Nerd Warning...

At the turn of the 20th century, it was a big deal to have your portrait taken, no matter who you were. 

Portraits are more than just images or digital files on a computer.

They are history, memory, transformation, moments, celebration and a journey recorded for generations to come. 

And on a personal level,
My mother was always the one behind the camera but rarely in front. 

After she passed I longed to have portraits of her.
I yearned to be more connected. 

It’s more than just an image.

Not sure what to wear?

We have a wardrobe rack just for you...

FAQ'S

Is this portrait experience for you?

I DON'T LIKE HOW I LOOK IN PHOTOS. I'M STIFF AND SMILE AWKWARDLY
We're all a little awkward but I believe, everyone has a beautiful feature. Most times we are our harshest critics. My job is to guide you, pose you, make you comfortable and bring out the best enhanced version of you.


WHAT IF I REALLY WANT TO WAIT TILL I LOSE 10 MORE LBS?
Have you ever looked at picture of someone you love and said, they should’ve lost 10lbs? Those pesky pounds will not stop you from living your life today! It is our job to pose you and make you as flattering as possible. 


I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR
We love this stuff. We help you with a style session where we plan your looks well ahead of your session and if you need, we have made in-home wardrobe consultation visits. We also have a wardrobe rack that is available for our VIP Portrait experience clients. And in some special cases we special order wardrobe looks.


IS MAKEUP INCLUDED? IS IT A MUST?
A professional makeup artist session is included for our VIP Portrait Experience sessions. If you're not used to wearing makeup, no worries, we work with and recommend Makeup Artists that work with a variety of comfort levels, skin tones, and even skin textures. 


DO YOU HAVE SESSIONS ON THE WEEKENDS?
We generally shoot M-F during regular business hours. Once a quarter we open a Saturday session.


DO YOU USE PROPS LIKE FOR HOLIDAYS?
As much as I love the holidays, you will not see the Easter bunny, Christmas trees or beach balls unless it is for a business branding photo session. We're invested in highlighting YOU! 


DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH EVENTS?
We do not. Our branding sessions at times include capturing an event for a very specific purpose.


IS THIS ONLY FOR WOMEN?
If you’re a person, it’s for you. I’m genuinely interested in photographing you and learning about your story, whoever you may be and wherever you are in your journey.
You don’t have to show up perfect. Just show up.
I’ll handle the rest.





WHY ON EARTH DO I NEED A PORTRAIT OF MYSELF?
This is not just about you at this moment but also your children, your loved ones, and the following generations searching for photographs of you. This is about honoring who you are now. 



WHAT IF I I FEEL VERY VAIN PRINTING PICTURES OF ME?
No, you’re not vain. This portrait experience is about creating timeless portraits that are your history, your memories, your transformations, your journey, your celebration of this wild life experience. 


WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH ALL THESE PHOTOS? 
Print them, frame them and put those bad boys on the wall! It's time to stop keeping photos only on your phone or on a digital cloud somewhere. Our focus is in providing beautiful framed wall art enlargements and legacy prints of your custom portrait artwork printed on high quality, archival paper that will last for generations.


WHAT IF THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE?
How many cell phones have you purchased in the last 5 or 10 years? 
Your images actually appreciate in sentimental value. It’s often the first thing we search for when a loved one passes.
We’ve been conditioned to think that one’s wedding day is the only time to invest in photographs of yourself. Any other time we look to big box stores and cheap prints.
Most clients budget between $2k-$5k, some spend less and some spend more. 
Payment plans available. 


WHAT ABOUT OTHER PHOTOGRAPHERS WHO COST LESS AND GIVE ME A MILLION PHOTOS?
Someone told me, "the Specialist is always more expensive than the General Practitioner". Or here's another analogy, it's like going to a car lot. No matter what car you buy, it should get you from point A to point B. What you want your experience in the car to be like, what you want the ride to be like, the interior to be like, the paint job, how long it lasts, the quality of the parts is where the different car brands start separating and distinguishing themselves.
