FAQ

How do I book a shoot?

Booking is super simple. Head to my Contact/Book a Shoot page, fill out the inquiry form with a few details about the type of session you’re looking for, and I’ll email you back with available dates and next steps. Once you’re ready, you’ll receive a proposal and invoice to officially reserve your spot on my calendar.

How many images will I receive?

For most senior and family sessions, you can expect around 80+ edited images from a one-hour session. Elopements and micro weddings include more coverage and therefore more images.
All final photos are delivered in an online gallery where you can download, share, and order prints.

Where are you based?

I’m based in the beautiful Eastern Sierra Mountains, with Bishop, CA as my main hub. From this stunning location, I have access to breathtaking landscapes that make the perfect backdrop for your photos. Whether you're in Bishop or the surrounding areas, I'm here to capture your moments in nature’s finest setting!

We’re awkward in front of the camera. Can you help with that?

Absolutely. Almost everyone says this.
I won’t just stick you in stiff poses and walk away. I’ll give you simple prompts and direction so you’re moving, laughing, and interacting in a way that feels natural. My goal is for you to leave saying, “That was actually fun,” not “That was painful and weird.”

Where do the sessions take place?

Most sessions happen outdoors in the Eastern Sierra, where we’re spoiled with mountains, meadows, sagebrush, and big open skies.
Once you book, I’ll help you choose a location that fits your vision. Whether that’s wildflower fields, the lakes, the desert, or something a little more off the beaten path. For elopements, we’ll talk through a few spot options based on accessibility, light, and time of year.

Do we need to have any prior experience in front of the camera?

Not at all! Most couples and families are not professional models, and it is completely normal to feel a bit camera shy. I will guide and direct you throughout the session, making you feel comfortable and helping you naturally showcase your love and connection.

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes. To reserve your date, I require a non-refundable retainer, with the remaining balance due before your session or event. If you’d like to split the remaining amount into smaller payments, we can absolutely set up a simple payment plan through my online booking system.

What should we wear?

Don’t stress—I’ve got you.
After you book, I’ll send over a what-to-wear guide with tips on colors, layers, and outfit ideas that photograph well in this area. I’m happy to help you narrow things down, too: you can always send me photos of outfits and I’ll give honest feedback so you feel confident and comfortable.

What happens if the weather is bad?

We live in the mountains, so weather can do its own thing. A little wind or cloud cover can actually be beautiful, but if we’re looking at unsafe conditions or a complete downpour, we’ll chat about rescheduling to a safer, better day.
For elopements, we’ll talk through backup timing and locations in advance so we’re not scrambling the week of your ceremony.

Do you help with planning for elopements?

Yes! For elopements and micro weddings, I’ll help with:
Location ideas and general guidance
A simple photo timeline that fits your ceremony, portraits, and any small celebration afterward
Suggestions for the best time of day for light
I’m not a full-service planner, but I’m very much in your corner and here to make the day feel relaxed and doable, not overwhelming.
