FAQ
How can you describe your artistic vision?
I like to keep things simple and relaxed. I do not force poses. I let people settle in and moments happen naturally. With a mix of light guidance and candid shooting, I create portraits and event images that feel natural and easy to connect with.What type of photography do you specialize in?
I specialize in headshots, portraits, and event photography. My focus is on natural expressions and real moments, whether that means relaxed studio headshots or calm, behind-the-scenes coverage of corporate and private events.Who is this not fit for?
If you want heavy edits that change facial features, or a highly stylized “filter” look, our approach may not match your goals. We focus on natural retouching and a professional finish that still looks like you.How can I pay for a session?
You can pay by check, cash, Apple Pay, Zelle, CashApp, ACH, or with a debit/credit card - either online or in person. Any prepayment can be completed online with a card. I process payments through Square.Who runs Pacifica Studio?
