How it goes
Three steps, and none of them are stressful.
- 01
We talk first
Fifteen minutes on the phone. What the photos are for, who is in them, and what you would rather not look like. I send back two or three locations and a time.
- 02
We shoot at the right hour
Almost always the hour before sunset. We walk, you talk to each other, and I stay out of the way. Nobody says cheese and nobody stands in a row.
- 03
You get a gallery
Edited images in seven to ten days in a private online gallery. Download everything, order prints straight from it, and share the link with whoever you like.
Booked out about three weeks ahead Galleries in 7 to 10 days
Clients
What people say after.
These three are placeholders. Swap them for your own Google reviews before you launch.
“I have avoided cameras my whole adult life. Mara talked to me for the first ten minutes and shot for the other thirty. I ended up buying the whole gallery.”
“Three kids under seven and not one of us was told to sit still. The photo on our stairs is our four-year-old running away, and it is perfect.”
“I needed a headshot that did not look like a badge photo. I got thirty of them, plus shots at my bench I have used on every page of my site.”
Golden hour is at a different time next month.
Tell me who is in the picture and roughly when, and I will send back two or three dates that work with the light. No deposit to ask a question.
