SIGNATURE PORTRAIT SESSION
A MODERN EDITORIAL PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE | COLUMBUS, GA | SERVING ATLANTA
Every modern portrait begins with a story waiting to be seen,
and designed to meet you where you are.
SIGNATURE PORTRAIT SESSION
A MODERN EDITORIAL PORTRAIT SESSION DESIGNED TO MEET YOU WHERE YOU ARE
Signature Sessions begin at $1500. Available as a Personal Portrait, Branding Session, or Intimate Session.
Before we ever pick up a camera, we sit down and talk. About how you want to be seen. About where you are in your life. About what these images are for and what feels honest to you.
I send a thoughtful questionnaire so I can prepare well and come into the session already understanding you. We talk through wardrobe. Mood. The feeling you want when you look at these photographs years from now.
On the day of your session, there is no rush. Most Signature sessions last up to two hours, giving you space to change, to settle in, to breathe. I guide you gently the entire time so you never feel unsure or exposed. We explore different light, different expressions of you.
Afterward, we sit together again and look through your images. I help you choose what feels most like yourself. Your selected portraits are carefully finished and delivered in a private gallery. If you want more, we talk through that carefully.
You are supported from beginning to end. If your focus is professional visibility, explore the Branding Session. If you’re drawn to something more private and expressive, explore the Intimate Session.
If we decide to move forward together, a $450 retainer reserves your date and is applied toward your total investment.
STEP ONE
CONNECTION & VISION
Every Signature session begins with intention.
You start by completing the booking request form below. This is where you share what brought you here, what you’re hoping for, and any questions you may have. I personally review each submission and respond within 24 business hours.
Once everything feels aligned, I’ll send you a private link to reserve your session.
Once your retainer is complete, you’ll receive access to my calendar to schedule your creative design consultation. This is where we meet face to face on Zoom and begin shaping your session in detail.
For some, this conversation is practical and focused.
For others, it becomes a deeper exploration of style, mood, and intention.
STEP TWO
THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
Your session is guided from start to finish.
You don’t need to know how to pose or prepare. I offer clear direction and create space for the session to move naturally.
Some sessions are focused and contained.
Others allow more room to explore, adjust, and go deeper.
The pace is shaped by the experience you choose, but the approach stays the same: guided, human, and present.
Throughout the session, the focus remains on creating images that feel honest, grounded, and true to you.
STEP THREE
VIEWING & SELECTION
After your session, your images are thoughtfully prepared for your guided viewing.
Your reveal is scheduled soon after your session, often the next day or within a few days, so the experience stays fresh and complete.
During our viewing, you’ll see a carefully selected collection from your time in front of the camera and choose the portraits that feel most like you. The images are presented naturally, with subtle adjustments to light and tone, so you can see yourself clearly without distraction.
Once your selections are made, I complete the final refinements before delivery. The intention is never to change you, only to keep the focus where it belongs. On you. Digital collections form the foundation of this experience.
Some clients arrive knowing they want a fully planned portrait experience. Others are looking for something simpler.
For simpler sessions, Portrait Refresh and Portraits in Nature can be reserved directly through their pages.
FAQ
YOU CAN FIND ANSWERS TO MOST QUESTIONS HERE
HOW FAR OUT SHOULD I BOOK MY SHOOT?
I recommend reaching out as early as you can, especially if you’re planning a Signature session or commissioned work. Most clients book 3–6 weeks ahead. Let me know your preferred dates and I’ll do my best.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT TO INVEST?
Your investment depends on the session you choose and how you’d like to keep your images. Each booking begins with a 450 non-refundable retainer, applied toward your total investment. Full pricing is outlined on this page, and we’ll review any additional options during your creative design consultation.
CAN YOU HELP ME WITH WHAT TO WEAR?
Yes. Every session includes simple, supportive wardrobe guidance. We’ll talk about colors, textures, and pieces that reflect how you want to be seen. Whether the look is professional, minimal, expressive, or soft. The goal is to remove stress and help you feel comfortable, grounded, and confident.
CAN MY SESSION TAKE PLACE AT MY LOCATION?
Yes, when it supports the style or story you want to create. Signature Sessions can be photographed in your home or office for an additional location fee, and more expansive sessions can move between studio and other locations as needed. Travel and location details are discussed during your planning call so you’ll know exactly what to expect.
WHEN CAN I BOOK MY SESSION?
Portrait sessions are scheduled by appointment, Monday through Friday. We’ll confirm your session date and time during your planning conversation.
DO YOU OFFER PAYMENT PLANS?
Yes. You’re welcome to pay in full or use a pre-session payment plan. All balances are due before your session date.
DO I NEED PROFESSIONAL HAIR AND MAKEUP?
You’re welcome to do whatever makes you feel most yourself. That can be natural, polished, or somewhere in between. You can do your own styling or hire a professional. We’ll talk about what feels right for you during your planning session.
CAN YOU PHOTOGRAPH MY SESSION OUTDOORS OR IN A RENTED SPACE?
Absolutely. Your session can take place wherever your story feels most true. That might be your home, a meaningful location, a rented studio, or a space in nature. Travel or location fees may apply depending on where we go. Everything will be discussed beforehand.
