Frequently Asked Questions

I GET A LOT OF THE SAME QUESTIONS, SO I DEDICATED THIS BLOG TO ANSWER THE MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED ONES.

When and how will my images be delivered?

My contract states that your gallery will be delivered within 4 weeks, but my typical turnaround time is 2-3 weeks. There is a $100 rush processing fee if you need your gallery before my allocated contract time. Also, I will email your gallery to you through a personal online gallery!
What time is our photoshoot?

The time of your session depends on the package that you book! The Complete Story package is typically scheduled an hour before sunset. If it’s a cloudy day, I might schedule your session a little earlier. However, if you prefer a non-sunset session, some locations will accommodate an earlier start time! Please note: sessions scheduled outside of sunset won’t have that “golden” light. My mini-sessions and Short N’ Sweet Package are scheduled roughly 1.5-2 hours before sunset, but that can vary on a few factors.
What location will you choose for our session?
Your location will depend on the package you book! If you select The Complete Story Package, you will have many beautiful locations to choose from! If you select a mini-session or the Short N’ Sweet package, your photoshoot will take place at a location selected by me.
Will you deliver sneak peeks?
Sadly, no. However! I can now deliver galleries so much faster because I am not delivering sneak peeks. I promise it’s worth the wait!
Where can I print my photos?

I suggest printing through your private online gallery. Your gallery offers print options through Richard’s Photo Lab. their ink is true to life and will match my editing style perfectly. Please note: I do not give printing rights to stores, such as CVS, Target, Rite-aid, Walgreens, Costco, etc., as the quality of the prints will substantially decrease.
Do you have a referral program?
I do have a referral program! If you refer me to your friends and family, they receive $50.00 off and so will you! Please make sure your friends mention your name upon booking, and I will give them a discount code. They can use the $50.00 off toward any session! If your friends book a session with me, please let me know next time you book your next photoshoot with me as well, so you can cash in on the deal too.

Welcome

I’m Christina, a lifestyle, maternity, and family photographer in the East Bay Area. As your photographer, my goal is to document your family’s REAL story and honest emotions. I want to capture genuine smiles, silly laughter, and even those sassy moments that your toddler might have! If you are searching for a heavily posed session, I’m not your person. If you want to have fun, possibly rock out to some music, and have a stress-free session, I am most definitely your person!
