Session details and process

  • Whether you are ready to dive in, or want to just chat with me first, it all starts by contacting me.  I’ll send you my welcome brochure and answer any questions you might have and when you’re ready we’ll schedule a 30-minute zoom chat.

    This is a great time to get comfortable with me, especially if you’re a bit nervous. Once we talk, you’ll feel way more comfortable and excited! We’ll go over any and every question you have, nothing is TMI I promise, I’ve heard it allllll! We’ll also talk style, hair & makeup, what to wear, and prints & art products.

    This is not a sales session, there is zero pressure to book or buy upsells, I’m truly here to connect with you and help in any way I can to make the experience joyful and fulfilling. If we’re a good fit to work together, we’ll look at the calendar and pick a date for your session.

  • Your day in front of the camera! Depending on the type of session you book, your session will last 1 to 4 hours. If your session includes Hair & Makeup, we’ll ask you to arrive with clean hair and clean skin, ready for hair & makeup. You can sip some coffee or champagne, and chat with us while you get styled up, it’s a great way to settle in and relax before your session!

    You’ll get to know my hair & makeup artist, she’s amazing! It’s only ever us two at the studio, and she doesn’t stay for your session. I don’t have assistants or share the space with anyone else, it’s super private.

    Once we’ve picked out your first outfit and you’re feeling ready, we’ll begin with some easy poses to get started, and before you know it you’ll be right at home.

    Anytime you need a little break, we’ll stop and sip some water, refresh any curls or makeup if needed, change outfits, and then carry on. If you have any specific poses in mind, be sure to bring them on your phone for reference. I never duplicate shots exactly, but it can be helpful to see the spirit or vibe of what catches your eye.

    So many clients have said that sessions are easier and more fun then they expected, which makes me so happy to hear!

    After your session expect to be a little hungry and tired, you are doing something new and challenging, so treat yourself kindly! It can be nice to plan a lunch or dinner since you’ll be glammed up, or just a relaxing soak in the bath to unwind and relax. You just did something amazing, celebrate!

  • After the photoshoot, I will download your images, choose the best ones and edit them with my signature style. I never do digital plastic surgery (you know those magazine covers? Yeah, we don’t do that!) but I will zap any blemishes that might pop up, or any scratches or bruises, any temporary things that might pop up. I edit for light and color, and and give you black and white as well as color versions.

    Once your images are all edited, I’ll get in touch to schedule your reveal, typically 1-3 weeks after your session. 

    * *possibly longer in busy seasons but I always keep your deadline in mind. **If you need a tighter turnaround, just ask! Next-day reveals can be arranged for a rush fee. *schedule permitting.

    You’ll see your images in a slideshow, and then I’ll help you choose which ones you’d like printed, and go over any additional prints or products you’d like to add on, and then everything will get bundled up and shipped straight to you! 

    I edit your best images and present all the photos that you’ll receive, so you never have to choose between them except when choosing your prints. 

    Different session types come with different numbers of images, which you can see in more detail below. If you love them and want me to edit extra, you totally can. Extra hours and days of editing can be added on at any point. 

    The reveal is never sales-y, it’s a celebration of you and your beautiful photos, and helping you choose how you’ll treasure and live with them, and I’m here to guide you through all of that. 

    I use a professional grade printer that offers the finest quality prints and albums. They are truly lovely and I know you’re going to love them! 

    I personally proof and package all your art pieces, bundle them up in my sustainable packaging and send them off to you. 

    Once they ship, you’ll get a tracking number so you can keep an eye on your prints every step of the way. If you prefer to arrange a personal pick up of your products, just let me know! Pickup at the studio is free if I’m there, or I can deliver to your house, office, or  other location for a small fee, depending on the distance. 

    Congratulations! You are now the proud co-creator of Fine Art featuring your own beautiful person. I am humbled to be a part of your self-love journey, and I know you’ll love and treasure these images forever. 

FAQs

  • If you’re on a deadline, contact me as soon as possible. Dates book up several months in advance depending on the month, or I might have a last minute opening next week. Typically I book up to 6 months out. The turnaround time is about 3-4 weeks including ship times so plan accordingly for special events. If you’re a planner and you’re really far out, it doesn’t hurt to go ahead and get in touch so we can start planning, or reserve a date if you have one in mind. I have started chatting with future clients as much as 2 years before their sessions!

  • I usually tell clients to think of your session as a special event, like a wedding. You want to feel your best, but you don’t need to go overboard. When we chat I’ll go over the important stuff, and you’ll get access to my full timeline checklist that has everything you’ll need to get ready for your day in front of the camera.

  • What you show is totally up to you! For setups like the In The Sheets, you can cover up entirely, stick a leg out, or bare it all for a few shots if you want.

    The Shadowbox looks gorgeous fully nude, because it’s all about celebrating your shape and skin, but plenty of clients do a hybrid with some more clothed, and some nude. You can always see how you feel on the day.

    Even if you are completely nude, rest assured that my images are always tasteful and classic.

    You don’t even have to wear lingerie if that’s not your thing. A tank top, slouchy sweater over a bralette, flowy shirt, even leggings, there are so many ways to customize a session to fit your comfort and taste.

  • You will need to bring your own outfits. Because I photograph women of all different sizes, I do not keep more than a few universal prop pieces at the studio (I have a few lacy robes, a veil, some fun fabric.)

    We’ll thoroughly go over wardrobe when we chat, but depending on which session you book you’ll want to bring a few outfits. My advice is to start in your closet, you may have a simple black bra & underwear set, or a bodysuit, paired with a sweater, white shirt, jean jacket, leather jacket, tank top, whatever you have and there you go! So many options to choose from already!

    If you do want to do some shopping, I’ll make some suggestions when we chat about what I think might fit your style best, and share my master list of lingerie sites with you.

  • I never post your photos anywhere without your permission. At the Reveal session you’ll have the opportunity to decide which, if any, photos you are comfortable sharing, and if you don't want to share any, that's totally ok! Your images are private to you unless you choose otherwise.

  • After your session it typically takes 1-weeks for me to edit your session. Once your images are ready, we will schedule a reveal session where you will see all your beautiful images!

    At the Reveal you’ll decide which images you want to print and what type of products you’d like.

    Once your order is placed, it usually takes another week to receive your products.

  • If you are an influencer, small business, or model or just looking for a more creative shoot with a specific look in mind, let me know! I work with brands and businesses all the time. Or if you have done a session before with me or someone else and you want to talk about a special location, or more personalized style, I’m always up for a fun, creative challenge.
