THE EXPERIENCE - WHAT TO EXPECT

THE INITAL CONSULTATION

Your experience begins with a complimentary consultation by phone to:

Discuss my philosophy and make sure I’m a good fit.
Learn what your goals are for the shoot.
Discuss pricing options for your investment and how I can help.

Then, if you want to book, we will schedule an in-person full planning session.

PLANNING FOR THESHOOT

Once you decide to move forward, we will meet to plan your shoot experience and cover all the bases. Whether you’re marking a career change, entering a new branding venture, or treating yourself to a goddess-like experience to build your confidence, I’ll work with you to create a roadmap toward your goals. We’ll discuss setting, wardrobe (& you will have full access to my studio wardrobe), hair, and makeup to make sure you look and feel your best. We’ll handle the setup for the day of the shoot in advance.

GETTING READY - DAY OF SHOOT

On the day of your shoot, a hair and makeup team, along with your outfit choices, will be ready and waiting for your arrival. The minute you walk into the studio, you will be entering a fun and relaxed environment completely focused on pampering you so you can flourish.

THE DAY OF
THE SHOOT

Arrive for your experience, RELAX and ENJOY! We’ll have snacks, champagne, and plenty of encouragement to make sure you’re ready for your transformation and moment in the spotlight. You can be sure I’ll be your number one cheerleader from start to finish! While I’ll be giving you directives and feedback throughout, my objective is to help you feel as comfortable, confident, and beautiful as possible so that we capture your most authentic self.

THE REVEAL

After the shoot, we’ll schedule a time to review your images for an initial reveal. You will be able to see your beautiful portraits and witness that experience and positive feeling reflected back to you. This is your chance to pick out your favorites for prints, wall art, and more. When your images arrive, your order will be delivered to you for total enjoyment. And, you will see the end result of the experience – you as art.

YOU AS ART

We will personally deliver your portraits and install the items you’ve ordered for your home or office.
