What is a "magazine-style photo shoot"?

When people ask me what I do, I tell them how I create magazine-style photo shoots for everyday people. What exactly is a "magazine-style" photo shoot?

From the moment you book, I start helping you prepare for the most incredible photo shoot of your life. 

Before your Shoot
Hands-down, the most common initial concern is, "What am I going to WEAR?!" I've got you covered (no pun intended).

First, we'll meet via Facetime to go through your current clothes and see what we'll want to use. We'll also go over some inspirational photos and examples of things that you may want to consider borrowing, renting, or buying before the shoot. Additionally, I have acquired a collection of dresses and outfits that I keep at the studio that we can use. I've got everything from sleek and simple, to dreamy princess. 

Along with your clothing, from skincare to accessories, I provide you with valuable instructions to make sure you feel 100% prepared to look and feel your best the day of your photo shoot. 

The Day of Your Shoot
Prepare to feel pampered! My team styles your hair, provides airbrush makeup (grooming for the guys), and creates a memorable day that celebrates YOU! Sessions take place in our studio, on location somewhere, or both. You don't need to worry about preparing poses or anything, the entire experience is fully-guided. In fact, posing all body types is my speciality.

I use fashion-inspired lighting, posing, and styling that creates magazine-worthy images of you. I even have a collection of custom hand-painted canvas backdrops, created by the same artist who paints backdrops for photography legends like Annie Leibovitz for Vanity Fair. 

After Your Shoot
1-2 weeks after your shoot, we'll invite you back to the studio for your Portrait Reveal. This is where we showcase your retouched images for you to make your selection.

I LOVE PORTRAIT REVEALS. Oftentimes when clients see their images for the first time, it can be emotional, empowering, and truly life-changing.

​I want you to help you to fall in love with yourself, and show you sides of yourself that you may have lost touch with, forgotten about, or maybe have never met before. Watch this video for a behind-the-scenes peek into what your own magazine-style photo shoot could be like!
