Before You Inquire
Where are you based?
I’m based in West Hollywood and photograph clients across Los Angeles, in studios, workplaces and on location.
Are you insured?
Yes. I carry professional photography insurance. Please include any venue or production insurance requirements in your inquiry.
Do you travel?
Yes. I’m available throughout California and internationally. Travel costs and logistics are discussed before booking.
Are you LGBTQ+ inclusive?
Absolutely. My work is rooted in equity and inclusion. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am dedicated to providing a safe, celebratory, and affirming space for all identities.
What can I expect during a typical session?
We begin with a conversation about how you’ll use the photographs and the look you have in mind. During the session, I offer clear direction and time to get comfortable, with opportunities to review images together. You don’t need experience in front of the camera.
What is your turnaround time?
For portrait sessions, a proof gallery is generally ready within 72 hours for you to choose your images. Final retouching and delivery timing are agreed for each project. For editorial assignments, please include your deadline in the inquiry.
How is image licensing handled?
Usage is agreed before the assignment and included in your estimate and agreement. Tell me where the photographs will appear, how they’ll be used and for how long, so I can quote the appropriate license.
Can you help arrange a studio?
Yes. I can recommend a Los Angeles studio suited to the photographs we’re planning. Studio hire and any location costs are discussed before booking.
