PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
COLUMBUS / ATLANTA GA
Every portrait begins with a story waiting to be seen, and designed to meet you where you are.
BEGIN FROM THAT QUIET YES
STEP ONE
CONNECTION & VISION
Every session begins with a simple, grounded conversation.
We talk about what brought you here, what you’re hoping for, and the tone you want your images to hold. Whether we connect by video or in person, this is where I listen so your session can be shaped with clarity and ease.
For some clients, this is brief and practical. For others, it becomes a deeper exploration of style, mood, or emotion.
Wherever you land, you’ll receive simple guidance on what to wear, how to prepare, and what to expect so you feel supported from the start.
STEP TWO
THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
Your session is guided from the moment we begin.
You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do.
I read your energy, offer direction, and let the session unfold at a pace that feels natural.
Some sessions are light and efficient.
Some are expressive and layered.
Some move between studio and nature.
Each offering has its own rhythm:
Classic is simple and focused.
Signature allows more space and exploration.
Editorial becomes a slower, intuitive collaboration.
Every session shares the same intention.
To create images that feel honest, grounded, and fully yours.
STEP THREE
THE REVEAL
When your portraits are ready, you’ll be invited to a private reveal to choose the images you love most. You’ll see a curated selection, explore your options, and decide how you’d like to keep them.
Digital collections are the foundation of every session, with optional upgrades for clients who want to create something more tangible. Every decision is guided with care so what you take home feels meaningful and true.
