Venue

Planning ahead is important. Find out whether the venue requires a proof of photographer insurance. Will there be any restriction or limitation, such as the use of flash inside a chapel?

Rundown of Event

Helps to get clear what type of activities you definitely want photography coverage. Determine the number of hours you would like us there.

Scoping Out the Venue

For venues we haven’t been to, we typically would love to scope out the space prior to the event day, in order to make sure we bring the right equipment for the event.

Setting Up

Depending on the event, we will come 15-30 minutes early to set up any necessary lighting. Also, to introduce and get acquainted with the guests, letting people know to get us to capture an important momemnt.

THE TEAM

We are a team of 3.

A husband-and-wife team, with a curious fluff as long as the location permits, creating cherishable memories for you and your loved ones.

About Us


"Stephanie is a really great communicator, clear and responsive and she took time to understand what we wanted. We had her take photos at my husband's 50th and she worked hard to make sure she captured all our guests, and worked her way around the room - but very unobtrusively! We got some lovely photos for a very reasonable price."

What is your creative process working with a new customer?

To craft a beautiful session, I usually begin learning about you and the story you want to capture. We then pick a shooting location of your choice. I can also provide recommendations for you if needed. Next, we will work out a color story for the outfits that best complement the shooting location you chose.

Yes, I do! Post production of the photographs is as important as the day of shoot. Every image you receive will be edited in some shape or form to create that cohesive look of a collection.

My office is based in Torrance, California, 90501. For any photoshoots under an hour, I am willing to travel up to 15 miles radius, free of charge. Anything that falls beyond will be charged by each mile to cover the driven mileage and gasoline cost, at $2/mile.

The turnaround time for any photoshoot will be 2 weeks from your shoot day. They will be uploaded to a private, password protected gallery for you to view and share among your friends and family.

Celebration Sessions
In addition, an USB flash drive with the high resolution files will also be mailed to you as a keepsake.

Only the web resolution files are watermarked for your online usage. All the high resolution files will not be watermarked.

Upon receipt of your digital files, you will also receive a Print Release - Use License, which allows you to print and use the pictures for personal use only. As for obtaining the copyright, it means to own the creator title to the work performed. I do not sell the copyright of the images, but you will have the license and right to print and share your images for personal use as much as you like!

Mask on for me at all times! Most of the shoots will be conducted in outdoor settings, unless specified. We will maintain good social distance and follow all local laws, but you and your close ones can certainly stay as close as you’d like!
