From Start to Finish

The Process

My process has been refined over years of serving clients to prioritize open communication, thoughtful personalization, and a collaborative approach. I want to make sure you feel supported and satisfied every step of the way.

Step One

Schedule your Session

In order to book your session, we will need a signed contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer that goes towards your session fee. You will receive all of your paperwork through Session where you can e-sign and pay online.

Step Two

Plan the Shoot

We will schedule an optional 15-30 minute consultation over Zoom about 1 week before your session to get introduced to one another. This is a great time to go over logistics, tips and tricks, wardrobe, and answer any questions you may have. You are welcome to reach out with any questions before or after the consultation.

Step Three

Select your Photos

Within 48 hours of the session, you will receive a proofing gallery. This gallery contains unedited watermarked images that you will use to select your final photos. The photos you select will be edited and provided to you for download within 14 days of you confirming your selections with me.

Editing

Clean, Polished Photos for Every Occasion

Your memories should feel effortless and natural. Polished doesn’t mean artificial. My editing approach highlights your natural beauty, cleans up distractions, and preserves authentic colors — giving you images that feel both elevated and real.

Skin Retouching

Pimples happen, don’t let it stress you out. I go through each image and make sure to remove blemishes, bruises, and dark circles to ensure natural looking skin.

True to Life Colors

I edit for true to life colors to achieve a classic, timeless look. Trendy edits can date your image so enhancing what we naturally capture is the best way to ensure longevity.

Background Clean-up

We can’t always control what’s happening in the background of our image - especially when shooting in public spaces. I make sure to clean up scuffs, debris, and people in the background.

  • Please use the contact form to reach out to me. We’ll talk through your vision and I’ll help you design a shoot that is perfect for you! Once we have the date, time, and location confirmed, I will send over your contract and invoice to reserve your date. A signed contract and a 50% non-refundable retainer are required to book your shoot.

    You will be able to sign and pay online.

  • All clients are sent a watermarked proofing gallery of unedited images to select their final photos. These images are not available for download. I only provide images that are representative of the overall quality of my work therefore unedited or RAW files will not be provided.

  • You will receive your proofing gallery within 2 days of your session. Once you have confirmed your selections with me, your final edited gallery will be available within 14 days.

  • Yes, you can receive your photos in 3 business days (excludes weekends and holidays) for a rush fee of $100. This turnaround time begins after you have confirmed your selections with me. The fee must be paid in full before editing can begin.

    Rush edits are subject to photographer availability and may not be an option during busy seasons. If you are interested in this option, please request it at booking.

  • We will monitor the weather in the days leading up to your session. If there is severe weather, we will reschedule to the next available date that works for us both.

  • The exact time of your session will be listed on your contract. Unless otherwise discussed, the session will take place in the hours leading up to sunset, known as golden hour. The exact start time will vary based on time of year and the length of the session.

  • A la carte pricing allows you to customize your own package by choosing the length of time you would like to book plus the number of images you would like to purchase.

    Bookings must be for a minimum of 1 hour.

    A la carte pricing is $400/hour and $10/image.

    The a la carte option is best for folks who are only looking for a handful of photos. Otherwise, the portrait packages have a built in discount that is more cost-effective. You can book a package and add additional photos if you would like. For example, my 1 hour package is $550 for 20 photos. If you'd like to add an additional 5 photos, that would come out to a total of $600 for a 1 hour shoot with 25 photos. If you booked this with a la carte pricing, you would pay $400 for the 1 hour session plus $250 for the 25 images which comes out to $650 for the same deliverables.

  • Absolutely! You’re welcome to invite friends and family to your session and have them be a part of the shoot. If you’d like to include your pets, I recommend bringing an extra set of hands to help out!

  • Yes! All of my client testimonials are listed and verified through Google Reviews.

“I got my senior pictures taken by Komal this last spring and I could not have had a better experience! She sat down with me before the shoot and helped come up with the best plan to fit all of my desired locations during my time slot. I also requested to take pictures with my family and Komal was very accommodating. She did a great job helping me pose, look natural in pictures, editing, and sending the completed portfolio in a timely manner. She is the best photographer and I would highly recommend her to anyone!”
