EASY PROCESS
Photoshoot Design Consultation
Whether in-studio or via Zoom, we're here to collaborate with you on designing your photoshoot, discussing your preferred color palette, style, outfits, props, and everything you need for tailoring your session.
You can view our collection in the online gallery or try the dresses on during your in-person studio appointment before your photoshoot. Various sizes are available.
Viewing & Ordering Session
One week following your session, we'll schedule a Zoom call or an in-person studio appointment to reveal your gallery. This is your time to choose and purchase the images for printing while we design your customized collection of beautiful wall art.
In two months, you'll receive your desired collection of prints and albums, and we'll record a reveal video either in the studio or in your home to capture the excitement of seeing your cherished memories come to life.
Fully-guided photoshoot
During the session, we'll start by preparing you with makeup and hairstyling, granting access to our wardrobe, and providing assistance with posing to ensure every detail looks perfect throughout your photoshoot.
You can share examples of the makeup and hairstyle you dream about before your photoshoot, or you can entrust our artist to provide the best suggestions while we prepare you for your session in the studio.
