This is Orange County portrait photography that actually means something. Scroll through a few recent sessions below, and if the work feels like you, hit Inquire to start planning yours.
Session Details & Pricing
Portrait sessions last up to 2 hours, giving us plenty of time to settle in, explore different spots, and create a range of images without feeling rushed. This extra time also helps if outfit changes, lighting shifts, or younger kids are involved. I’ll guide you through everything, so even if you’re not used to being in front of the camera, the session will feel natural and well-paced from start to finish.
I. SESSION LENGTH & FLOW
Every session comes with location planning, guidance on timing and lighting, professionally edited high-resolution images, and a private online gallery for viewing, sharing, and downloading. I shoot outdoors or in and around your home—whichever setting best fits your style and story. The experience is built to feel relaxed, personal, and creatively tailored to you.
II. WHAT’S INCLUDED
Portrait sessions start at $500. To reserve your date, a 50% retainer is due at booking, with the remaining balance paid on the day of your session. Custom quotes are available if you're planning something longer, want to include multiple people or locations, or have a specific creative direction in mind. You’ll receive clear details up front—no surprises.
