Introduction

(Please serious inquiries only or please message me on instagram if shopping around. I pay for all the messages I receive on here!) Hello there! I am a very social, artistic & adventurous person, and I love photographing others. I focus on individual, maternity, couples, families, engagements and wedding/elopement portraits. I capture candid moments in between of posed moments but most importantly capturing your beauty & emotions that you feel during our time together. I take what I do as an art, finding ways to be creative, get different angles & capture you in the setting as best as I can. My edits are slightly warm with high contrast and sharpness, true tone and true to color and I remove unwanted background distractions, smoothen the skin, and remove blemishes. For outdoors sessions I am available WEEKENDS only around sunset time. I photograph only between 2 hours before sunset till twilight hour (after sunset). Try to inquire at least 2 weeks in advance for the best availability (especially for weekends). However I may be able to book last minute sessions as I do leave every other weekend on my calender available. I know of many beautiful places in California, I go to beaches, the snow, lakes, mountains, deserts, sand dunes, National parks & cities. I do not have a studio but studio sessions can be booked at any studio for rent in Riverside or Los Angeles area but I can also travel to homes for in home sessions. These sessions can take place in the morning till noon. You are responsible for paying the rental fees. I serve Riverside County, San Bernardino County, Orange County, San diego County & LA county but can travel anywhere in California and out of state/out of the country. I have traveled to Europe 3 times in my life & know of lots of beautiful places that I would love to photograph lovely people at especially In Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, & Switzerland. Thank you for considering me to be your photographer, God bless you!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

Sessions start at $425 for 1 hour sessions. Check out my website or email me for wedding & events. I DO NOT OFFER DISCOUNTS

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

You can book directly through my website link or I ask what the photo session is for, tell you my package options, we choose a date/location that works for both of us, I give you my prefer times for that date, then we finalize the booking with a deposit & I book you through my website. You will receive a confirmation email with the details & updates on payments. We can do all of this through text, call or email I am very flexible. Full balance needs to be paid on the day of the session. Pictures are then delivered within 2 weeks after the session through an online gallery. Galleries for events have a return time of 3 weeks or more depending on how many hours the event was.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

Been using my camera since 2014 on adventures, travel, and family outings. I am very confident with my composition, lighting, & posing others. I have learned a lot through workshops, other photographers, Youtube, instagram and hands on learning/experience.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

2014 bought my first camera and loved taking photos of my adventures and travels. I also was always asked by friends and family to photograph their life moments. I finally decided to make it a career in 2020.

What types of customers have you worked with?

Clients of all backgrounds, I also speak Spanish. I photograph a lot of couples and maternity clients but also do birthdays, headshots, lifestyle, portraits, candid, adventure, travel, wedding, & event photography.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Engagement session in the sand dunes, we walked around the sand for 2 hours photographing with the sunset. It was a 3 hour drive 1 way but it was so fantastic, fun, and the photos came out beautiful.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Always be specific with your budget, the type of session you desire and the location or ideas of a location. Try and book 2 weeks- 1 month ahead and have alternative dates. Tell your professional what you are expecting out of your session for the best experience and be respectful.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

How many hours, how many photos they need, do you need a specific location, want advice on picking out locations, will you have outfit changes, time (I prefer sunset time), want posed or more candid session & how many people will be photographed. Plan ahead for the date since it is best to book 1 month in advance and if you need photos edited and delivered by a specific date note that too. I take up to 3 weeks to have your photos edited and sent. Prints can be 1 week to 10 days longer.
