Portrait sessions

A portrait session feels to me like a magical container that I co-create with my clients. It's like stepping into a love bubble where authenticity and connection live. The shoot itself becomes a unique and special moment leaving my clients feeling seen and empowered. To have the privilege of preserving that energy in timeless photos is so special to me, it's a way to eternalize the essence of that beautiful experience, ensuring that the warmth and magic captured in those images will be cherished forever.

Some portrait sessions I offer and love:

Artists in their Home or Studio

Family Photos

Lovebirds

Engagement

Maternity

Graduation

Empowered Boudoir

Lifestyle and Fashion

I always shoot digital as well as offer medium format and 35mm film, which adds a soft, dreamy look and feeling to photos. I always offer creative direction and help gently guide you through our shoot with care.

Rates

My rate for a portrait session is $800 and includes:

  • Dreaming up and discussing your vision for the shoot or coming up with one together over a phone call before the shoot

  • Up to 2 looks

  • A special portrait session where I help guide, create and capture these special moments. It’s incredibly important to me to create a warm, easygoing environment so that you feel safe, seen and empowered in front of the camera and allows me to capture the real you.

  • Digital photos and up to 2 rolls of film (includes processing and regular resolution scans from my favorite family-owned lab)

  • An image gallery with at least 45 edited, high quality photos (delivered within 2 weeks)

Extra notes:

Traveling: I love traveling and am happy to come to you! My travel rates vary depending on if I’m driving an hour out of LA or across the country - we can discuss this when going over your shoot

Additional rolls and high resolution scans are available for additional fee

A non-refundable deposit is required at the time of booking

Shoot dates can totally be rescheduled, I know things come up, just try to give as much notice as possible
