Experience - Mariah Berdiago Photography

I freeze moments and turn them into memories that last a lifetime.

I like to focus on candid and real expressions while also guiding my clients through various poses. Even if it's your first time in front of the camera it will feel like a completely natural experience. We'll get to know each other and have fun, because having a photoshoot is a memory in itself!

FAQ

This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?

Just focus on having fun and being yourself! Don't worry about not knowing how to pose or feeling unphotogenic, I will guide you through everything. I will send some helpful tips in the booking confirmation as well if you choose to book me!

What should I wear?

Wear whatever makes you feel good and confident, but also prioritize comfort over style. If you feel restrained or uncomfortable, it will show. For families and couples, you don't have to match, but some coordination makes for more cohesive looking photos.

How many pictures will I receive?

This is dependent on how long of a session you book with me. More time equals more photos! The amount of photos received is detailed in my pricing page.

Are you available outside of the Bay Area?

Yes! However there is a travel fee for any locations outside of 50 miles of Oakland, CA at $1 per mile.

Do you do other types of photography?

Yes! I also do event and product, although it is not advertised on my site. If you are interested in those please fill out the contact form and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

What if I don't have a location?

No problem! I have a list of locations all over the Bay Area. Just let me know what city you are in or would like to shoot in and I will send you a list of my favorite spots.
