FAQ- Answered by Rachel
✨ GENERAL
Q: How do I book you?
Easy! Just head over to my Contact Page, fill out the quick form, and I’ll get back to you within 48 hours with more details and we can schedule a free call to connect more too!
Q: Do you travel?
Yes! I'm based in San Diego but always down to chase the sun (or fog or desert light). Travel fees may apply depending on the location — just ask!
PS. I do have a bucket list of places I want to travel to! If you book any of these places, there is a discount offered! See my bucket list here!
Q: What’s your photography style?
I would describe my style as warm, whimsical, candid, and full of movement. I focus on storytelling — not stiff poses or forced smiles. Expect a mix of emotional candids and artful portraits that feel like you. The main goal is that you feel like you! Nothing should feel forced or uncomfortable. I will send a “get to know you” form and we can have a free call to connect more too!
Q: Do you offer payment plans?
Absolutely! Life is expensive — love shouldn’t be. I offer flexible payment options for all packages. It just has to be completed the day BEFORE the shoot.
📸 SESSIONS
Q: What should we wear?
Something you feel great in! I’ll send a style guide after booking with tips on what photographs well (spoiler: neutrals, texture, and movement-friendly fits are your friends).
Q: My kids are wild — is that okay?
YES. I love wild. Let them be themselves — I’ll roll with the chaos and capture the magic in it. I have plenty experience with kids of all ages and nothing will surprise me! Just don’t be mad if I encourage some silly behavior, please!
Q: What if we’re awkward in front of the camera?
You’re not. Promise. I give natural prompts and create space for you to relax, laugh, and move. Most of my clients say “this was actually fun!” — and mean it. My prompts start off easy like “walk away from me looking at each other. Now walk back looking at each other and all other directions.” Then we build off of it like “Now run away from me and spin her! Walk back to me like you’ve had too much to drink. Messier the better” And these prompts give off the perfect amount of movement and laughter!
💌 AFTER YOUR SESSION
Q: When will we get our photos?
You’ll get sneak peeks within 2–3 days, and your full gallery within 3–4 weeks (weddings may take 6–8 weeks). I know the wait is hard — I won’t leave you hanging.
Q: How many photos will we get?
It depends on your session type, but I always prioritize quality + storytelling. You’ll get more than enough to cry over, print, post, and stare at forever.
Q: Can we print our photos?
Yes! Your gallery includes high-res downloads and printing rights. I also offer gorgeous print and album options if you want the full heirloom vibe.
💍 WEDDINGS & ELOPEMENTS
Q: Will you help us plan the timeline?
Totally. I’ll work with you (and/or your planner) to make sure the day flows naturally — and that we don’t miss a single meaningful moment.
Q: Do you offer second shooters?
Yep! For bigger weddings or full-day coverage, a second photographer can be added to capture all those little in-between moments happening across the day.
Q: Can we meet you before the wedding?
Yes, please! I love to hop on a call or meet for coffee to get to know each other. Connection is key to making you feel comfortable in front of the lens. I want you to feel like you have invited a friend to capture your day, not a stranger! We can laugh or cry together! I’ve got your back.
