Artistic Investment

Session fees are for the time and talent of the photographer only and will not be applied to the cost of your prints. Pre-session phone or in-person consultation is part of this process. It's a great opportunity for us to talk, get to know each other and design your photography experience. We'll discuss the vision for your portraits. This is important for me to get a feel for creating the images you will cherish! You will have the option to purchase any portraits prints or specialty products during your Order Session.

Goal and Vision

My art studio for your portrait is the natural outside world, on location in North San Diego County Coastal (Carlsbad, Oceanside). Being coastal, there are great beaches to set the mood. Or if your special place is a park, that is fantastic too! Whether your portrait is if of your family, a senior portrait, a family or pet session, I put you in a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. I capture their personality and special energy.

I create art portraits for your, specializing in Senior Portraits, Engagement and Dog Photography. I want you to be relaxed during your photography experience, but most importantly, to have fun ... that's when the great image comes alive. I like to take the fun and crazy shoots. If your like to climb rocks, walk in the water, swing like a little kid, swim with your dog or just "make stuff up" .. that works too. If its a simple intimate portrait or something crazy ... I want you to be happy with your photos. It's your experiece (and your dog's too!).
