STEP THREE
TIMELINE & NEXT STEPS
THE ART OF PORTRAITS
Every portrait begins with a Discovery Call, where we connect on your vision and explore what makes this experience meaningful for you. We’ll talk about how you want to see yourself in your portraits, why this photo shoot matters, and how I design with care and intention to translate your needs into images and products you will love. This way, you know exactly what to expect and the process feels seamless from start to finish.
Some clients keep it simple with a Portrait Refresh. Others step fully into a Signature Session with books, wall art, or folio boxes. You decide how your portraits live, whether as a handful of digital images or a full artful collection.
When you’re ready, inquire to book your Discovery Call. From there:

FAQ
YOU CAN FIND ANSWERS TO MOST QUESTIONS HERE
HOW FAR OUT SHOULD I BOOK MY SHOOT?
We encourage you to connect with our studio as early as possible to customize your experience and project. While bookings are usually scheduled 1 to 3 months in advance, we recommend planning at least 4 weeks ahead for sessions other than headshots. Let us know your preferred dates, and we’ll do our best to accommodate you.
WHAT IS THE ESTIMATED COST OF A SESSION
Because each client has unique needs (digitals, collections, albums, or wall art) the final investment varies. You have complete control over how much you spend. A non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your session. This covers your design & style consultation, photoshoot, and is applied toward your final purchase. We’ll discuss all pricing details during your initial Discovery Zoom call to find the best fit for you. Payment options are available.

CAN YOU SHOOT MY BRANDING SESSION AT MY LOCATION?
Yes, and I encourage it if it supports the story you want to tell. Your branding session is thoughtfully tailored to you, which means we can photograph in your office, storefront, home, or another space that reflects your work and your energy. We can also rent a studio or location that helps bring your brand vision to life. Travel or location fees may apply depending on where we shoot, but everything will be discussed during your consultation so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
WHEN CAN I BOOK MY SESSION?
Portrait sessions are scheduled by appointment, Monday – Friday. We’ll confirm your session time during your discovery call.

CAN I DO MY HAIR AND MAKEUP?
Absolutely! Our studio celebrates each individual exactly as they are. Whether you prefer to do your own, hire a professional, opt for a natural look with minimal styling, or anything in between, your choice is fully supported here! We can discuss it further in your consultation.
MY VISION FOR MY PORTRAIT/BOUDOIR SESSION INVOLVES A LOCATION, CAN YOU MAKE THAT HAPPEN?
Absolutely. Your session can take place wherever your story feels most true. That might be your home, a meaningful location, a boutique hotel, your place of business, or even a studio space we rent for the day. I’m happy to travel if your vision takes us beyond the local area. We’ll go over any travel or location fees during your consultation so there are no surprises. Together, we’ll create something beautiful and intentional in a space that feels just right for you.
