Upon booking, I’ll send you my family prep guide with tips for wardrobe and styling. Matching outfits are out - complimentary outfits are in! A cohesive look will bring your family into focus. Above all - everyone should be comfortable and feel like themselves. I’m happy to chat if you get stuck.

It’s perfect - just enough time to capture the connection and love in your family without people getting antsy. We’ll photograph you family, smaller groups, and the kids individually.

I’ll have a backup plan if it’s raining. While we can’t control mother nature, we can control our reaction. We may have to pivot with another SLO adjacent location - I’ll definitely be in touch if the weather looks like it might be an issue.

I have a couple of favorite spots in Morro Bay and Montana de Oro that are easily accessible. I’ll be confirming the locations the weekend of 11/8.

A few days after your photoshoot, we’ll schedule a zoom call and I can share your gallery while you’re comfortable in your own home. You’ll select your favorite photos and place your order.

Your photoshoot includes two hand-edited digital files. You can add print and/or digital collections to your order.

While you can always purchase the whole gallery, I suggest that families select their absolute favorite portraits. These will rise to the top and make you smile every time to see them. I’ve found that a gallery o 100 files can be overwhelming and get lost on a computer drive. Let’s find your favorites and get them on your walls to enjoy everyday.

I photograph in color, but I’m gaga for black & white images. I often convert my portrait work to B&W to highlight the expression or form. Some photos speak to me in color and others demand to be B&W. Most of the time it’s a feeling.
