THE RETREAT— $2000
We're not just photographing you—we're creating a visual story of your time in Santa Cruz.
This starts with conversations about planning and locations before the shoot.
We move across locations.
This is typically a morning session at one location (golden hour, landscape-forward) and an afternoon session at the boardwalk, celebrating a college graduation, or during a family surf session. We're building a narrative across the day.
120 minutes of directed photography across two curated locations.
Full location scouting and consultation.
200 unedited images (both sessions combined).
8 fully retouched, color-graded, hi-res images.
Digital files (full resolution, print-ready, shareable).
One professional print (16x20, museum-quality finish of your choice).
Holiday card custom design & printing. (a $250 value ) + printing fees.

Most photographers capture what's there. I direct what's possible. We work on the same principle as the brands I shoot for: the best work isn't found—it's authored. That means I'm not waiting for a genuine moment. I'm creating the conditions where genuine moments have permission to happen. And Santa Cruz—the light, the landscape, the pace—makes that possible in a way that strip mall studios and rushed weekend bookings can't touch.
