FAQs
How much can I expect to spend on a PORTRAIT photoshoot with you?
Our session fee is $400, this includes hair and makeup, style consultation, and the shoot. Our Image Collections start at $1500 and go up from there depending on what you order. Most clients will typically spend between $2500-$5000. Some spend more, some less.
Our pricing is easy and simple to understand. At the pre-shoot consultation, we discuss all the options available in a clear and concise way, and answer all your pricing questions so you will always know what to expect long before you place an order.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we do! Together we can customize a payment plan that is right for you on your time. You will receive your photographs after the balance has been paid in full.
Can I do my own hair and makeup or bring my own makeup artist?
The hair and makeup is included in every package, so foregoing this service does not lower the cost of your photoshoot. Also, it’s an important part of the whole experience. The makeup artist stays throughout the shoot to change things up, or adjust anything that went out of place while on set, things you can’t see when you’re the model. Our hair and makeup artist is trained to do makeup for Photography and we have worked closely with her and she knows exactly what we want and how to do it. This is how we make sure we get the results we are looking for.
The People on your website all look like models. i’m just a regular person, can i still do this?
Although there are models on my website, the people on my Portrait Gallery are not professional models. They are people like you and me. The reason they look like models is because we have guided them and showed them how to act, and how to feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. We also understand lighting, posing, and composition, and know what looks best at the right angles. Top that with professional hair, makeup, and styling, and you have a winner!!
What if I‘m New to modeling and not sure how to pose or what to do on set?
Not to worry! We work a lot with new models, and I am a model coach! I will guide you and help you the entire shoot. I will show you step by step what to do and help build your knowledge and confidence. Also, you can ask us about our one-on-one model coaching workshop if you want to take it to the next level!
Can I have my daughter, son or spouse, in my photos too?
Yes! We love to photograph relationships between people. Mother and daughters, children together, couples, etc. There are many options on how you can have others in the photos as well. We can discuss these details at the consultation.
can I bring a friend to my portfolio shoot?
If a friend makes you feel more comfortable, then sure. However, keep in mind that you will be acting on set. Modelling is really not just about looking pretty, it’s about how you act in front of the camera, the expressions you give, and putting some serious personality into the shoot. So if having a friend there will make you feel awkward and shy about putting yourself out there, then maybe give that some consideration.
Can I share or post my images?
Yes, Absolutely! And Please feel free to credit the team that worked on your shoot. And we will do the same for you!
However, please do not modify the images in any way, including IG/Snapchat filters or Photoshop. The Copyright still belongs to the photographer.
How much can I expect to spend on a BRANDING photoshoot with you?
Our session fee is $400, this includes hair and makeup, style consultation, and the shoot. Our Image Collections start at $1500 and go up from there depending on what you order.

Email us to get detailed pricing.
I’m not sure how I want to be photographed and what I should wear?
Not to worry! We go over all that on our first meeting! We discuss the styles that you like and dislike, we go through photo examples, and together we come up with a look that works for you and or your Brand! We also help you go through your current clothing options, along with the use of our own wardrobe at the studio.
Do we have to shoot in the studio, or can we pick a different location?
We can certainly shoot somewhere else if the location is preferable and can add to the images! Some things we would have to consider are lighting conditions, accessibility, weather, permissions, etc… We love variety and we are all for getting creative somewhere else! Indoors or outdoors! We would go over these details at the consultation.
How do I prepare for a Model Portfolio shoot and what do I bring?
Before the shoot I will send you a PDF with information on how to prepare, what clothing to bring, etc. We cover all the details! But If you still have questions, just ask me!!
Can I do something a little sexier?
Ooh lala, but of course! The level of sexiness you want in your photographs is up to you! We don’t put a limit on the amount of (or lack of) clothing… we just keep it super tasteful and artistic.
What if I don’t want wall art and just want the digitals?
That’s totally fine, we have packages for that too! Or a combination of both. We just really love to see the BIG images on the wall, this is how they have the most impact and reach their full potential. Plus, printed images last forever if kept right, whereas digital images are never guaranteed.
Do you share or post my images?
Yes, but only with your permission. If your images are a little risqué or if you just want to remain private for other reasons, I will certainly honour that wish. I would never want to make you uncomfortable.
