~How it works~

Book a free consultation so we may discuss the nature of your portrait/ headshot needs.

I have an abundance of creative concepts I can suggest. It’s important to me that my approach and editing style are aligned with your aesthetic & needs. This is how we arrive at phenomenal results. Once a mutual vision has emerged, we can book a date!

Wardrobe and what to bring?!

I suggest a minimum of three diverse wardrobe looks. You are welcome to browse through my eclectic wardrobe for an added accessory, scarf, and or vintage coat. Together we will create the perfect pairing of garment & back drop cast before diverse lighting set ups.

General Information

Studio sessions start at 1.5 hours with multiple back drop & lighting options available. Location sessions start at 2.5 hour sessions with an additional travel fee for locations over 30 minutes from Ventura.

It is recommended to book an extended session of 2.5+ hours if you are interested in more artistic images, as seen in my galleries, that may take additional time to set up and execute, or should you have more than 5 (in-studio) wardrobe & backdrop changes in mind. Props are welcome!!

Within a week, you will receive a contact sheet of the entire session via dropbox, and you may select your favorite images for retouching & editing. Each shoot comes with 5 edited images.

Additional edited images carry a small fee. Final edits are delivered via dropbox within one to two weeks, depending on the total number of edits requested. Editing style is “as seen” in my galleries. It is appreciated for any specific filters you would care to have implemented be discussed before the editing process begins. Packages are available for shoots requesting a high number of edits.
