PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
BY CALDERÓN FOTO
COLUMBUS / ATLANTA GA
Two Signature Pathways Designed to Meet You Where You Are
Portrait Refresh and Signature Sessions offer intentional, guided experiences that honor your story, whether for modern portraits, fine art boudoir, or personal branding.
STEP ONE
CHOOSE YOUR PATH
Every portrait journey begins with a choice: do you want to immerse yourself fully in the experience or start with something simple and flexible? Both pathways are guided with the same artistry and care. Once you’ve chosen your path, we’ll shape it around what matters most to you. Curious which experience fits your story best? View Portraits Refined for a deeper look at investment options and what each session includes.
THE SIGNATURE SESSION
A refined portrait experience that blends art direction, storytelling, and modern portraiture.
Each session is approached as a commissioned body of work, crafted with intention and guided by your vision. Your portraits are created through a collaborative process, resulting in an elevated, editorial collection that is uniquely yours. Following your session, you’ll experience a private reveal where you’ll select your curated collection and explore optional upgrades designed to enhance the way your portraits are displayed and preserved.
Best for: Full Branding stories, Modern Portraits, Fine Art Boudoir, or anyone seeking a deeply personalized and lasting experience.
A flexible, à la carte intro session for updates and smaller scale portrait needs.
Your journey begins with a session retainer, which secures your photoshoot and is fully applied toward your purchase. From there, you’ll have the freedom to choose from our à la carte menu: Select only what fits your vision, whether that’s a handful of images or a statement Wall Art piece for your home or business.
Best for: Headshots, professional refreshes, single statement portraits, or clients who want to start small and curate their own collection.

Images shaped around what matters most to you. Together, we’ll design a session that feels true to your story.
MODERN PORTRAITS
Quiet, timeless, and deeply personal, these sessions honor who you are in this season of life and the story you’re creating. Whether individual, beyond beauty, outdoors in nature, or shared with loved ones, each portrait is an intentional celebration of presence and connection.
Designed for entrepreneurs, professionals, and creatives ready to elevate their presence. From a clean, confident headshot to a full Signature Branding Session, these portraits bring clarity, consistency, and storytelling power to your image library, giving your brand the impact it deserves.
Intimate, powerful, and expressive. Fine Art Boudoir is for those ready to embrace their beauty in a way that feels artful, elevated, and wholly their own. These sessions are guided with care, designed to bring out your most confident self.
STEP THREE
TIMELINE & NEXT STEPS
THE ART OF PORTRAITS
Every portrait begins once your session is secured. This is where we connect with intention, explore your vision, and design a photo experience that reflects how you want to see yourself. Together, we’ll map out your styling, mood, and the emotional tone of your portraits so that every detail feels thoughtful and personal.
Your journey always concludes with your Private Reveal Session, where you’ll see your portraits for the first time and choose the images you can’t imagine leaving behind.

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 signature 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 a Portrait Refresh. 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 HELP ME WITH WHAT TO WEAR?
Certainly! Our wardrobe consultation service is designed to provide personalized assistance to ensure that you present yourself in the best possible light for your photoshoot or session. Here's a more detailed explanation of what the consultation entails: - Assessment of Current Wardrobe - Outfit Selection - Recommendations and Suggestions - Branding Alignment Our goal is to alleviate any wardrobe-related stress or uncertainty, allowing you to focus on enjoying the photoshoot experience and showcasing your best self.
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.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes! We provide various payment options, including interest-free pre-payment plans and Afterpay. You can choose to pay for your investment in full or spread it out into manageable payments. The total amount is due before your shoot.
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.
