The PHOTO SHOOT EXPERIENCE
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1 | BEFORE BOOKING YOUR PHOTO SHOOT
Prior to scheduling a portrait photo shoot, I make it a point to schedule a phone consultation. This allows me to get to know you better, understand the type of photos you desire, and discuss details such as vision and pricing.
STEP 2 | PLANNING AND WARDROBE FITTING
Before you photo shoot you will come to the studio for a concept consultation and wardrobe fitting. We will get to know each other, gather ideas and create a concept for your photo shoot. My goal is it to create a dream session for you! Additionally we will go over wardrobe and how how to prepare for you session.
STEP 3 | YOUR DREAM PHOTO SHOOT
Your custom photos hoot includes professional hair and makeup. Feel like a celebrity – enjoy 1.5 -2h hours of pampering, champagne, and snacks. You don’t need to be a professional model to experience the magazine styled photoshoot. I will coach you through a number of poses and facial expressions. The shoot will take about 2 hours and we will shoot 4-8 different looks.
Same-Day Ordering Appointment
After your session, we will go through a selection of your beautiful images, and you will select the images and products you love. Our clients feel really empowered to see their images un-retouched – it also gives us the opportunity to talk about how much you would like your images to be retouched.
STEP 4 | PRODUCTS AND DELIVERY
Two weeks after your photo shoot and ordering appointment you will receive your beautiful retouched digital files. After approval I will order your beautiful products. Most of my products are handcrafted in Italy or Australia and will take 4-5 weeks to arrive.
WALL ART, ALBUMS, FOLIO BOXES ...
WE OFFER A BEAUTIFUL SELECTION OF HANDCRAFTED PRODUCTS FROM ITALY, AUSTRALIA AND THE U.S.
