Each person I photograph is unique and so is each session I shoot.
Every session has its own excitement, freshness, and energy.
I strive to capture the essence of each individual and tell a story with my images.
During our pre-session consultation I like to discuss your thoughts and ideas for your images.
I feel incorporating the personality of the clients in their session produces the most amazing and beautiful images.
We will also discuss wardrobe suggestions, various packages & pricing, as well as location choices for your session.
Most sessions are 1 to 2 hours long with the exception of newborn sessions which can be up to 3 hours.
I never schedule more then 3 or 4 sessions in a day to allow plenty of time for a relaxed and fun session.
Sessions are held at either my studio in Laguna Niguel or at an agreed upon location in Orange, San Diego, or Los Angeles Counties.
Maternity Sessions should be scheduled between the 32nd and the 38th week for optimal tummy images.
Pregnancy is beautiful and natural so showing skin and the glow of expecting a baby makes wonderful images.
However, what is most important is the comfort and desires of the mom-to-be.
Newborn Sessions should be scheduled for between 5 days & 4 weeks after birth.
Babies this young are still very new, very sleepy, and easy to pose.
This is a special session and often takes up to 3 hours.
However it is very relaxed and paced at the baby’s needs.
I like to allow plenty of time for feedings, changing, and little breaks.
