The Experience
Steady guidance. Clear direction. A calm, efficient photo session.
It's a very hands-on and personalized approach to your session, not some cookie-cutter "meet me at X location and we'll take some pictures" kind of deal.
I take the time to understand your unique story and goals, ensuring that your headshots or personal branding photos authentically represent you and resonate with your audience
Consultation
to meticulously plan your shoot
We can connect by phone, Zoom, or in person to fine-tune our plan of action. During this meeting, we will discuss all the details, including:
Locations, Time of day, Time frames, Wardrobe, General aesthetic of the images, Hair and makeup (if needed), Potential shot lists of must-have shots, Props to bring to the shoot.
Depending on the time of day and the length of the shoot, we’ll also decide on breakfast and/or lunch plans. Sorting through all these details will be a blast, ensuring our San Diego photoshoot is set up for success.
Photoshoot day
we will create magnificent images
This is the continuation of our good times! At this stage, it's time to relax and let me handle all the technical aspects. You just bring your energy, and I'll make sure you look fantastic with perfect lighting and prompts for natural looks, not poses. No awkwardness or forced smiles—just genuine grins, laughs, and a good time, I promise.
Image selection
Choose your favorites
We have lots of options here. I can meet with you on the same day as the shoot (or another day) to review your unedited headshots or personal branding photos and help you pick your favorites for editing and delivery. Alternatively, I can use my expertise to select the best images for you and deliver fully edited photos for your website, blog posts, social media, and any other way you wish to promote your business and brand.

FAQ
01. how long are the sessions?
There is no set length, I plan accordingly so that we can work creating images until we get the ones you want and need. That could be 20 minutes, that could be an hour and a half. The goal is to get the desired shot, not watch the clock. The Custom Branding sessions can last up to several hours and at times depending on need be spread over 2 days.
02. Can I bring multiple outfits?
Yes of course! For the Custom Branding session I usually suggest 5-6 outfits with interchangeable items. This way we can capture mulitple looks, with matching props, and interesting locations such as office, home, urban area, coffee shop, etc. For the Headshot/Mini Branding, I suggest 2-3 partial outfit changes.
03. What else do you photograph ?
While my main offer is San Diego based headshots and branding, I have a vast background in photographing couples, engagements, families, seniors, and even sports. I love help providing a one stop solution for my clients photography needs.
04. Do I own the use of the images?
Absolutely! You are granted unlimited and unrestricted license to use your images as you see fit, either for business or personal use. Many other photographers limit your print rights or commercial usage, I feel thats not fair, you paid for the image, it's yours to use.
