It's a moment just for you- a moment you'll hold onto forever. Bring your favorite clothes- whether that's jeans and a t-shirt or a black tie gown- and then we'll add a few pieces from the studio's wardrobe- a beautiful sequined gown or a special silk from China. After that, you just have to sit back and relax while we take care of your hair & makeup. Once you're relaxed and photo ready I'll guide you through your own magazine-style photo shoot! Do you need a new professional headshot? Perfect! We'll start there. Do you need a new Facebook profile pic? We can capture that, too. We will wrap up after a couple hours, but make sure you schedule a special night out because you are going to look & feel fabulous!
If you've never been properly photographed- and most people haven't- take this opportunity to invest in photographs you will treasure for a lifetime. These are the images you will want your kids and grandkids to have and look back on whenever they think of you. And more importantly, they are images you will want to have.

It's a moment just for you- a moment you'll hold onto forever. Signature Sessions are designed to capture who you are- at once strong, nurturing, beautiful, and sexy, the list goes on... Bring your favorite clothes- whether that's jeans and a t-shirt or a black tie gown- and then we'll add a few pieces from the studio's wardrobe- a sparkling sequined gown or a beautiful charmeuse silk. After that, my stylist will pamper you by doing your hair & makeup for your photo shoot! Once you're photo ready, I'll guide you through your own magazine-style photo shoot. We will wrap up after a couple hours, but make sure you schedule a special night out because you are going to look & feel fabulous!
If you've never been properly photographed- and most people haven't- take this opportunity to capture photographs you will treasure for a lifetime. These are the images you will cherish, but they are the same photographs your kids and grandkids will cherish years from now.
So, then, the question is: how would you like to be captured?
Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself.
- Coco Chanel
Every woman should have beautiful photographs of herself- to see how others see her, to remember what it feels like to be beautiful, and to give her loved ones as keepsakes that will live on forever. Fine art portraits live on for generations and are treasures to have.
The women who come to my studio are real women. We first talk about your goals for the photographs, then decide on a few different "looks" to capture (casual? artistic? black tie? work suit?). The day of your session, you arrive for an hour of pampering while we do your hair & makeup to make sure you are "photo ready." During the photo shoot I guide and direct you, so you don't have to worry about what to do. In short, we have a lot of fun and take photographs as we go.
Your session fee of $250 includes a professional hair & makeup artist to ensure you look your absolute best, access to the studio's wardrobe, a full photo shoot during which I guide & direct you, and an opportunity to come back to the studio to see the most beautiful photographs you've ever seen of yourself! You decide which photos you would like to order during your reveal session- individual photos are $150 and collections begin at $850.

Behind-the-Scenes
Details
The cost of your photographs breaks down into two parts: the session fee and then the photographs you decide to order. The session fee is $400 and includes your pre-shoot consultation, complimentary hair & makeup styling the day of your session (in-studio only), access to the studio's wardrobe and the session itself.
Following the session you select the images you would like to order and they are carefully hand-edited to your preferences. There are no minimum orders and no sales pressure-what you order is entirely up to you. As I see it, my job is to take the best photographs you've ever seen of yourself, so the photos sell themselves! Individual photographs are $250 and packages are available if you would like to order several.
If you'd like to break the cost down even further, note that we offer gift cards, registries, and payment plans.
