1. BOOK A DATE

First we need to pick a date and time. You will want to book a session AT LEAST 6-8 weeks before you want the final products in hand. The studio is open Monday - Friday but generally photo shoots take place on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. (I offer one Saturday session per month for an additional fee.) We can start the session anywhere between 10am - 12/noon. You will want to block off 4 hours total. I am happy to offer pre-shoot consultations over the phone, via email or in-person. I understand you may be nervous so this is an opportunity to calm any fears you may have!

2. SESSION FEE

You have two options for your Session Fee.

• The first includes the photo shoot plus professional makeup (with eyelashes) for $400.
• The second includes everything in the first package but also hair styling for $500.

I ask for $300 upfront at the time of booking which serves as a retainer to reserve the date and the remaining balance is due on the day of your photo shoot. (Either $100 or $200 depending on which session fee package you choose.) More about what the session fee includes can be found here. You will also sign a contract upfront which outlines rescheduling. Once the contract is signed and retainer is paid your session is officially booked!

3. Get Creative

Now that your date is officially booked, it’s time to get creative! Shopping for outfits & can’t decide what to choose? Email me pics, I love helping! I will send out a Prep Guide via email before your shoot to help you get ready. In the end I want you to feel like you, stay true to your style. We will have time to shoot 3 outfits/looks. *More looks can be added for an additional fee.

4. YOUR PHOTO SHOOT

Finally, it’s the day of the big shoot! I work with a remarkable hair & make-up artist that is just as passionate as I am about making you feel confident and sexy during your shoot. While we are glamming you up I will provide complimentary drinks we chat away. This is the time where we seriously get to know each other so that you are even more comfortable during the shoot. We will go through your clothing options and put together complete looks, for most sessions 3 ensembles. I will walk you through all of the posing, from your head to your toes. You don't need to know anything about posing, that's my job! Generally we will be shooting you for about 1.5 hours.

5. THE REVEAL MEETING

One to two weeks  after your photo shoot I will have your images ready and we will meet in-person for the big reveal and talk about what products are best for you. Everything I offer is ready to hang or display, whether it’s an album, canvas or collection box. Payment is due upon ordering.To view more details on the products I offer click here.

We can also schedule the reveal meeting to happen via ZOOM if you aren't able to make it back to the studio again.

6. THE END

After the Reveal Meeting I will get to work on editing your photos. Once your products are ordered I will update you via email. Products will be mailed directly to you or you may pick them up in-person at the studio. The last item on the to-do list is to sign a Privacy Contract and fill out a questionnaire. The Privacy Contract lets me know if you are willing to allow me share any of your images. The questionnaire is a place for you to let me know about your overall experience. 

Now go enjoy your photos for the next 50+ years! Brag to your girlfriends about how amazing you felt and looked. Then one day when you are not only a mom but a grandma break out your photos and proudly show your granddaughters how truly smokin’ hot grandma was/is! ;)
