Q: How would you describe your style of photography?
In three words: organic, film-inspired, and fun. I aim to capture personalities, beautiful light, and artistic moments. Every image is a piece of art, and I hope my clients see it that way too.
Q: Are you available for travel?
Yes! While I limit travel throughout the year, I absolutely love to explore new places, so don’t hesitate to ask. Travel within Sacramento and Placer Counties is included in all sessions.
Q: What gear do you use?
I shoot with professional Canon equipment, including the 5D Mark IV, 5D Mark III, and 60D as a backup. My favorite lenses include the Sigma 35mm Art f/1.4, Canon 85mm f/1.8, Canon 70-200mm f/4L, and more. Rest assured, your photos are captured with top-notch tools!
Q: Do you shoot weddings?
As of August 2014, I’ve shifted my focus to families, seniors, and newborns. However, I take on up to 3 weddings per year by referral only. Need a great wedding photographer? I’d be happy to recommend some talented friends!
Q: Why did you start doing photography?
Photography allows us to freeze a moment in time forever, and that’s something I deeply appreciate. I wanted to create these lasting memories—not just for myself and my family—but for others to cherish for decades. Photos transport me back to moments, places, and feelings, making life feel richer and more complete.
Q: What do you love photographing the most?
People and personalities! I love capturing emotion and connection. Scenic places inspire me too, but I find photographs without a person or animal lose some of their magic.
Q: When do you typically schedule outdoor sessions?
I usually hold sessions on weekends, which works well for most clients. Timing depends on the season:
- Fall/Winter: Afternoon sessions around 3 PM
- Spring/Summer: Late afternoon/early evening (5–6 PM)
This ensures we capture that dreamy golden hour light.
Q: When should I book a maternity session?
The sweet spot for maternity sessions is between 28–34 weeks, when your belly is beautifully round, but you still feel comfortable. Every mom is different, so some may prefer earlier (28–32 weeks), while others wait until 36–38 weeks. It’s best to book 1–2 weeks in advance, but I do leave space for last-minute sessions if needed—just reach out!
Q: What should I wear to my portrait session?
Here’s a general guide:
- Avoid matching outfits (like jeans and black polos!).
- Choose colorful pieces, fun accessories, and mild patterns.
- No logos or brand names—they can date your photos.
- Bring 2 outfits: one casual and one dressier.
For couples or engagement sessions, professional hair and makeup can make a big difference, helping your features pop!
Props are welcome too—think picnic blankets, vintage cameras, books, instruments, or anything that reflects your personality and lifestyle. Let’s create something uniquely you!
Q: Do you choose the session location?
The choice is yours! You know your style and comfort zone best. If you’d like suggestions, I’m happy to help brainstorm ideas to find the perfect backdrop.
