1. What types of photography do you offer?

I specialize in Reno and Lake Tahoe, California photography, including portraits, commercial, editorial, real estate, and lifestyle sessions. Whether you need professional business headshots, branding photography, family portraits, or property showcases, I tailor each session to your goals with a focus on natural style and storytelling.

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—whether for business profiles, websites, or marketing in Reno, Tahoe, or California.

• Planning: We select locations (from Tahoe’s scenic backdrops to Reno’s urban settings and California’s diverse landscapes), finalize wardrobe or styling details, and prepare any lighting or equipment.

• Session Day: I guide you through the shoot, focusing on comfort and natural expression while handling technical aspects like lighting, composition, and timing. This applies to headshots, portraits, real estate photography, or video sessions.

• Editing: Every image is carefully retouched and enhanced to bring out the best in color, tone, and detail. My photo editing ensures professional-quality results.

• 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 discuss your story, goals, and audience, whether you’re a Reno business needing a corporate video, a California company looking for promotional content, or a real estate agent showcasing Tahoe properties.

• Planning: Storyboarding, script guidance, and shot lists are created. Locations and timing are finalized.

• Production Day: I handle filming, direction, audio, and lighting to create engaging video content.

• Editing: I bring everything together with professional video editing, color grading, and sound design.

• Delivery: Final videos are delivered in web-ready and high-resolution formats, ready for websites, social media, or presentations.

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.
