✨ What should I wear? ✨

I always recommend soft neutrals, earthy tones, creams, muted florals and textures that photograph beautifully in golden hour light. I’m happy to help with outfit coordination before your session!

✨ Where are sessions held? ✨

Most sessions take place outdoors around Chico, Vina, Durham and surrounding Northern California areas. I love open fields, oak trees, orchards, and warm golden light.

✨ What time are sessions? ✨

Most sessions are scheduled during golden hour - about 1-2 hours before sunset - for the softest, dreamiest lighting.

✨ How long does a session last? ✨

Most full sessions last around 45-60 minutes. Mini sessions are shorter and vary depending on the event.

✨ What if my kids don’t cooperate? ✨

That’s completely okay! I focus on capturing connection and genuine moments rather than perfectly posed photos. Some of the sweetest moments come from the in-between moments.

✨ How long is turnaround time? ✨

Typical gallery turnaround is around 2-3 weeks, through sneak peeks are often shared sooner!

✨ Do you help with posing? ✨

Absolutely! I’ll gently guide you the entire session while still keeping things natural and relaxed.

✨ Can we bring pets? ✨

Yes! Well-behaved pets are always welcome and can make sessions even more personal and fun.

✨ Do you offer branding sessions? ✨

Yes! I love creating warm, lifestyle-driven branding imagery for small businesses, makers, boutiques, and local brands.

✨ What happens if weather is bad? ✨

If weather conditions aren’t ideal, we’ll reschedule for the next available date that works for both of us.

✨ Do you require a deposit? ✨

A non-refundable retainer is required to secure your session date.
