  • I have studio space in downtown Los Angeles.

    My shoot calendar is subject to studio availability.

  • absolutely. i work with a ton of new actors and people who are unaccustomed to being in front of a camera. i will make this as easy for you as possible! after (or before) booking your session, we will have a 15 min phone call to discuss wardrobe, posing, and your shoot goals.

  • RAW vs UNEDITED PHOTOS
    a “RAW” photo is a file format (like a jpeg). RAWs are massive and do not typically look good until they are professionally edited. RAW files are not handed to clients. if you want “un-edited” jpegs, please request no later than the day of your shoot. basic edits will still be done to ensure my standard quality of work, but I can leave your face entirely untouched by request.

    what I do

    removal of temporary things such as pimples, blemishes, lint, stray hairs, etc. I may apply other edits according to my artistic judgment and based on the goals of the shoot such as subtle eye brightening, teeth whitening, shadows under eyes, and makeup color correction to match skin. Hand retouching is $25 per image for those who need a more polished or digitally manipulated look.

    what I do not do

    heavy editing that alters the integrity of the subject such as face/body reshaping, height adjustment/ lengthening, and unnatural changes to hair/ eye color.

    Permanent things such as moles /scars/ birthmarks/ wrinkles/ tattoos remain untouched (unless requested).

  • Wait time can vary but edits typically take 7-10 days, depending on how many images we shoot. Sometimes less. Due to emergencies or technical issues, there may be a longer wait but I will do by best to meet that time frame or get them to you sooner.

    After Your Shoot

    • Beauty and bespoke retouching is available for those who need a more polished look. these edits may be requested after you receive your photo gallery. email your selections and send payment of $25 per extra image payable via Venmo, Paypal or Zelle. Payment must be received at the time you request the images.

    • After edits are finalized, you’ll receive a Google Drive download link via email.

    • Please download your photos within 30 days

    • I keep backups as long as possible, but I cannot guarantee storage beyond 30 days.

    if you are on a deadline, please let me know at the time of booking (or our shoot date, at the latest).
