Ready to see yourself in a new light?

It's quite likely that you have hundreds of pictures of yourself and your family and you're thinking you really don't need more. But a professional photo shoot can take your image to the next level.

  • A creative portrait session can be a time to explore the new you. We are always evolving and perhaps it's time to celebrate your next chapter.

  • A branding portrait session can illustrate to your ideal customers what it would be like to work with you, showing more of your personality and values.

  • Getting an updated head shot is so important for your social media presence but it can also be helpful in many other ways depending on your profession and marketing strategy.

  • Our family and pets are incredibly important to us and those special moments deserve more than snap shots and selfies.

Photo shoots don't have to be intimidating. My approach is to work with you to determine what suits your needs and budget.

Life is always changing and evolving and sometimes we want to celebrate those changes and show the world the new person we have become. Or, if has simply been a while since you had a really good photo taken of you, now is the time to take action.

A professional photo shoot can be a lot of fun and a great confidence booster.

And, if you are in your 50s like me, we face an additional battle with how our faces and bodies have changed and we may not like the result. But don’t worry, I have faced that challenge head on and I can help you look your best for this next stage of life.

My approach is to guide you through the process and show you some tips on how to show your best side.

Your story is evolving and we can work together to start your next chapter.

Creative Portraits

Brand Portraits

Head shots are important but sometimes we need more than one shot for our marketing materials.

I can work with you to determine what types of images you need for your brochures and website layouts. In addition, we can explore showing you in action at work or interacting with clients.

It's your photo shoot and I love helping people develop their vision.

My wish for you is that you come away empowered to take on whatever this new stage of your life has to offer with confidence and a smile.

The Process

Planning

After the initial consultation, we plan out the details of your personal photo shoot. We can work with a Pinterest mood board if you prefer to get a feel for what you want to accomplish.

Photo Shoot

Once we have sorted out the look, feel and location, we book a date and the fun begins. A shoot usually lasts about 1 hr.

Review & Choose

After the shoot, we book a time to review the images online. Once you have selected the ones you prefer, the images are finalized and sent to you via Drop Box or a similar program.

 FAQs

  • Please refer to the Pricing Page for more details but keep in mind that each photo session can be customized to your needs.

  • Budget 1 hr for the shoot. Pet portraits will depend on the complexity of the shoot but generally, less than 1 hr. The same applies to family photo shoots.

  • In our preparation meeting we will discuss whether the mood of the shoot is better suited to a studio or outdoor location. There is no difference in the quality of the images in either location as our photo equipment is fully mobile.

  • If you can, it’s best to not have any commitments immediately before or after the shoot. If you are rushed or worried, it will show in the images. Keep the mood of the shoot in mind. For pet portraits, make sure you have walked or exercised your dog.

  • This will depend on the mood you have decided you want to present but essentially, you would want to wear clothes that are more form fitting than loose. You need to be comfortable but clothes that show your shape look better in images. Don’t forget your undergarments as well. Make sure they smooth out any areas you want to de-emphasize.

  • If we have budgeted for a hair and makeup stylist then it’s best not to wear any make up to the shoot. Otherwise, bring your basic makeup and then we can do touch ups on site.

  • The standard Portrait shoot includes 3 processed images. If you would like more images  I have multi image packages at different rates.
