Frequently asked questions

WHAT DO YOU SHOOT?

My specialty is families with young children, maternity, and newborns.

WHAT IS YOUR SYTLE?

I am a natural light lifestyle photographer. I focus on love and connection above all else. I offer a mix of posed and candid photography in every gallery.

For newborn photos, I photograph with baby led minimal posing approach, focusing on cuddles and comfort over posing and props.

HOW MANY PHOTOS DO YOU GIVE?

I guarantee a minimum of 60 images delivered to online gallery. During our shoot I will take a ton of photos, but I carefully curate only the best shots. The blurry or blinking shots are securely discarded.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO RECEIVE MY PHOTOS?

You will receive your photos within 2 weeks of your photoshoot date.

WHERE DO YOU SHOOT? HOW DO WE CHOOSE LOCATIONS?

I am based in the East Bay, and typically shoot within 20 minutes of Hayward 94544. Travel fees may apply to further locations.

When you book I will send a list of my favorite local photo spots to choose from. That said, I love trying out new places so if you have a place in mind that is special to you, just let me know!

WHEN DO YOU SHOOT?

For on location outdoor photoshoots, I prefer to start within an hour or 2 of sunset for that golden light. Timing can vary based on specific location and weather. For example, a photoshoot in an open field will take place later than a photoshoot in a forest due to shady tree coverage.

For at home indoor photoshoots, I typically shoot in the late mornings, starting at 10am or 11am.

HOW LONG DO YOUR PHOTOSHOOTS LAST?

My photoshoots take a little bit longer than your average photoshoot, because I love capturing a huge variety for your gallery. On location shoots typically last 60-90 mins. Newborn lifestyle photoshoots can last up to 2 hours due to feeding and diaper breaks.

WHAT DOES A TYPICAL SESSION WITH YOU LOOK LIKE?

There is no typical session since every family, location, and lighting is different. But I would love to create photos that capture your family’s unique magic. Check out my blog for many examples: https://www.youngsoulphotography.com/blog

WHAT GEAR DO YOU USE?

I bring two full frame Nikon D750s to every shoot. My go to lenses are the 35mm 1.8, 85mm 1.4, and 20mm 1.8.

WHAT IF I’M AWKWARD AND UNPHOTOGENIC?

No such thing as unphotogenic! Don’t worry, I got you. All you need to do is show up and show love to your family, I will direct you every step of the way. The only thing that matters is we get photos of connection and joy.

DO YOU OFFER PRINTS?

Yes! You can place print orders directly from your online gallery. Orders will be fulfilled by a professional photo lab.
