tell your story:
It's a moment just for you- a moment you'll hold onto forever. Our Signature Portrait 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 poses during 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! In the end, your portraits aren't just beautiful photographs, they're beautiful memories, too.

I couldn't have asked for a more supportive and professional photographer!

NOTE FROM JEN: (this is a hidden canvas)
If you have a large amount of content for each of your services and are having trouble with it stacking and being sticky, simply click each service canvas, then set the "sticky" settings to "none" instead of top on scroll. You may add or delete as many services as you need to — just make sure you change the "stacking order" to be one higher each time so they layer!

PORTRAIT CLIENT
“There it was: The Light Within. Frame after frame after frame.”
As a woman who is more than a little shy about her looks, I was nervous but Karissa put me at ease with both genuine warmth & professionalism. She was creative & reassuring. In the end, the experience changed me. I actually see myself differently now. I saw beauty that day... and it was my own. It had been there all along; I just needed someone to show me. Karissa did that.
