Frequently Asked Questions

What type of photography do you specialize in?

I specialize in taking what might seem ordinary, and making it beautiful and compelling — wedding photography, engagement and couples photography, family portraits, fashion photography, and lifestyle content for brands. My work blends a cinematic, editorial aesthetic with authentic moments and natural connection.

Where are you based, and do you travel?

I'm based in San Luis Obispo on California's Central Coast and regularly work throughout San Luis Obispo County. I'm also available for destination projects, weddings, and commercial assignments anywhere travel costs are covered.

How would you describe your photographic style?

I describe my style as cinematic, candid, authentic, connective, editorial, and stylish. I aim to create imagery that feels natural and emotionally resonant while maintaining a polished visual aesthetic.

Do you photograph engagement sessions, elopements, and couples?

Absolutely. Engagement and couples sessions are some of my favorite projects because they allow space for genuine interaction and storytelling. My approach focuses on creating an experience that feels relaxed and natural rather than overly posed.

Do you offer beauty photography?

Yes. I work with individuals, models, actors, and brands to create beauty imagery with an editorial and cinematic feel. Sessions can be tailored around a specific concept, creative vision, or portfolio goal.

Do you offer family photography?

Yes. I photograph families of all sizes, focusing on authentic interactions and meaningful moments. My goal is to create images that feel timeless, personal, and reflective of real relationships.

What makes your approach different?

My background in marketing, brand design, and creative direction influences every project. Beyond taking photographs, I enjoy developing concepts, shaping visual narratives, and helping clients feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera.

What locations do you recommend for photo sessions on the Central Coast?

The Central Coast offers incredible variety, from beaches and coastal cliffs to vineyards, oak-covered hills, and historic downtown settings. I help select locations based on the mood, aesthetic, and story a client wants the images to communicate.

What if I'm not comfortable in front of the camera?

Most people I photograph are not professional models. I provide direction throughout the session and create an environment that feels comfortable and collaborative, allowing natural expressions and genuine moments to emerge.

Can pets be included in a photo session?

Yes. Pets are always welcome when appropriate for the session. They often add personality, spontaneity, and meaningful moments to the final images.

How much do sessions cost?

Sessions generally start at $300. Pricing varies depending on the type of session, location, duration, and creative requirements. The best way to start is by reaching out through the contact form above with details about the project, preferred dates, location, and goals. From there, I can provide availability, recommendations, and next steps tailored to the specific project.
