Choose Your Family Portrait Experience
Family sessions are up to one hour, with plenty of time to relax, have fun, and create a great variety of portraits. We’ll photograph the whole family together, the kids together and individually, mom and dad, and a mix of posed portraits and more natural, candid moments. Studio sessions can include two outfit changes and as many backdrop changes as we can comfortably fit in, while outdoor, beach, and mountain sessions give us plenty of variety just by moving around and using the scenery.
Your session fee reserves your date and covers the time and planning that go into creating your portraits, including help preparing for your session, use of the studio, your photography time, image preparation, and your personalized ordering appointment. Prints, wall art, albums, and digital images are purchased separately, with portrait collections beginning at $550.
After your session, we’ll meet for your ordering appointment where you’ll see your finished portraits for the first time, choose the ones you love most, and decide how you’d like to enjoy them in your home.

Can you recommend a good location to shoot?
Yes, I have several recommendations for beautiful photo shoot locations around Temecula, Murrieta, Menifee, as well as locations in San Diego and Orange County.
Why are outdoor sessions only available in the evening?
Outdoor sessions are scheduled during the hour before sunset, often referred to as the golden hour. This is when the light is soft, warm, and most flattering, creating the beautiful glow and timeless look you see throughout my portfolio.
Photographing during golden hour also helps us avoid the harsh midday sun, strong shadows, and squinting that can occur earlier in the day. The result is more natural expressions, beautiful skin tones, and elegant, light-filled portraits you'll love for years to come.
Do you offer weekends?
Yes, limited weekend appointments are available upon request for an additional fee. To maintain a healthy work-life balance, I reserve most weekends for my family, so weekend availability is limited and tends to book well in advance.
Whenever possible, I recommend scheduling your session on a weekday. Weekday sessions are typically more relaxed, with fewer crowds at popular locations, less competition with other photographers, and a quieter atmosphere that allows us to create beautiful, uninterrupted portraits.
