Yes, I am happy to come to your home within 15 miles of Arcadia, CA. The Signature, Luxury & Generations packages can all be done at your home.

Select your desired date and note on the booking notes that you’d like to do it at home with the desired address.

Yes, if you refer a friend, you’ll receive a pair of additional files with your package.

If you refer a friend, once they book, email nadine at sachikostudio.com to let me know.

Yes! Small/medium dogs are welcome inside my studio and are subject to a $50 pet fee.

Small/Medium/Large dogs are welcome at ALL outdoor session locations this season at no add’l charge.

Santa Fe Dam willows area does have fox tails that can get stuck in your dog’s feet/fur, but there are other areas within the park that are safer.

If you include your dog, please let me know in advance your fur baby’s name, size, breed. Style your dog down to a styled leash. Need ideas? Just ask me.

Yes of course. As long as the time of day is still compatible with the location, you can change your location up to 1 week prior to the session at no add’l charge.

You may reschedule your session prior to your session due to an illness. HOWEVER, during the holiday season, I do sell out all dates. So if you need to reschedule, I will not have many options for alternate dates. If you reschedule due to anything other than illness or rain, there is a $150 reschedule fee.

If you reschedule more than once due to illness, the $150 reschedule fee will be charged.

I do not offer refunds, but can transfer the value of your session to a later date.

For outdoor sessions, I monitor the weather closely. I will offer a reschedule option if rain is in the forecast when reviewed 5 days prior to your shoot. There is no charge for weather reschedules.

There is a modern urban look just outside my studio, which can be split with your studio session for no add’l cost.

If you’d like to do an old town Pasadena session, I offer those as an option with my Luxury packages, as we need 1 hour for those sessions.

I also offer Crystal Cove (in the Newport Coast area) beach sessions with the Luxury package, but the beach does require a photography permit and I do charge a travel fee of $150. Sundays at Sunset are the best time for Fall Beach shoots. You are responsible for obtaining the beach permit. Ask me for more info if you’re interested.

Sorry, no. My newborn photo experience is a 3 hour experience that must be booked in your 2nd trimester.

All credit cards, Zelle/Venmo (which is preferred) and cash.

No, only the Generations & Premium photo session experience includes Hair & Makeup. However, you may add on hair & makeup to any shoot for $295, which includes professional hair, makeup (with lashes + touchup kit) and includes gratuity. All my artists are highly skilled artists who have serviced over 1,000 clients in their career.
