What to Expect

The chaos is part of the beauty

From choosing the right trail to finding the best light and making sure you feel prepared—I’ll guide you through it all so you can relax and enjoy the adventure

Getting to Know You


We’ll start with a little chat—what you love, where you feel most yourself, which trails or places speak to you. Tell me about your favorite vistas, your adventure style, and when you feel the most alive.

Choosing Location & Time


Once we share ideas, I’ll suggest spots in the Bay Area (or further out if you’re up for it)—ocean cliffs, golden ridges, quiet beaches, or even backpacking trails. We’ll time it for the best natural light (sunrise, sunset, or that golden hour glow)

Editing & Delivery


I know waiting is hard—so you’ll get a sneak peek of a few shots within days. The full gallery is ready in about 2–3 weeks. Delivered via a private online gallery so you can download, share, and order prints when you like.

Add-Ons & Extra Goodies


Want something I don’t usually shoot—like a camp-fire, backpacking overnight, or even a desert elopement? Let’s plan it. Also: prints, albums, rush delivery, or extra time on location are always possible.

What It’s Like to Work With Me


I keep things easy and natural—no stiff poses, no pressure. Whether it’s pets, kids, backpacks, or muddy shoes, bring whatever makes your story yours. My goal is to capture moments that feel real, heartfelt, and true to you, so when you look back, it feels like reliving the adventure—not a staged photoshoot.
