frequently asked questions

What areas do you serve?

I am based in Alpine, California and photograph sessions throughout San Diego County. Travel outside the area may be available depending on the project.

Do you photograph at a studio?

No. All sessions are on location. This allows me to capture animals in the environments they are familiar with, whether that is a ranch, arena, or home setting.

How long does it take to receive photos?

Turnaround time is typically:


Pet and ranch sessions: 1 to 2 weeks

Event coverage: varies depending on size of event

You will receive a private online gallery when your images are ready.


Rush delivery options available.

Can I use the photos for business or marketing?

Yes. Licensing is provided for personal or business web and social media use.

Why Sunlit Acres for marketing?

Sunlit Acres brings together professional marketing experience and firsthand knowledge of the animal and equestrian industries. With a background in social media management for San Diego Magazine and as a Marketing & Media Manager for Echelon Front, I understand how to build a brand, create engaging content, and develop marketing strategies that connect with the right audience.

Testimonials

There were moments during the trip where I completely forgot Lisa was even photographing. She blended in so naturally, and somehow ended up capturing all the parts of the experience we would’ve never thought to document ourselves.
