The Experience
I am so proud of the experience I offer my clients. I create space for you to feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera - that’s my superpower. You’ll leave feeling like a million bucks, then I’ll deliver images that remind you of that each and every day.

The Consultation
The first step after reviewing the pages in the following pages is to schedule a consultation call. During the call, I will share with you every detail about what you can expect from a photo shoot with me. I’ll ask you about your desires for the shoot, any products you may have in mind, and answer any questions you may have. If you decide to move forward with booking, I will collect your session retainer and determine a date for your shoot. You’ll leave the call knowing exactly what you need to do to prepare for a shoot and how to select the outfits you will bring. This call is one of my favorite steps in the experience - I get to learn more about you so that I can design a shoot perfect and unique to you.

Professional Hair and Makeup Application
Your photoshoot will begin with being pampered with a beauty session by my makeup artist, Sonia. She and I began workingtogether more than 15 years ago and we continue to follow our passion for creating beautiful experiences for women ever since. Sonia was formally trained in Miami, Florida with more than 25 years of experience in the beauty industry.
Sonia will create a look that complements each set you are photographed within. This is the part where you get to sit back, relax and enjoy the experience. You will look and feel beautiful after your shoot, so don't forget to plan a fun night out on the town!

The Ordering Appointment
About two weeks after your photo shoot, you are invited back for your ordering appointment. During this time, you will view and select your favorite images to purchase. Some clients think they are coming in to choose one or two favorites, but I find that much more often clients have a hard time leaving images they love behind, so they end up choosing more than they were thinking!
My clients get to select from individually printed images that come in either a luxury folio box or within a hand-crafted album, plus options. Images begin at $300 and Collections start at $1800. What you purchase is entirely up to you - there is no pressure. My job is to simply take beautiful portraits of you that you love.

A Shoot Designed Specifically For You
When you arrive at the studio we’ll begin by reviewing the unique shoot I’ve designed to match what we discussed in the consultation, with multiple lighting and backdrop setups. Then you’ll get settled in for a flawless makeup application, allowing you time to relax and enjoy being pampered before stepping in front of the camera. Your only job that day is to trust me and feel beautiful (even if a little nervous). I will guide you through each of the poses that will flatter you and create the most beautiful images you’ve seen of yourself. No experience necessary!
In total, you can expect to hang out with me for about three hours - occasionally a little more if we’re having too much fun!

Your Artwork, Delivered and Adored
After your images are selected during the ordering appointment, I’ll get to work finalizing the images and getting them over to my Italian lab to print and create the artwork you select. We’ll discuss what level of retouching you prefer - I start with a basic edit that minimizes lines and wrinkles, brightens the eyes, and enhances the color to make the image really stand out. We’ll chat about any features that you would like for me to pay special attention to.
Then, about 3 weeks later, your folio box, album, or wall art will arrive ready for you to take home and enjoy.
