Between school photos, the DMV, and passports, we’ve been trained.
Picture time sucks.
Of COURSE it does: You wait an hour to be immortalized looking—and feeling—like a pigeon just shat in your sandwich. Awesome.
Here’s how I redesigned the photoshoot booking process so it’s easy as trying and buying clothes at a luxe boutique:
- Decide
- Book
- Shoot
- Receive
Decide
- I share my rates, process, and personality. Only good surprises.
- I keep costs simple and easy to remember. Packages are not.
Book
- Book and pay in one step. The refundable deposit reduces no-shows, which makes me more available for you.
- I cover essentials on the intake form so we can jump right to the fun stuff on Zoom.
Shoot
- I teach you tricks you’ll use in every photo for the rest of your life.
- Choice paralysis slows you down. We sort as we go—together. Expect a dozen or so killer shots at the end.
- Your proofing gallery’s on your phone before you step outside.
Pick & Receive
- Mark your favorites in the gallery. Get them a few days later in all social crops, and high-res for print. Creative loves hearing from you.
- My archives are impeccable. Need fresh files a year from now? I got you.
Think of me as your expert, attendant, and tailor in one. The rack just gets us started, and everything—from color recs to custom-fitting—is made on the spot for you.
I shoot out of my studio in Oakland's Temescal neighborhood and work with clients from all over Oakland, Berkeley, and the East Bay. The whole experience is designed to be as easy as possible, wherever you're coming from.
