Sacramento is the camellia capital city and these beautiful blooms are starting to bloom all over town! Camellias are beautiful flowers that bloom in shades of pink, red, white, and variegated, and make the most fun and colorful portrait backdrop. New portraits are a great way to show your face on social, email marketing, and to celebrate yourself in this new year.

FAQ:

• How do I prepare for my shoot? I'll send a confirmation email once your session is reserved. Review the portrait session guide with tips on preparing for your shoot! NEW: Camellia session guide with details on this specific shoot!
• What about covid? I'm vaxxed but will stay a safe distance away. Shoots will take place outside in open air.  If anyone has been exposed to or has symptoms of covid, we can reschedule.
• What do we wear? Wear clothes that you feel comfortable and confident in. Coordinate with the camellias! Black, white, jeans, and neutral colors won't contrast with the colors of the flowers, but if you want to go all colorful with a floral dress, go for it!
• How do I get my photos? Your gallery is delivered digitally via email about a week or two after our photo session.
• What if there's smoke/rain/bad weather? We can totally reschedule if any of these things come up! If it's raining, I usually check the weather the evening before. The clouds can add a nice mood to photos, but if it's pouring rain let's reschedule. I have a cute clear umbrella to use on sprinkley days.
• Do I have to pay with Paypal? My site uses paypal in checkout, but if you prefer to pay online by credit card, let me know and I'll send an invoice.
