Do you do events or weddings?

We are exceptional at creating portraits that tell stories and that is our niche. So no, we do not do weddings / events/ birthday parties etc.

Once you book your session, we provide you with all the help you need, including how to pick what to wear, styling, what to bring and what to do so you are well prepared for your session.

How long does a photo session go for?

It depends on what type of session you are going for and if you added the hair and makeup services. A typical newborn session goes longer than a branding session. A headshot mini session is around 20 mins. So it all varies.

How long before I get to see my images?

Oh we can’t keep you waiting … we love it when you are excited to enjoy your portraits. For most of our sessions, the design appointment(ordering sesison) is done either the same day or the next day. Once you buy what you love we work on getting your art work ready for you.

I need Albums and Wall Art for my home. Can you help?

ABSOLUTELY. We believe beautiful photographs shouldn’t sit on a USB gathering dust in a drawer. YES we specialize in creating Wall ART and gorgeous albums for you. Infact we have the best products available out there. Our Italian products look & feel like silk & velvet. You will love our exclusive selection of products.

How do the sessions work?

Through our pre-consultation, we plan your photography experience. It helps us understand what is important to you and how best to create your essence on an art print that you will LOVE for your FOREVER. Providing hair and makeup service, on set, prior to the shoot gives you the comfort of not having to worry about getting those things done ahead of time. We are experts at guiding you to the right poses and we have plenty of experience working with people of all comfort levels. Your session is an experience and we build it to make sure you get images that will become your legacy.

Do I get the RAW files?

No RAW files will not be provided. We believe in delivering finished products only. There are no exceptions to this. You go to a restaurant to enjoy a gourmet dinner not raw food. We are that restaurant.

Can I scan my printed images ?

It is illegal to scan your prints. Photographers hold the copyright to the images by law. Any printing that is needed needs prior approval by the artist or needs to go thru the studio.

Can I get only digital files ?

It depends on the type of portrait experience. Digitals only package is now available for a branding sessions only. Packages start at $1600. For all other sessions we provide packages that include beautiful artwork along with digitals. You can buy packages or just Ala-Carte art pieces. Talk to us for your specific needs.

How long do you keep my photographs for ?

CAMERA BODY

I have been often asked what my gear is & what camera and lenses I use for my photography

I have been in business for more than 6 years now but my passion for photography is much older than that. As I have evolved into where my photography is now I have also evolved from my camera to the one I own today.

Please know that what works for me might not work for someone else. It’s all based on your personal choice and where in photography journey you are.

While I come from Film days where my very own first camera was a Minolta ( truly a beginner stage film camera) I am now a proud owner of Canon 5D Mark IV. It is a full format camera that I absolutely love.

LENSES

Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM Lens

One of the most versatile camera lenses. I have this on my camera most of the days. The new version of 24-70 offers no Image Stabilization option but if you are either tripod mounted or know what you are doing, it’s not a huge miss compared to its predecessor.

Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM Lens

A fabulous macro lens. I have used it immensely for portraits to create the creamy bokeh.

Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens.

The new version of this lens has great upgrades but I haven’t found any reason to upgrade this lens. Its an amazing telephoto lens and it is built like a tank but it does come with a lot of weight. Its definitely not the lightest lens to carry. But don’t let that stop you. I have been able to capture some amazing landscapes and portraits with it keeping my distance from my subject.

Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Lens

I love this prime lens but in all honesty its lesser used than the other more versatily lenses. Primes are definitely faster lenses but I don’t use this one as much as I could.
