash or check as we have to pay fees for Credit Card transactions.

  • On or before the day of the session. However, permit fees must be paid in advance of the session in order to secure the permit beforehand.

  • Generally it takes 10+ working hours to cull, straighten, color correct, touch up, edit, upload and send a gallery. We also usually have a backlog of editing to complete before editing your shoot. Time estimates are listed on each contract and we are also in communication with you to give you an ETA for your photos.

  • As soon as possible, to avoid conflicts! The latest we will book a shoot is one week before.

  • Nope! Because, honestly, it is wayyy cheaper for you to do them yourself! We can absolutely recommend places for you to do your own DIY albums or prints. We cannot provide any  physical products of our work without charging sales tax on both the products and your entire photography fee.
