What it's like to work with me
We start with what matters to you, then plan the place, light, and pace together. You don't need model experience. I'll guide you when it helps and make room for genuine moments. Your delivery date is agreed before the shoot. Starting prices are below.

From first hello to finished photographs
The plan fits you, whether we're photographing your family, your pet, your wedding or your business.
Tell me your idea
A rough idea is enough to start. I'll read your inquiry and reply personally, with the questions that help us find the right fit. A requested date is a starting point, not a reservation.
Plan and book
We can plan by email, phone or text. A Zoom consult is included for weddings, events and business shoots, and available by request for other sessions. We agree on the date, scope and delivery plan. Your booking is confirmed when your agreement is signed and your required booking payment is received.
Get ready together
I'll confirm the practical details and share a few tips for your session. Tell me what would help you feel comfortable. If you have a wall or a gift in mind, we can plan for it without a print commitment.
Settle in and be yourself
You don't have to know how to pose. I'll help you settle in and offer direction when it helps, with space for the moments that happen naturally. We work at a pace that suits you, your pet or your day.
Know what comes next
The people, details and moments you care about guide how I select and finish your photographs. You'll know when to expect your gallery, with a first look and check-ins where agreed. If the timing needs to change, I'll let you know.
Enjoy your gallery
I'll send your private gallery with clear instructions for the digital photographs included in your collection. Enjoy them as agreed, and ask if you need help. Optional, separately priced prints offer another way to enjoy the image's detail and texture in daily life.
When your gallery arrives
We confirm your gallery delivery date at booking. These times are calendar days after your shoot and apply to new bookings. If you already have an agreement, its delivery date still applies.
- Weddings and events Within 21 calendar days.
- Engagements Within 18 calendar days.
- Portraits and families Within 14 calendar days, including Signature sessions.
- Pets Within 10 calendar days.
- Business photography 7–10 calendar days, with the exact date agreed at booking.
- Minis Within 48 hours.
If you need your gallery sooner, optional rush delivery is $200, subject to availability and a specific earlier date we agree together. It is never added automatically.
Your finished photographs
Your finished photographs arrive in your private gallery with instructions for opening and downloading the collection you've booked. Each collection lists the high-resolution photographs included. If you need help, you can reply to me. Prints and framed products are optional and purchased separately.
If you would like help choosing prints, send me three favorites and a budget you are comfortable with. We can look through them together and discuss Bay Photo print or frame options, or you can order directly from your gallery shop.
Can I buy additional photographs?
If there are additional finished photographs in your Pet, Session, Engagement or Mini gallery, you can purchase them for $20 each or $175 for the remaining finished gallery. Your included photographs are selected by me. These options are for finished photographs; unedited files are not included.
