Communication is KEY!! I want to be able to provide you with lasting memories that you’ve envisioned. It’s working together to make this possible. As many details as possible will help me out and will cut down a TON of my questions.
If you don’t know where to start that’s okay too :)
STYLING:
By booking with me I can GUARANTEE a quality look!
I went to Cosmetology School so most hair and makeup ideas are doable for me!
IF you have a SPECIFIC look you’re trying to achieve please let me know asap. I WANT to capture what YOU envision!
If special props, wardrobe, makeup etc is needed will need those expenses paid or will need to discuss.
I have a Client Closet I can offer. There is a wide range of options available to wear. Adding more varying sizes- most clothes have been donated by myself.
If you see an example out of my portfolio as a model or photographer , we can recreate it!
I can ALWAYS provide a MOOD board to help you feel prepared and confident in your Photoshoot! Pose ideas and Photoshoot inspiration will be included.
Indoor Photoshoots Will be done at my home studio unless stated otherwise. Fully finished basement is my dedicated workspace. I have a variety of backdrops available for use. You will have your own bathroom for privacy and changing. Back room is in the process of being Turned into a Boudoir room.
IF another indoor location is requested like a studio, cost will need to be covered unless stated otherwise.
