How I work

Less posing, more walking.

I'll give you a little direction, then mostly get out of the way. Here's how it goes.

  1. A 15-minute callWhat you want, who's coming, what you'll wear. I send a short guide after.
  2. We pick the lightUsually the hour before sunset. Fog days are a bonus, not a cancellation.
  3. The sessionWe walk, talk and do a few things together. Kids set the pace.
  4. Your galleryEdited by hand and delivered online in 2 to 4 weeks, with a few previews in 48 hours.

A date, a rough idea, how many people. I reply within two days with open dates and a short call link. Booking takes a signed agreement and a $150 deposit, which comes off your session.
