2. What is your process for photography from start to finish?

• Discovery: We begin with a consultation to discuss your goals, style preferences, and how the images will be used.

• Planning: We select locations, finalize wardrobe or styling details, and prepare any lighting or equipment needed.

• Session Day: I guide you through the shoot, focusing on comfort and natural expression while handling all technical aspects (lighting, composition, timing).

• Editing: I carefully retouch and enhance each image to bring out the best in color, tone, and detail.

• Delivery: You’ll receive a curated, high-resolution online gallery for easy viewing, downloading, and sharing.

3. What is your process for video production from start to finish?

• Discovery: We start with a strategy session to define your story, message, and target audience.

• Pre-Production: I develop a creative plan including shot lists, scripts, and logistics (locations, scheduling, lighting setups).

• Production: On shoot day, I handle all directing, filming, and audio capture to ensure professional-quality footage.

• Post-Production: The raw footage is edited into a polished video with music, color grading, and graphics if needed.

• Delivery: Final videos are provided in high-resolution formats optimized for web, social, and broadcast.

4. Do you help with lighting and setups?

Absolutely. With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in both natural and artificial lighting. From studio strobes to location-based external light sources, I know how to shape light to create striking and professional results in both photography and video.

5. Can you handle both photo and video for the same project?

Yes — that’s what makes Lumina Media unique. I offer both stills and motion, so you can have consistent branding across photos and videos without needing two separate providers.

6. Where do you work?

I serve clients throughout Reno, Lake Tahoe, Northern Nevada, and California (including Sacramento and the Bay Area). Travel outside this region is available upon request.
