what should i bring to my shoot?
Nude-toned undergarments, outfits you love, favorite shoes (or go barefoot), and any fun accessories—think sunglasses, bangles, silk gloves, even a bold costume piece. We’ll style it all together.
how does this work?
To book a session, schedule your preferred date. A non-refundable fee is required to reserve. This fee covers the planning, your shoot, and a personalized image reveal appointment. After your session, you’ll return for an image reveal to view your portraits and choose from a variety of prints, albums, and digital collections.
cAN I GET A PACKAGE OR ADD-ONS LATER?
Up to 1 week after your reveal. Some add-ons we can accommodate up until the shoot or reveal, but some require more lead-time. Please inquire for more information.
What if I'm nervous before the session?
Most feel nervous at first. That’s why we ease in slowly, with music, ritual, and conversation to ground you. You don’t have to know how to pose or perform. Your only job is to show up and be guided every step of the way.
How long does a session take?
Hair and makeup is typically 1.5-2.5 hours. The shoot is 1.5 hours unless you decide to add extra time.
