Packages and pricing
Having professional photos done is an investment in time, money, and effort. Most importantly, it is an investment in your family's legacy. To beautifully and authentically capture moments that represent where you are at this moment in your life is truly irreplaceable and I'm quite confident it's an investment you won't regret now, nor in 20 years. Moreover, I want to take the stress out of this experience, so I've designed my packages to be simple and straightforward.
My packages are ALL inclusive. No hidden fees. No after the fact costs. No gatekeeping of images... you get all the best (for each package I just guarantee a minimum)!
Every package includes planning, styling, session time, high-resolution, professionally edited images, print and social media usage rights, and assistance ordering prints.

family package
$900
This package is for families who want a classic storytelling experience. We'll spend an hour together, at your home or somewhere that feels like you, while I guide you through a mix of posed and candid moments that let real connection happen naturally. You'll receive a gallery with 70+ professionally edited images that you'll want to look at again and again.
maternity package
$800
This package is for mama. A 45 minute session at your home or at a location in San Diego, where the spotlight is on you and that beautiful bump. Your spouse or partner is welcome to join for part of the session, but this is really about celebrating you. You'll receive a gallery with 50+ professionally edited images to remember this transitional moment in your life.
(Note: this package is just for mama and her partner. If you'd like siblings in the mix, you'll want the family package above.)
day in the life package
$1500
This package is for families who want to romanticize their everyday life. It's a 4-hour documentary-style session where we slow down and spend an entire morning or afternoon together, doing whatever makes your family feel happy and connected. Neither rushed nor performative, this is your family's story, seen through an artist's eye. We can mix in different outfits, locations, and activities, whatever a real (or ideal) day with your family actually looks like. You'll receive 150+ professionally edited images to tell your full "day in the life" story.
FAQ
What if we are awkward in front of the camera? Do you help with posing?
I have great news, most people feel this way, including myself! My approach is what I call "guided lifestyle photography" which means I strive to capture real, candid reactions and interactions that showcase each family's personality, but I offer poses and prompts and guidance to help you get comfortable enough in front of the camera to actually do that. I always include a few "everyone smile at the camera" photos for the holiday card (if that's your thing), but the majority of your gallery will be more emotive, authentic imagery of you and yours being together.
Can we schedule a consultation or phone call before booking?
Of course! When you fill out the contact form, you have the option to leave your phone number if you prefer to talk or text or video chat in real time. I'm always happy to meet you wherever you are in the decision making process and if I'm not a good fit, I can always recommend other local photographers that I think might be.
where are you based and Do you travel?
I'm in San Diego, CA. I currently only do sessions in central San Diego and surrounding areas so my package pricing includes travel up to 20 miles beyond my home in 92120. I can go a little farther but a travel fee might apply.
do you have a studio?
I do not have my own studio but I do often do studio sessions with families. There are a few studios in the area that I frequent that we can choose from and I work with clients to figure out their desired vibe and budget. While I handle reserving the studio, clients are responsible for the additional studio fees.
do you offer mini sessions?
At the moment I do not offer mini sessions. I've found I am better able to connect and capture the true personality of my clients when we're not rushed. As an artist, I truly find that my best work comes from a place of mutual connection and creation with my client and I just struggle to get into that flow state when I have back to back mini sessions.
If you'd like to stay up to date on mini session offerings that might happen in the future, join my mailing list and follow me on Instagram.
