LOS ANGELES & SOUTH BAY HOLIDAY MINI SESSIONS FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I book my South Bay Holiday mini sessions with Sun & Sparrow?
Our most updated available dates and times are posted. You may look at the sessions available BY DATE or BY LOCATION. Once you have confirmed with your guests to be photographed, please email us and we will secure your spot!
What is the payment schedule?
We ask for a $200 deposit at the time of booking. You are responsible for sending a PayPal gift of $200 at the time of booking. If you do not pay your deposit within 24 hours, your spot will no longer be reserved. The remaining balance is due via PayPal or Cash on the day of your session.
Does this have to be a family session, or can it be anything?
This session can be anything you like! Sessions can be just you, couples, engagements, anniversaries, families, newborns or maternity, puppies, robots, or anything you can think of. (We do have a limit of 7 people per session)
When will my images be available?
Our goal is to send you your gallery of photos within 1 week of your session.
Do we get to choose our 20 images from our session?
Yes! We will provide a beautiful gallery of more than 20 images for you to choose from. You will have the option to choose your favorites or the option of purchasing your more images at $10 each or you may even purchase your entire gallery for an additional $100.
How will we receive our images?
We will send out an email with a link to your gallery. Once you choose your 20 images, we will send you another link to a gallery where you may download the high-resolution JPEGs.
What is it like to work with Sun & Sparrow?
We like to make your photo sessions fun and dreamy. It is our goal to create a beautiful collection of photos so that you can remember your family as they are this year. We love posed portraits as well as a variety of candid photos as well. When you take photos with us, we try to make it as fun and beautiful as possible. When we edit, we also have a very clean, light, and bright editing style.
What if it rains on our mini-session day?
For Malaga Cove Plaza clients, we will have the sessions regardless of rain. For all other clients, we will offer to either reschedule or shoot in the rain. :)
What do you recommend we wear?
Your outfits are always the most important thing to consider. I always recommend feeling as fabulous as possible. We do recommend wearing more formal outfits, which will help create beautiful fairytale-inspired memories. Coordinating colors and patterns is a great way to make your photos stand out. I do not recommend matching outfits, but if you think this "goes together", then you're probably on the right track.
If I want to print these photos, where do you recommend I go?
We have an online gallery to purchase professional prints. We try to make buying high-quality and color-accurate prints easy and simple. If you want to put a print from our shoot on your wall, all you have to do is click on the cart and purchase. If you are looking for holiday cards or something more specific to your needs, our favorite site for cards is MINTED.COM, especially on that extra-thick cardstock.

Ellie Fuqua
Luxury Photographer, Fairytale Storyteller
In my 15 years of photographing weddings, my interest in photography has grown from simply making pretty pictures -to creating the most wonderful and powerful moments for kind and loving people, all the while capturing those permanent memories.
It is a dream come true to create awe-inspiring imagery to match your unforgettable moments and I hope that by creating your wedding imagery together, we can make your wedding dreams come true too.
From A Real Sun & Sparrow Bride
We are so lucky to have found Ellie and her team to be our engagement and wedding photographers. Ellie is so kind and creative and so passionate about capturing great and memorable photos. We had the best time doing our engagement photos at the beach with our pup, and she made us feel very comfortable the whole time. On our wedding day, everything went so smoothly and she made us feel so relaxed so we were able to enjoy the day and all our photo sessions with no stress or pressure. We love all the results and how she and her team capture, not only us as a couple but the family, friends, and our wedding space. We couldn't imagine a better experience and results and we are forever grateful to have these photos to remember the best day in our lives.

This wedding was a long awaited day for me.
I met Helen last year in Seattle at my optometrist`s office (far away, I know...) who is the receptionist there. She was the sweetest, most compassionate and fun-loving person to navigate a confusing new part of my journey as someone who now wears glasses permanently. In any case, she and I have gotten to know each other through the process of glasses+weddings (such a funny combo!). I have watched her journey and gotten to know so much about the depth of how she cares for people, and its so so beautiful.
She`s one of the youngest brides I have ever worked with, and it has shown me SO MUCH about my next generation of brides and how I CANNOT WAIT for those weddings coming soon. The energy coming into the next era of weddings is so fresh and blissful, Something we all need much more of in the world.
Helen, Youre a gem. I`m so thoroughly grateful for you and the fun stories we have created together.
Cheers to Helen and all the brides getting married in this era! WOO!
Had the absolute pleasure of taking pictures of my friends and neighbors who have been the most welcoming and lovely people to live near.
The fact that my little family gets to share life with these warm and thoughtful humans is what I have always dreamed about. I`m so grateful they trusted me to capture these portraits for them at the cutest lake down the road. Its wild how beautiful this place is!
People, nature, and all the love. Its doesn`t get better.
