How do I choose the right photographer for my needs?

It's important to find a photographer whose work resonates with your vision. If you enjoy naturally candid shots and stylized film ‘look’ in addition to classic portraits then I will fit the profile.

Will you travel?

Yes, anywhere within 50 miles of Santa Cruz County, California. Beyond that, a surcharge will be determined by travel time and cost.

How long does it take to receive the photos?

About 2 weeks or earlier. Shorter sessions within the week.

Can we book you for a lifestyle photo session?

Yes, my photojournalistic approach is inherently inclusive, and I would love to be there.

Will you take our photos with film camera only?

Yes, depending on the desired outcome, I have the flexibility to work with either or both medium format (120mm) and full-frame (35mm) film. Film photography adds a unique touch to the images, and the resulting quantity of deliverables is often less compared to a package that includes both digital and film. It's worth noting however, that Hasselblad's medium format output is renowned for its exceptional quality in capturing stunning stills and portraits.

Do you print the photos?

I provide digital images in JPG format through a secure online gallery that requires a password for access. Additionally, as courtesy, I will also include the film negatives or RAW files on memory cards.

7. Can you help create a wedding album?

Certainly! I have personal experience using Miller's Lab and Mpix for my own projects. If you'd like, I can design a beautiful album for you using one of these vendors for a design fee of $100 per hour. Creating a well-designed album with 25-30 pages typically takes around 4-5 hours, in addition to the printing and material costs charged by the vendors. I'm open to discussing your preferences and finding the best solution that fits your needs.

I apologize for not listing album design service by default. Since album design service is custom and not often required, it becomes more practical to approach the subject on a case-by-case basis.

8. Can we book you for corporate events or photo assignment?

Yes! a Half-Day or Full-Day package is usually appropriate, depending on the need and duration.

9. Can I print and/or download and share the photographs online?

Yes, I will always respect your rights as the rightful owner of the photographs. By default, I have the right to share and showcase the images, unless you express a preference for them to remain private. If you choose not to have your photos shared or showcased publicly, I will honor your request and keep them strictly private.

10. What happens if there is an issue or concern with the photographs or the service provided?

I hope to build genuine relationship with my clients, and understand that their satisfaction is a consequence of my service. So, I want to hear your concerns and feedback. Please email me for anything needing discussion or resolution.
