Booking

Reserve your session

Photography sessions are $200 / hour. Sessions under $1,000 are paid in full at booking. From $1,000 up, a 50% deposit holds your date and the balance is due on the day of the shoot.

Time worked past the agreed session length is billed at $250 / hour.

Hourly · priced by time

Build your session

Portrait, family, and sports sessions are priced by time, not by package: $200 an hour, because what changes from one booking to the next is how long I'm there, not what's included. Choose your hours below. Booking an event instead? That's priced as a flat package, since what changes there is what's included rather than the clock.

Booking request sent

Thanks! I'll confirm your date by email shortly and send a Wave invoice for the amount due at booking: full payment for sessions under $1,000, or the 50% deposit for bookings of $1,000 and up. Your date is reserved once that's paid.

Event coverage

Reunions, parties, and celebrations are booked as a package, not by the hour. All three packages cover the same continuous window and the same coverage on the day; what changes between them is what you get afterward: full editing, or unedited images delivered fast. Portrait, family, or sports session instead? That's priced by time, above. Package fees below are shown before California sales tax.
