The Shoot (60-90 minutes):

  • We start with more modest outfits to ease you in, then build confidence

  • Guidance on hand placement, angles, expression, you're never left guessing

We Plan Your Vision Together

Over the next few weeks, we'll work together to create your perfect session:

Week 1-2:

  • I'll send you a style questionnaire to understand your vision (soft and elegant? Bold and edgy? Somewhere in between?)

  • You'll receive wardrobe suggestions specific to your style and body type

  • Access to my outfit inspiration gallery showing what works best on camera

Week 3-4:

  • Pre-session consultation call (optional but recommended for first-timers)

  • Final wardrobe confirmation and any last-minute questions answered

  • Playlist suggestions sent (or you can create your own vibe)

72 Hours Before:

  • Final reminder email with arrival time and what to bring

  • Any last jitters? I'm just an email or text away

You'll never feel unprepared or in the dark. I've got you covered every step of the way.

Choose Your Favorites (No Pressure, Ever)

During your same-day reveal, here's how image selection works:

  • You'll view your full gallery of images on a large screen

  • I'll help you narrow down to your absolute favourites (pointing out which ones are the strongest)

  • You choose which images you want as final products. Albums, prints, wall art, or digital files

  • No hidden fees. Clear pricing for every product option.

  • No high-pressure sales. You only pay for what you love.

Can't decide same-day? No problem. You can take 48 hours to think it over.

Payment: Pay for your chosen products before leaving or within 48 hours. That's it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I need to reschedule?

Life happens. If you need to reschedule, just let me know as soon as possible. As long as you give me at least 2 weeks' notice, we can move your session to a new date with no penalty. Less than 2 weeks and your session fee is forfeited, but we can discuss options.

Can I bring someone with me for support?

Absolutely. You're welcome to bring a friend, partner, or family member to be there during hair and makeup. However, during the actual shoot, I find that clients are more relaxed and authentic when it's just us. Your support person is welcome to wait in the lounge area and rejoin you for the reveal.

What if I'm running late on session day?

Text me immediately and we'll adjust. I build buffer time into every session, so being 10-15 minutes late won't ruin anything. If you're going to be significantly late, we may need to shorten the shoot slightly to stay on schedule, but we'll make it work.

How do I prepare my skin/body for the session?

Your welcome guide covers all of this in detail, but the basics: stay hydrated in the days leading up, moisturize well, avoid new skincare products that might cause reactions, and get good sleep the night before. Beyond that? Show up as you are. I'll handle the rest.

How long until I receive my final products after ordering

Digital files: 7-10 days for final editing, then delivered via secure download or USB.
Prints and wall art: 2-3 weeks from order to delivery.
Albums: 4-6 weeks (they're custom-made and worth the wait).

Everything ships with tracking, and I'll keep you updated throughout the process.
