FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are you licensed and insured?

 
  • Yes, I am both licensed and insured.
  • I am happy to provide a certificate of insurance if your wedding/event venue requires it. Please let me know at least 2 weeks prior to your event so that I have enough time to order one.
 
What kind of equipment do you use?  
  • I use a Canon 5D as my primary camera and a Canon 40D as a secondary/back-up camera. Both are digital cameras. I also use a variety of Canon lenses, flashes, and accessories.
 
Do you have a studio?  
  • No. All photo sessions take place at a location of your choice (within San Diego County). Possible locations are parks, beaches, residences, etc.
 
How many images do you take during a photo shoot?  
  • I take as many photos as time and circumstances allow. The number of images will vary depending on the package you have selected.
 
When will my photos be available online for viewing?  
  • Photos from portrait session will be available within 1 week of the shoot.
  • Photos from weddings and other events will be available within 2 weeks of the event.
  • Photos will be available for a minimum of 2 months. Additional time may be available upon request.
 
What should I wear to my photo shoot?  
  • Solid colors are best.
  • Avoid distracting patterns.
  • Coordinated outfits work for engagement and family photos.
  • Wear styles that best reflect your personality and the "look" that you are going for.
 
Can I have more than one outfit for the shoot?  
  • Feel free to bring multiple outfits and change as often as you like. Just keep in mind that wardrobe changes take time away from the actual shooting time.
 
What do you suggest for hair and make-up?  
  • Make-up appears more subtle in photos than in life. Therefore, make-up should be applied more heavily than normal in order to stand out in the photos.
  • Avoid shiny and reflective products. Lip gloss is fine.
  • Wear your hair as you wish.
 
Are you available for photo shoots and events outside of San Diego County?  
  • Yes. Please contact me to discuss the possibilities.
