Photography Services & Pricing
Outdoor portrait sessions for families, couples and individuals across the Bay Area. Natural light, real locations, no studio.
Whether you're after beautiful family photos, portraits you're genuinely proud of, or coverage of something active and outdoors — I photograph real moments in real places. No studios, no stiff poses, just natural light and locations that actually look like somewhere.

What’s Included in Every Session
Every session comes with these essentials. No hidden fees, no surprise charges—just comprehensive coverage and support from start to finish.
Pre-session consultation We'll discuss your vision, location preferences, what to wear, and logistics.
Location scouting & recommendations — I know the Bay Area's best spots from formal gardens to coastal spots to more distinctive urban and industrial locations.
Professional editing — Color correction, exposure balancing, and natural retouching.
High-resolution digital images — Full print rights included for personal use.
Private online gallery — Easy viewing, downloading, and sharing with family.
Printing guidance — Recommendations for labs, sizing, and framing.
Choosing your location
Many clients come with a place already in mind — somewhere that holds meaning, or a look they've seen and want to recreate. Others want a recommendation. Either works.
I know the Bay Area's gardens, parks, coastlines and open spaces well enough to match a location to what you're after — whether that's a formal garden, a dramatic coastal spot, or something more urban and accessible. During our consultation I'll suggest two or three options based on your style and what you want from the images.
Do I need a Shot List?
You don't need a detailed shot list, but a few ideas help shape the session. Common requests include: - Walking together (always a winner) - Close-up details (hands, rings, expressions) - Wide environmental portraits showing the landscape - Movement shots (running, playing, exploring) - Quiet intimate moments If you have must-have images, mention them during our consultation and I'll make sure we capture them. Otherwise, I'll guide the session based on the light, location, and your natural interactions.
