When will we receive our photos?

Your professionally edited online gallery will be delivered within 1–2 weeks after your session. You’ll be able to view, select, and download your images directly from your private gallery.

When are Los Angeles Arboretum sessions available?

I’ll be photographing at the Los Angeles Arboretum on October 24, 2026, with a limited number of sessions available throughout the day. If you’re interested in another date, contact me directly and I’ll be happy to check availability for a private Arboretum session.

How do I book a family photo session with you?

Choose your preferred session above and use the booking button to select an available October 24 time. Your session is reserved once your booking and required deposit are completed. If you're interested in another Arboretum date, contact me directly to check availability.

What happens after I book?

Once you’re booked, I’ll be in touch with everything you need to prepare for your session, including location details and anything else that will help you feel ready. During the session, I’ll guide you with posing and prompts so you never have to worry about what to do in front of the camera.

Who are these sessions for?

These sessions are great for families, couples, maternity, graduates, and anyone looking to document a season of life in a beautiful outdoor setting.

Do you photograph families with young children or babies?

Yes. I've been photographing families with kids of all ages for over 15 years. My approach is simple: I don't care if your child looks at my camera. I care that they look at you. The best photos of kids are never the posed ones anyway.

What if I need to reschedule?

If something comes up, reach out to me as soon as possible. Because October 24 is the scheduled Arboretum date, availability for another Arboretum session may be limited. I’ll work with you to review the options available based on your booking terms.

What should we wear?

Neutral tones, soft colors, and coordinating outfits photograph beautifully at the Arboretum. Rather than matching exactly, choose colors and textures that complement each other and feel like you.

Once you’re booked, I’m happy to help with outfit planning or answer any questions about what will photograph best for your session.

Testimonials

“Sergio did a mommy-and-me session for my 10-month-old son and me. We were incredibly happy with our experience!

Despite the challenges of working with a little one and capturing the perfect moments, Sergio's patience and kindness prevailed. The final results are beyond our expectations. The pictures are simply amazing!

Thank you, Sergio!”

My pregnancy photos came out great and couldn’t ask for anything else. Sergio made us feel comfortable and we loved every moment.

I would recommend him for any photo shoot event. 😁”

“I bought a mini shoot as a gift to my sister, her husband and my beautiful niece as she's about to celebrate her 1st mother's day and 1st Birthday.

They loved the experience and really liked how Sergio paid closed attention to details.

Contacting Sergio was so easy and he was very quick to respond. Sergio was willing to accommodate any needs.

Thank you Sergio. I'm now booking my family session and recommending to all my friends!”

“My sister and I purchased a Mother's Day session for my mom, and the experience was amazing!

My mom, who's a bit camera shy, actually had so much fun doing it; we all did! Sergio was great and so patient.

I would highly recommend booking a session with him :)”
