What to Expect

A portrait experience designed with care, creativity, and purpose.

STEP 01

Connect

We begin with a conversation—by phone or Zoom— exploring your vision, story, and what you want to express. We’ll align on vision, styling, and intention.

Create

Your portrait experience takes place in a relaxed, guided environment in the studio. The session is guided yet intuitive, with ample room for experimentation and emotional expression. This is where the art begins.

STEP 02

STEP 03

Reveal

Two weeks after your portrait session, we meet for your private reveal. You’ll view your portraits and I’ll help you select the artwork that best reflects your story.

Preserve

Your selected images are transformed into museum-grade prints, albums, or a legacy folio box—ready to display, gift, or archive.

STEP 04

“I felt overwhelmed with joy. I’ve never been part of a photoshoot before.”
MICHAEL PAULINO.
“I was able to see myself in that light that I always wanted to see myself.”
KELLI FORDE.
