03. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?

Once you book, you’ll receive a complimentary consultation with Laura during which we’ll begin to plan your wardrobe. We’ll go through what to wear, what will help you look stunning on camera, even where to shop for those must have pieces. In addition to what you’ll bring, we have a collection of gowns, bodysuits and accessories specially curated and everything is available to you during your session.



04. HOW DOES THE PRICING WORK?

05. WILL YOU PHOTOSHOP OR RETOUCH MY IMAGES?

Absolutely! Each of your beautiful portraits will be given our signature edits and retouching. This high end retouching is a luxury art form. We retouch gently to preserve a natural look while enhancing your beauty in remarkable ways. Rest assured, we know the angles, the lighting, the lenses, and the poses to best showcase your natural beauty.  You come and relax. It’s our job to do the rest. 

06. WHAT IF I ONLY WANT DIGITALS?

I believe we are doing you a disservice, to leave you with a half-finished product.   When we sell you digitals only, we have not treated you to a full-service, luxury experience.  And that is a shame.

Through our bespoke portrait experience, you are purchasing a luxurious, custom shoot day, where you are pampered by several creatives, in addition to your final portraits. We will spend significant time with you - from planning, to shooting to retouching your session. With this in mind, we extend that high touch, luxury experience to the fine art products we offer.  Your time with us is an investment that needs to result in tactile, physical products - not just a few digital images that are posted to social media once or twice and are left to languish in the cloud - never to see the light of day again.

Each image you purchase as framed wall art, a custom gallery or a beautifully bound heirloom album comes with the corresponding digital file. 

We think once you have seen and touched the beautiful products we have to offer, you won't be able to go back to just the digitals.


07. WHAT KIND OF PRODUCTS DOES THE STUDIO OFFER?

After your session, we’ll present approximately 45 images to you in a private reveal  appointment.   There, you’ll have the opportunity to choose your favorite shots and select which portraits will be purchased & further retouched so they are print ready. Ways to treasure your images include products such as our gorgeous coffee-table size heirloom albums and custom wall art available as framed prints and canvases.  When you inquire with us, you receive our complete service, product and pricing guide.
