Portrait FAQ

Before your
session.

What are the best locations for an outdoor portrait session in the Bay Area?

The San Francisco Bay Area offers incredible backdrops for portraits. Popular spots include the architectural lines of the Palace of Fine Arts, the natural sunset lighting at the Berkeley Marina, and urban settings across downtown San Francisco. During our pre-shoot consultation, we will choose a location that aligns perfectly with the mood and style of your portfolio or branding.

What should I wear for a professional headshot or branding session?

Solid, mid-tone colors like blue, grey, or deep jewel tones generally look best on camera and isolate well against diverse backgrounds. Avoid busy patterns or overly bright neon colors that can distract from your face. It is highly recommended to bring a few layering options—such as a blazer, jacket, or sweater—to quickly switch between a formal corporate look and an approachable lifestyle aesthetic.

What is your turnaround time for delivering edited digital portraits?

You will receive a private online proofing gallery within 3 to 5 business days after your shoot to select your final images. Once you choose your favorites, the fully edited, high-resolution digital portraits are delivered within 7 business days, ready for print, LinkedIn, or corporate websites.
