FAQs

What should I wear?
Short answer: What makes you feel like yourself - or the self you want to be. Long answer: the 60-minute consultation buys you personalized styling guidance that takes into account what you feel most confident in and what photographs the best for the lighting design and location. Whether you love fashion or not, I make it easy and accessible for you.
What's a hand-painted canvas?
Hand-painted canvases are backdrops that have been expertly painted by artists to create beautiful and natural tone and texture. It's what renowned editorial and portrait photographers like Annie Leibovitz, Lindsay Adler, and Jerry Ghionis use. I currently have 6 hand-painted backdrops with more on the way. I use these often for executive, legacy, entertainer, and artistic portraits.
Where's your studio?
Wherever you need me to be. I have a fully equipped mobile studio allowing me the flexibility to shoot at any of the major studio spaces in the Los Angeles area, or on location at your home, business, or set. Note that additional travel, permit, and location rental fees may be required in some situations.
Do you use AI?
Sparingly. We all do. It's how I make the guy in the Speedo who wandered into your beach portrait disappear. I do not use it to create backgrounds or change your physical features. Those enhancements are all done with set design, lighting design, and expert posing to maintain your personal authenticity and integrity. You're not paying for a headshot with AI manipulation, you're paying for an experience that says "I was there, and I created."
What are your payment terms?
$400 non-refundable deposit, applied to your total, plus 50% of the balance at booking. Remaining 50% of balance due on day of session.
Do you offer payment plans?
Not at this time.
What is your cancellation policy?
Full refund (minus the nonrefundable deposit) if cancelled 2 weeks before scheduled session. No refund if cancellation is less than 2 weeks.
What if I need to reschedule?
Not a problem! Life happens. One schedule change is free; after that, deposit is nonrefundable and a new booking + deposit needs to be made. Please note that client will be billed for any nonrefundable permit fees and costs associated with changing or cancelling studio and location bookings.
What's the reveal appointment and what can I expect?
The reveal is when we sit down together (virtually or at my studio) and pick the images that will go to edit. It's an exciting moment when you see your images for the first time! Chances are you'll love much more than you thought you would - and I'm always there to help you pick the best. We also discuss your print products and any special editing requests for your images.
What are your turnaround times?
Galleries are delivered 1-2 weeks after the reveal appointment. Rush (24-hour or less) edits are available for a $100/image rate.
Can I bring my partner, child, or pet?
Yes! Each additional subject can be added to the original session for $400/each.
