Taberique Photography
Based in San Francisco Bay Area
With over 10 years of experience, I believe the most powerful stories are the real ones—the unfiltered, effortless moments that make your life truly beautiful. My approach is natural and relaxed, guiding you gently through your session while embracing the light and sharing in the laughter. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just genuine connections and authentic emotions. Come as you are—honest, open, perfectly you.

THE EXPERIENCE
What to expect
From enquiry to the day itself, I am there to help you with whatever you need. Whether its styling advice, payment plans, location inspiration — put your trust in me.
Booking
When we’ve decided on a date I’ll pop over a contract and invoice for you. Once the booking fee of $100 is paid and you’ve had a read through and signed your contract you’re all booked in!
You’ll be given my personal number upon booking so we can chat and exchange location ideas, colour palettes and discuss all the details.
Guides
Every session—whether it’s a wedding or a mini shoot—includes a digital copy of my comprehensive prep guides, filled with everything I’ve learned over the past 10+ years. From styling and location tips to prop recommendations, these guides cover it all, ensuring you feel confident and prepared. Whatever you need to know, I’ve got you covered!
On the day
I’ll meet you at our chosen spot and we’ll go from there! Hopefully you’ll feel like you’re meeting a friend more than meeting your photographer (and I’ll chat your ear off regardless!)
Prompting and directing is what I know best. I’ll guide you through the shoot to make it seamless and easy. Follow my lead and we’ll create some magic.
After the shoot
Your full gallery will fly into your inbox approximately 1 week after your shoot!
Questions and answers
What should we wear?
Now this is the least of your worries because I’ll be sending you a style guide plus you’ll have me on hand via WhatsApp/Instagram/email for any personalized advice. When in doubt just think neutrals, neutrals, neutrals.
Should we bring anything?
If you have little ones then snacks are a must! When thinking of bribes (trust me they help!) think sweeties or crisps, the last thing we want is messy food when it comes to toddlers. Blankets, picnics, a bottle of prosecco for a couples session, you can bring anything along that you think will elevate your photos or add a bit of a storytelling aspect to them! The world is your oyster.
I feel uncomfortable in front of the camera, what should I do?
Wanna know a secret? Most people do. We’re not all trained models and trust me its a skill that most of us don’t appreciate near enough. I’ll gently prompt and guide you into positions and light that I know photograph beautifully. When you focus your energy on each other the rest of the nerves just tend to melt away. Just try and live in that moment, breathe, don’t panic. It’ll be so much easier than you think
What about the weather?
If it’s tipping it down don’t worry I wont make you shoot in a thunderstorm. We’ll simply rearrange to the next best date and do a little sun dance to give the forecast a helping hand.
