You are not going at this alone.

This experience is 100% a collaboration.

I love to be coddled when I am being vulnerable; so that is why I coddle my clients as well (if they need to be, which 90% of them do).

I completely understand how overwhelming it can be when it comes to envisioning your own photography session.

That's why as an artist, I believe this is a part of my job. Plus, I LOVE this part of the process. My goal is to make this experience as smooth and enjoyable as possible with little to worry about when it comes to the details.

At your style and concept consultation, we'll go over your vision board ( I guide you on how to build this) created using Pinterest, and together we carefully observe the patterns and themes that visually emerge.

It's amazing how these seemingly unrelated images can reveal so much about your personality and preferences. By delving into your inspirations and desires, we'll craft a photography session that truly reflects the most authentic version of yourself.

You will walk away from this consultation with 4-6 outfit suggestions and places to source them. Most of the time, you have a good portion of these items in your own closet AND oftentimes I have items that work in the studio closet too!

For me, every outfit has a pose and an emotional expression to match. Being able to see this is one of my superpowers as a photographer.

Each outfit tell a piece of the story as to who you are at your core.

From outfit combinations that match your unique style to guiding you through flattering poses and evoking emotions that match, I'll be there every step of the way.

This isn't just a standard photoshoot; it's an elevated experience designed to uplift and allow space for empowerment.

My ultimate goal is to capture the genuine and authentic you, not just your external appearance.

With this experience, you're not just getting a photographer, but also a caring collaborator who is dedicated to making your vision come to life.

What part of a photoshoot makes you the most nervous?
