WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?
We are located the Tri Valley region of the San Francisco Bay Area, but am happy to serve the entire Bay Area and parts of Northern California.
HOW LONG DO SESSIONS LAST?
The Senior Experience lasts 2-3 hours. Sometimes we get carried away chatting or we are having so much fun we lose track of time. Other sessions I may take extra time to make sure you feel confident and comfortable with me, being in front of the camera, and with your poses. Your comfort level is so important to me! In other cases there is some travel time between two different locations whether it be on foot or by car.
HOW MANY OUTFITS SHOULD I BRING?
For the Senior Experience we suggest 4-5 outfits. Several outfits will give you much more variety to choose from during your image reveal session. To help you with this we will send you our Welcome Guide after you book your session which is packed with clothing tips. In addition to that we will go over your outfits and accessories during the style consult before your Senior Experience.
WILL MY PHOTOS BE EDITED?
Any image that you purchase will be professionally edited. I will remove blemishes and anything distracting in the background like a pole or orange cone, fix the color and contrast so the image pops, and I will make sure it has my own personal magic blend to take your photo from good to great. It is also important to note there are edits I don't do. I will not make your skin overly soft. All skin should have texture in photos. Nor will I remove scars, freckles, moles, or birthmarks unless you ask me to. Those are a part of you and your unique beauty!
WHERE WILL MY SESSION BE?
I tell our seniors, when it comes the Senior Experience the world is your oyster! We have several Bay Area and Tri Valley locations that have been popular with our seniors. During the planning stage of your custom Senior Experience Session I will provide you with galleries of these locations so you are able to see what they look like throughout the year. However, this does not mean you are limited to these locations. This session is about Y-O-U and where we photograph you should reflect that. In the Bay Area and Northern California there is no shortage of scenic and unique spots. Also, my chronic case of wanderlust has an added benefit to you: I know of a lot of lovely gems scattered throughout California and Oregon. Ask any of my friends, I have the keen ability to find some pretty rad and authentic places. Depending on where they are some locations may require an additional travel fee due to distance, permit fee, or entrance fee.
