I always recommend dressing up in whatever makes you feel comfortable and you. If you're not the kind of person to wear a dress and heels, you probably should skip out on that because if you don't feel like yourself, it'll show in the photos (although I can turn that around, but still - it's more fun to just be you!). I recommend having at least 2 different outfits, no more than 3, to spice things up during your session. If you need outfit suggestion, I am more than happy to help!

I always like to suggest places or areas that have a lot of meaning to you. It could be the place where you got engaged, in the city you first met, your favorite scenery like the beach or a forest, or even your own home! These are just some ideas. Or, it can be somewhere that just looks awesome - nothing wrong with doing a session that has no meaning other than it being a place you've always wanted to go to!

Please note: there is an additional fee for sessions that are more than 75 miles outside of Santa Rosa or Union City, CA.

I'm currently based in Sonoma County (specifically Santa Rosa, CA), but I'm available to travel to wherever your love takes me (with an additional travel and accommodation fee)! My passport is ready to go!

Cat, horse, llama, turtle -- whatever the creature (except for maybe snakes & tarantulas...because blegchk!) -- YESSSS!!!!! As long as our session is located in a pet-friendly area. If you plan to bring your pet, I HIGHLY recommend bringing someone along to help supervise your pet for photos that won't require them, or to get their attention to "look at the camera," or if they get antsy and would rather play than "sit" for a photo.

Your will receive an online gallery link with all your photos within maximum 8 weeks (sometimes less depending on the season I photograph your story). You can download all the photos from the gallery but also share them, choose your favorites, and also order prints!

You'll receive between 150-250 photos that best tells the story of you and your love.

If you have me as your wedding photographer, your engagement & bridal session photos will be included in the USB that comes with your wedding package.

If you book me for only these sessions (so not including a wedding), a USB is NOT included since the final delivery is smaller in quantity and can be easily downloaded from your online gallery, compared to wedding photos. But if you would like to purchase a USB, it's an additional $75. Pricing includes packaging & shipping costs.

I only do mini-sessions twice a year and with limited sign-ups. Because the time of mini-sessions is so short, it doesn't make much sense for me to book a mini session by itself. If you'd like to be kept up-to-date on when mini-session signups happen, join my email list!
