Before the session we will have a discovery call to learn more about you, your needs, and vision. Are you looking for something traditional, more dramatic, or more commercial? The more we plan ahead of time, the smoother the shoot will go. Having a specific idea of what you need before you come in will help us get the most out of our time together.

NEXT STEPS

01

During the session, we will choose the outfit and background combos that work best. We will guide and coach you with different poses and expressions. Different lighting setups may also be used. Shooting tethered to a computer allows us to review our shots in real time and make adjustment, as needed.

02

After the session you can immediately select your favorite image(s) to be retouched. We also offer online proofing galleries as well for this purpose. Ideally, you should be ready to choose your image(s) the day of your session.

03

OUR PROCESS

We don't set any time limit for your photography studio session as most can be completed in less than hour. Group sessions can last several hours, especially if on location. Basically, we can work (and play) as long as you’d like to get the best shots!

If you think we are a good fit and would like more information, please take the NEXT STEPS: Simply schedule a call below or submit our contact form so we can discuss your needs and vision for a successful shoot. Currently, we don’t offer booking online since nothing happens without us having a dialog first. So, let’s talk!

Based on the outcome of our discovery call, you will receive a custom quote from us for your preferred session date. To confirm your booking, accept the quote and sign the session agreement. You will then be scheduled on our calendar with your session booked!
