Pricing questions answered

What does the session fee include?

The session fee reserves your date and covers the photography experience itself, including session planning, Jesica's time and talent, use of the studio and available wardrobe or props, and the professional editing and preparation of your gallery for your viewing and ordering appointment.

Digital images, prints, and products are not included in the session fee and are purchased separately at your viewing appointment. Session fees vary depending on the type of session.

Are prints and digital images included in the session fee?

No. The session fee covers your photography experience, while digital images, prints, products, and collections are purchased separately at your viewing and ordering appointment. This means you'll see your finished images before making any purchasing decisions and can select the photographs and products you love most.

What are collections, and when do I choose one?

Collections start at $575 — which is also the minimum purchase for a session — and are made up of prints, digital images and products. You choose yours at the viewing and ordering appointment, once your gallery is in front of you — Jesica will help you pick prints, wall art and albums that suit your home.

Do you have a studio, or do you travel?

Yes! I offer both in-studio and outdoor sessions. My private studio is located in downtown Lodi and offers a comfortable, welcoming space designed with families in mind, including a family lounge, kitchenette, changing and feeding area, and children's playspace.

For outdoor sessions, I also offer travel throughout the Central Valley, Sacramento area, Bay Area, and beyond, depending on the location. Travel fees may apply for locations outside my local service area.

Which sessions can I book?

Maternity, newborn, milestone, cake smash and family sessions run year-round, and Christmas sessions are offered for a few weekends each winter. The session fee works the same way across all of them.

How do I book a session?

Send an inquiry through the contact page with the session you have in mind and roughly when you'd like it. Jesica will come back with availability and full details, and your session fee reserves the date. Newborn dates are held by your due date and fill quickly, so reach out early in your third trimester.
