Here are some quick answers to questions I get asked the most:
What kind of sessions do you do?
At the moment I am specializing in couples, maternity, families and event photography/video. I do take on other projects but you don’t see much of it on my social media accounts. Please inquire if you have any questions about a specific project.
Do you offer additional hours to Wedding Packages?
Yes we do! Additional hours are $300, so we recommend getting the package that best fits your wedding timeline.
Do you offer only hourly rates? No packages.
Yes. the Hourly rates are $350/ hour with a minimum service of 2 hours. So we have to be there two hours or more. each hour gives you 30-40 digital images online
I want to add another photographer to the package. Is that allowed?
Of course! The fee for that is $400, and they will typically be there from the time the rest of the team is there.
What is your travel fee?
I live in Orland, CA so anything outside of city limits, is 50 cents per mile traveled to AND from the event.
What is the Retainer Fee we have to pay to book you?
All packages (except hourly rates) require a $500 non refundable retainer fee to be paid at the time of booking. It is deducted from your entire package fee.
That fee, means I am exclusively your photographer for your wedding day and I can no longer work elsewhere that day. Stuck with me and it’ll be worth it, promise!
Do you speak Spanish?
Si, yo hablo espanol para los clientes que ocupan una fotografa que se pueda comunicar con usted.
What is your turn around time for images?
It depends on the season, actually. The busiest season is Fall so it take a bit longer to get images out to clients. To give you an estimate, I like to say 2-3 weeks for regular portrait sessions and 8-10 weeks for weddings. BUT you will always get a sneak peek from me so you can see how everything is coming along.
Do you travel to different countries?
Not at the moment. For now I am focusing on California weddings and portrait sessions.
Who do you hire for wedding photography and video?
I am currently only hiring professionals from the state of California. I hope to have a full team by the middle of 2023 who is going to be local to the area and we can travel together. When I hire other professionals, I ask for background information such as how long they have been doing weddings and ask to see their portfolio.
What do you require for a deposit ? Do you do payment plans?
For sessions, I require half of the total package fee at the time of signing the agreement. For weddings or events, its usually $500. Yes! I am flexible with payment plans and work with your schedules .
