The retainer fee is required to secure your date on my calendar. The retainer fee is non-refundable. This fee is applied towards your total amount.
Please note that prices will periodically change. I will honor the price set at the time you book your session. Your session is officially booked when you sign the contract and pay the retainer fee.

how it works
Your edited photos will be ready within 2-3 weeks after the session. If you require them sooner, you can opt for a rush delivery upgrade for a faster turnaround.
To reserve your session date, a $200 non-refundable retainer is required at the time of booking. Your session is not officially booked, and your date will not be held, until this payment is received. The remaining balance is due a few days before your session. Please note that editing will not begin, and no images will be delivered, until your session is paid in full.
How long will it take to receive the edited photos?
How do I book, and when is payment due?
Yes, you are welcome to bring props or pets to personalize your session. Please inform me in advance so I can plan accordingly.
Can we bring pets or props to the session?
Each collection includes high-resolution digital files, delivered through a private online gallery. Once your gallery is ready, you’ll also have access to my professional print store where you can easily order high-quality prints, albums, and wall art. You'll also receive a print release, which gives you permission to download your images and print them at any lab of your choice, for personal use.
Will I receive digital images, prints, or both?
It depends on the Collection you purchase. For Collections 1 and 2 you will receive a full gallery of images. This means you will receive all of the images that I think are good. You will get a minimum of 75 images for collection 1 and a minimum of 50 for collection 2. For collection 3 you will receive about 50 images as a proof gallery. You will select your final 20 from that proof gallery.
How many photos will be I receive and do I get to choose?
If the weather is truly unsuitable for your session — like heavy rain or high-gust winds — we’ll absolutely reschedule to a better date. That said, sessions will still move forward if it’s just a little cloudy or breezy.
If you or a family member is sick, please let me know as soon as possible. We’ll work together to find a new date that works for both of us. All rescheduled sessions must be mutually agreed upon based on my availability.
What happens if I need to reschedule due to illness or weather?
I have a curated list of beautiful locations throughout San Luis Obispo County. Once you book your session, I’ll send you a detailed location guide with my top recommendations. We’ll chat about the vibe you’re going for, and I’ll help you choose the perfect spot to match your style and vision.
What locations do you recommend?
Choose comfortable outfits that reflect your family's style. Coordinating colors without being too matchy often looks great in photos. Once you book your session, I will send you a style guide that includes several vision boards to help you with outfit selection.
