Frequently Asked Questions
-
I’m based in Southern California and am available throughout Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego and beyond!
Whether you’re planning something coastal, intimate, editorial, romantic, or a little unexpected, I’m always happy to help with location ideas and create a setting that feels effortless, intentional, and true to your vision.
-
Yes, I’m available for select travel weddings, sessions, and events.
Travel fees may apply depending on the location, timeline, and amount of coverage needed. If you’re planning something outside of Southern California, I’d love to hear all about it! Send over the details through my contact form and we can start dreaming something up together.
-
I offer wedding photography, couples and engagement sessions, maternity, family and lifestyle portraits, event coverage, content creation, film photography, and Super 8 video.
My approach is rooted in storytelling - capturing people, connection, movement, emotion, and the in-between moments in a way that feels timeless, intentional, and deeply personal. Whether I’m documenting a wedding day, a growing family, or an intimate season of life, my goal is always to preserve the feeling of it all with imagery that feels elevated, honest and full of life.
You can explore all offerings in more detail on my services page.
-
Yes — experiences can be thoughtfully customized with optional enhancements including film photography, Super 8 video, camcorder coverage, content creation, client closet access, priority gallery delivery, and the Polaroid Heirloom Album.
These offerings are designed to add additional layers of storytelling, nostalgia, and personalization to your experience.
-
My style is timeless, romantic, candid, and editorial with a nostalgic, film-inspired feel.
I’m drawn to imagery that feels elevated yet effortless - the kind that captures genuine emotion, natural movement, meaningful details, and the quiet in-between moments that often become the most memorable.
Rather than overly posed perfection, my approach focuses on creating imagery that feels honest, emotional, and artfully documented so your photos feel timeless and meaningful for years to come.
-
I offer both digital photography and film coverage.
Digital allows for flexibility, reliability, and full storytelling coverage throughout weddings, sessions, and events, while film brings an organic, nostalgic, and beautifully imperfect quality that feels timeless and deeply sentimental.
I also offer Super 8 video for couples and clients wanting movement and emotion captured in a way that feels cinematic, nostalgic, and reminiscent of vintage home movies.
Depending on your vision, we can talk through what combination of digital, film and Super 8 feels most aligned with your story.
You can learn more about my film photography and Super 8 offerings on my services page.
-
Film is naturally more unpredictable than digital, and that imperfect, nostalgic quality is part of what makes it so special and timeless.
Because film relies on vintage cameras, physical film rolls, and third-party developing labs, results may vary and cannot be guaranteed in the same way as digital imagery. In the rare event that film coverage cannot be delivered due to camera, film, lab or processing issues, the film portion of your package will be reimbursed, excluding the cost of film, materials, and development.
-
The number of final images depends on the type of session, amount of coverage, timeline, location, and natural flow of the day.
Rather than limiting galleries to a strict number, my focus is on delivering a thoughtfully, well-rounded collection that tells the full story - the big moments, the quiet in-between ones, the details, the emotion, and everything that made your day feel uniquely yours.
-
Yes - every final image in your gallery is thoughtfully and professionally edited to reflect my signature style.
My editing approach focuses on timeless tones, natural emotion, flattering color, and consistency throughout your gallery while still preserving the genuine feeling and atmosphere of the day. The goal is always for your images to feel elevated, honest and beautiful for years to come.
-
I know how exciting it is to relive your memories, so I always do my best to deliver your gallery as quickly as possible while still giving every image the attention it deserves.
For regular sessions (family, couple, maternity, etc.) galleries are typically delivered within 4-6 weeks, with sneak peeks sent within 48-72 hours after your session.
Wedding galleries are delivered within 6-8 weeks, with sneak peeks sent shortly after your wedding day so you have something beautiful to share while your full galley is being carefully finalized.
-
Yes - fine art prints and heirloom albums are available directly through your online gallery after delivery.
You also have the option to add the Polaroid Heirloom Album to any experience — a curated collection of instant Polaroid photographs captured throughout your session or celebration and thoughtfully placed into a keepsake album for you to take home the very same day.
This makes it easy to turn your favorite images into timeless keepsakes you can hold, display, revisit, and pass down for years to come. Your memories deserve to live somewhere more meaningful than just a screen.
-
Fill out the details on the contact form - location, styling, overall vibe and everything in between.
I’ll be there throughout the entire process to help guide you, answer questions and assist with outfit styling so your session feels effortless and true to you.
I also offer access to a client closet featuring a curated collection of beautiful gowns available in a variety of sizes for an additional rental fee.
-
Content creation is short-form, behind-the-scenes style coverage captured on a phone or small camera, delivered within 24-48 hours after your event so you can relive and share your memories almost instantly.
It’s perfect for weddings, events, brands, and anyone who wants candid, real-time moments to share. Think behind-the-scenes clips, vertical videos, social-ready moments, little details, and the fun energy of the day.
Content creation is not the same as full videography. It is not meant to replace a professional wedding film. Instead, it focuses on quick-turnaround, casual, social-style content that lets you relive and share the day almost instantly.
-
A non-refundable retainer is required to officially reserve your date, with the remaining balance due according to your contract.
Once you’re ready to book, I’ll send over the payment details, contract, and everything you need to make it official. Dates are officially reserved once the signed contract and retainer have been received.
-
Cancellation and rescheduling terms are outlined in your contract.
Because your date is reserved specifically for you, and I may turn away other inquiries for that time, retainers are typically non-refundable. If something unexpected comes up, please reach out as soon as possible so we can talk through your options.
