My mom and dad eloped when they were 18 & 26. They took their two best friends, drove up to Reno, Nevada and got married at a little chapel. My mom told me she wore a brown wool dress and it was the hottest day in July. I love my mom and dad's wedding story - I love that they couldn't wait to commit to each other and now after 50 years they are still each other's best friend.
I wish I had photos of their wedding day. I wish I could see their first kiss, my mom's smile as she said I do & my dad's face when he slipped a ring on her finger. While I can imagine all of it, I wish I could hang my wedding photos next to my parents for the next generation of our family to see.
This is my why & why photography matters. It documents your legacy, it helps tell your story, it's proof of a life well lived, well loved and well celebrated.
your story deserves to be photographed.

Answer:
Picking your outfit can be one of the most challenging parts of a photoshoot. To help couples and families out with outfit planning, I provide a style guide that helps you navigate your closet. It goes over all my tips and tricks on where to get started and what looks best on camera.
Answer:
Depending on the package you chose, you are welcome to any location in the Bay Area! Sometimes I have clients who have a location picked out right away, but if you need a little support finding the right spot for you, I provide a full location guide filled with Bay Area location inspiration.
Answer:
It depends on the package you chose! As a personal rule of thumb, I will deliver 35-40 photos for every hour (60 minutes) of coverage.
Answer:
For weddings, you can expect your online gallery delivered 4-8 weeks after your event. For couples and family sessions, your online gallery will be delivered in 2-4 weeks.
Answer:
Heck yes, I do. I love small weddings and elopement and like to think of myself as a SF City Hall regular. Elopements start at $800.00.
Answer:
After we chat a little to see if we are a good fit for eachother, then I will send over a proposal for you to review! Within that proposal you'll have your see the selected package, the invoice, the contract and place to pay your deposit. A 25% non-refundable deposit is due upfront to hold your date. The remainder of your balance will be due 1 week prior to your event.
Answer:
The earliest I take bookings is 9 months out! At this time I am not able to do holds or create waitlists for certain days outside of that year time frame. But that doesn't mean I don't want to hear from you! We can still chat about your wedding day and what you want it to look like!
Answer:
I live and work in Pleasanton, California. I will travel anywhere in the Bay Area for session & am available for state-wide travel! Also, if you want a destination wedding in Italy, please call me. :)
Answer:
To keep my business open and help slow the spread, I adhere to Santa Clara County's guidelines. All sessions will be held outdoors. I will wear a mask and ask that you do as well as we walk from location to location. Hand sanitizer will be brought & I will bring a longer lens to keep distance. I ask that if you are not feeling well or have symptoms that you let me know ASAP so we can reschedule.
Answer:
I offer half sessions. Once you inquire about booking, I'll provide a pricing guide that goes over the types of sessions I offer - one being a half session. I offer mini's once a year & notify previous clients first on when they will be available.
Answer:
Unfortunately, not anymore. But I do work with some small businesses who need images for branding material. Please email if you are a brand looking to connect for a branding session.
