Always Free

The pre-shoot consultation.

Every session starts with a no-charge call to talk through outfits, mood, and any questions. By phone, FaceTime, or in-person if you're already in Costa Rica.

A new offering

The boudoir video.

A short cinematic film woven from your session — slow-motion movement, ambient sound, and the kind of mood you can't capture in a still. Roughly 60 to 90 seconds, scored to a track of your choosing.

Many of my clients tell me the video ends up being their favorite thing from the whole experience. It's added to either session above for an extra $400 (Half-Day) or $700 (Full Day).

Beyond the Villa

Costa Rica add-ons.

Three location experiences only possible here. Load into the 4×4 and we'll shoot somewhere you've never been before — unless you live in Costa Rica.

Sunset

Private Beach

An unmarked private beach reachable only by 4×4 — gold-hour light, no crowd, no other photographer ever. Included in the Sunrise to Sunset package, or added to any other tier.

+$600 add-on

Weather permitting.

Seasonal

Hidden Waterfall

A private waterfall a short drive from the villa — green moss, cool water, jungle light. Only running parts of the year, so we time it for the right season.

+$700 add-on

Subject to seasonal water flow.

On Location

Horseback Session

If you've always wanted a portrait on horseback, we can arrange it — a trained, photographable horse meets us on the beach or open land near the villa. The kind of frame your grandkids will hang on the wall.

+$500 add-on

Booked 2+ weeks in advance.

Mix and match — many clients add two or all three to a Full Villa Day or Weekend Retreat. Talk to me on the pre-shoot call and we'll build the right day around your light.

Travel sessions in the U.S.

I'm based in Jaco and regularly travel to clients in Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, and Washington state. The same session structure applies — same experience, same care, same prices. Travel and lodging are quoted separately, at cost, once we lock in dates.

Florida
Hawaii
Nevada
Washington

Outside these states? Reach out anyway — custom travel sessions can be quoted for most U.S. destinations.

Custom

Weekend retreats & multi-day shoots.

For couples, content creators, or anyone who wants to spread the experience across 2–4 days. Multiple shoots, multiple settings, and full use of the villa. Weekend retreats start at $6,000 and are quoted individually based on length and scope.

Booking & Process

Everything, before you ask.

A shoot at the villa is a meaningful investment. Below is exactly how it works — every step, every policy, every add-on — so there are no surprises.

Booking & Payment

  • Reserving your date: A non-refundable $500 retainer reserves your date and is applied to your final balance.
  • Balance due: 14 days before your shoot. Travel and lodging are quoted separately at cost once dates are confirmed.
  • Payment methods: Bank transfer, Zelle, PayPal, Venmo, or major credit card.
  • Rescheduling: Free with 14+ days notice. Inside 14 days, retainer is forfeit and a new retainer secures the new date.
  • Cancellations: Retainers are non-refundable. Balance refunded only if cancelled 14+ days before shoot date.

Shoot Day Logistics

  • Call time: Depends on package and light — sunrise sessions start 7am, full-day at 8am, half-day flexible.
  • Arrival: Wear something comfortable. Hair and makeup happen at the villa with espresso and music.
  • Wardrobe: A curated wardrobe is provided. You're welcome to bring favorites — we'll talk through everything on the pre-shoot call.
  • Guests: One guest may join you in the lounge or pool areas. On set is closed unless arranged in advance.
  • Weather: Sessions have built-in buffer time. If the day must be moved, we'll work with you based on availability.
  • What's provided: Refreshments, lunch, champagne for the reveal, and access to the full property for the duration of your booking.

Photo Delivery & Retouching

  • Same-day reveal: Boudoir sessions include a private viewing the same day so you choose your favorites before you fly home.
  • Proof gallery: Online proofing gallery delivered within 5 business days. Watermarked, private link.
  • Final retouched images: Delivered within 15 business days of your final selections.
  • Standard retouching included: Exposure and color correction, blemish removal, stray hair cleanup, skin tone balancing.
  • Advanced retouching: Head swaps, body reshaping, tattoo removal, complex background edits — $100/hour, quoted before work begins.
  • Gallery access: Online gallery available for 1 year. Reactivation after that is $75.

RAW Images & Image Rights

  • Watermarked RAW proofs: May not be downloaded, shared, or published.
  • Unwatermarked RAW images: Available for purchase at $50 each or $1,000 for the full set — ideal for models and creators who need raw files for self-editing.
  • Exclusive image rights: Want full control so neither I nor anyone else can ever publish your images? Exclusive rights available for $750.
  • Privacy by default: Nothing is ever published — Instagram, the website, anywhere — without your explicit written permission.

A Note on Privacy

  • The studio location is shared with confirmed clients ahead of the shoot.
  • Many of my favorite clients are entirely private and have never authorized any image to be shown anywhere. That's exactly how it should be.
  • If you'd like to be added to the portfolio with full credit, we'll talk about it after the reveal — never before.
