Why do we call it an experience?
So glad you asked, let me explain. This isn’t about a photo session, or even the pictures, it’s about YOU! This is about having a meaningful moment to explore your self image. What do you really think of yourself and why? What has society told you, you should believe? Maybe it's time to really listen to your heart and change the narrative?
Take a minute right now, no really!
Stop what you're doing for just a few seconds.
Put your hand over your chest,
and take a deep breath in.
Fill your lungs with all the love in your heart,
now slowly exhale all that fear and doubt. Really feel it leaving your body.
Lastly, the most important part, tell your yourself, "I Love You!"
This is our process:
I. Book the date.
Head on over to my contact page and get yourself set up. Fill in your information and choose a time for us to connect so that we can make sure we're a good fit for each other. After that, we'll choose a date, time, and location for your photoshoot. I go over all the details and help you decide which package or products you'd like to pre-purchase according to your wants and needs. Finally, we handle payment and get the contract signed to confirm everything.
II. Plan the magic.
Once your officially scheduled, we set up a consultation. This can be in person, by phone, or through zoom. Keep in mind that we want it to be at least 3-4 weeks before your shoot date. This gives me a chance to get your welcome package to you and allows us both time to prepare. I will also provide you with a questionnaire to fill out and we'll go over it together. Then we'll start planning the creative details.
III. Have a transformational experience.
It's go time! Now that we have had a chance to get to know each other a little, we are ready to create. I will guide you through everything. That includes posing and emotive expressions. While I will be directing you, I want you to remember, this is your day! I will follow your lead to meet your needs. After our fabulous time together I'll share the after care protocol with you.
IIII. Deliver art.
I do light editing on your entire gallery so that all the images have a finished and cohesive look to them. This process takes about 1-2 weeks. We set up a reveal appointment to coincide with that. This is were you decide on the images for the products you've pre purchased. Of course you can always add more after you see how absolutely stunning you are! From there, it's just a matter of waiting for the goodies to arrive. The turn around time can be around 4-6 weeks, depending on which products you purchased.
This is my first photoshoot, what should I know?
One of the most important things that people overlook is hydration! You'd be amazed at what a huge difference it makes for your skin. So... DRINK THAT WATER! Don't wait for the day before to start either. Get busy making it a habit weeks ahead of time. Added plus, creating healthy habits is one of the best ways to show yourself love.
How many pictures will be in my gallery?
Everyone and every session is divinely unique. The total images produced will differ because of this. However, on the average, each session will create a minimum of 100 images.
Can I bring a friend?
These sessions are about you expressing yourself in an uninhibited and raw way. While you may not realize it we tend to unconsciously censor ourselves, especially around friends and family. So unless your session has been specifically designed to shoot with a partner or in a group setting, then the answer is no.
What do I need to bring with me to my shoot?
This will be different for everyone. We will have a consultation to determine what style and feel you are looking for and I will curate several options from my client closet for you to wear as well as give you ideas of what you might bring from home. By the time your shoot comes around, you'll know exactly what items to bring with you.
Can I send you inspiration photos?
Absolutely! I actually strongly encourage this. It's much easier for me to understand your vision when you have examples to show me.
Do you share my images?
This is ENTIRELY up to you. I would love to show off all of my amazing clients but the choice is always yours. It's very important to me that you feel comfortable and safe. I go over all the sharing options with you when you sign your contract and again at the reveal of your images.
What if I want my hair and make up done?
If you are looking to have your hair and make up done professionally for your photoshoot pop on over to my resource page where I have a recommendation for you.
What do you mean by "Client Closet"?
A client closet is basically an accumulation of clothing, shoes, and other accessories that I have collected for my clients to use during their photo shoots. I have custom handmade gowns that are size adjustable from S-2X as well as robes, ruanas, rebozos, and scarves. In addition, I have shoes from sizes 6 - 10 and lingerie from sizes XS - 3/4X. I also have jewelry, gloves, crowns, halos, hair accessories, hats, fans, and parasols. Your session fee allows you access to all of it!
Be so rooted in yourself that no ones actions or words can disturb your inner peace.
you as Art in
Photography
It is my mission and belief that every person should be framed in the moments they feel the most loved and those moments should be created by you, for you.
How my studio differs from others:
I take great care in making sure your experience will be as unique and empowering as you are. I conduct in-depth consultations to uncover your vision, needs, and desires, ensuring every detail is tailored just for you. To help you feel centered and confident, I provide tools like Reiki infused crystals for self love, a customized pre-recorded breathwork meditation to ease your mind, and recommendations for body positive content to inspire you. When it's time for your session, you'll be stepping into a safe, judgment free space where you're free to express yourself fully. Afterwards I provide support and resources for you to continue on your journey of self discovery. My mission is to not only capture your beauty but also help you connect deeply with your essence, leaving you with a transformative experience that celebrates your truest self.
