How long & how much is a session?
I found that short and focused sessions always work best. Please see Price page for two different option to choose.

Frequently Asked questions
Multi-Family Photos
How soon can I get the photos after the session?
You’ll receive all the lightly edited photos within 24 business hours to choose your favorites, then I’ll retouch your selected images (the number depends on your chosen package found on the Price page) and deliver them via Dropbox in 5-7 days. It’s quick so you can share the joy sooner!But if for any reason you absolutely have to have them even sooner, it can be arranged for a small fee (currently $100).Do you shoot in the evening too?
Yes, I absolutely shoot in the evening too! Evening light in Naples can be pure magic – warm, golden-hour glow that makes everyone look amazing. It’s one of my favorite times to capture those soft, dreamy portraits, especially on the beach or in a park where the sunset adds a special touch. Plus, evenings can work great if your schedule is tight. Just let me know what time suits you, and we’ll make it happen with that beautiful light!How far in advance should we book?
Ideally at least 2-8 weeks in advance depending on the season. Naples can get busy, particularly during peak times like holidays, school breaks, or the winter months when tourists flock to the area, so booking early ensures you get your preferred slot and allows me to plan for the best lighting and location for your session.
That said, I know life can be unpredictable, and sometimes you need photos sooner than expected. I’ll do my best to squeeze you in if my schedule allows. Just send me a text message. My goal is to make this as stress-free as possible for you.
What if the weather is bad on the day of our outdoor session?
No problem! We can reschedule for a better day or move the session to an indoor location. Your comfort and safety are my top priorities. Here is an important note for our Naples guests: please never schedule your session on the last day of your trip. Why? If the weather is bad and we need to reschedule, it’s best to have 2-3 days before your departure to find a good weather day.
How long does a typical session last?
From 15 to 90 minutes. However, what I found in my 20+ years of being a photographer is that a focused 30 minute session is just the right time. Something called a ‘Smile fatigue’ which is a very real phenomenon in photography happens during longer photo sessions. When people have to hold smiles for extended periods or repeatedly smile on command during a long photoshoots:
- The facial muscles literally get tired
- People become mentally drained from maintaining a positive expression
- There is a noticeable decline in authenticity
- This is especially pronounced with children, who typically can only maintain genuine engagement for 15-20 minute
I know how to work efficiently to capture genuine moments quickly, which is why 15-30 minute sessions can actually yield better results than traditional longer sessions. But if necessary, the shoots can take longer.
There is beauty in every face.
