Do you remember the last time you were Photographed?
As a professional photographer in Orange County it is my passion to help you exist in photographs.
I love photographing women including Mothers, Daughters, Sisters, Best Friends, or anyone close to you.
I love capturing Men’s strength and honor.
I love creating branded images for your business that shows how confident and capable you are.
I love to capture the celebrations and milestones in your life, Graduation, Anniversary, Life achievements, Engagements or anything that makes you celebrate life.
My mission is to help you exist in portraits and create timeless images that your family can cherish for generations to come.
What is included in your portrait Session?
First we begin with an in-person or phone consultation to get to know each other, and to talk about the type of portrait session you want, and how to prepare. I will go over clothing, hair and makeup choices with you. We will also discuss what type of portraits you will want to purchase so we can make sure to capture images to fulfill your needs.
On the day of your session we will start by choosing from the clothing you bring with you and what clothing you would like me to handcraft for you that day from our many fabrics, dresses and skirts. You will then sit down to have your hair and makeup done to your taste. This generally takes about an hour. While you are getting pampered I will be setting up the appropriate backgrounds for the wardrobe and style we have chosen.
Your portrait session will take about 2 hours depending on how many outfit and background changes we decide to make. Don’t worry about being photogenic or having to pose. It is my job to coach you in your poses to show you at your best. Some of them may seem awkward but believe me, it looks great in camera. My posing is designed to flatter your body and make you feel beautiful and confident.
At your reveal session 1-2 weeks following your studio session you will get to view your finished portraits. You will have an opportunity to choose your favorite images and build a package that suits you. We will have a selection printed and ready that day on our reveal wall to take home and cherish. I hope you have planned a nice evening out with a friend or loved one because you are going to look gorgeous and feel like celebrating how beautiful you are.
WHAT DO I NEED TO GET READY FOR MY PORTRAIT SESSION?
A week or two before your portrait session treat yourself, visit your favorite salon for a little hair style freshen up. I recommend that you don’t try out or experiment with a drastic new style before your portrait session. Just have enough done to make yourself look and feel your best. Get a mani/pedi a day or two before so your polish will be fresh and/or your nails neat and trimmed.
We discuss this during your consultation.
WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY PORTRAIT SESSION?
This will depend on the style of portrait session you want and how you will be using and displaying your portraits. We will discuss what to wear during your consultation and which outfits and accesories you’ll want to bring to your portrait session. We also have some dresses and accessories that you are welcome to wear for your session. There are a lot of fabrics at the studio that we use to make temporary, fabulous one of a kind creations for you to wear.

FAQ
My stylist is not always available on weekends so prefer to schedule portrait sessions during the week. We are happy to accommodate you and provide the hair and makeup services to you personally, or you may make arrangements with your stylist to style your hair that morning and visit your local cosmetic store for a makeup application. We do prefer to do the makeup in house so that it photographs correctly.
Absolutely! You may schedule a double portrait session and enjoy this amazing experience with your sister, mother, daughter or your best friend. Just let me know during your consultation so we can schedule the stylist to accommodate. Husbands and partners are always welcome as part of your session.
I am happy to schedule family portrait sessions at the studio, park or beach too.
Retouching and enhancement are always included with the purchase of an image. I goal is to capture the best possible portrait in-camera during your portrait session with flattering posing and beautiful light. With my many years of experience and training I am able to create excellent images that need minimal adjustments.
I retouch skin tone, blemishes, stray hairs, imperfections in fabric and lightly enhance to bring out your natural beauty. Body contouring, and structural facial corrections are included at your request for no additional fee.
If there is anything specific you would like me to transform or remove please let me know during your consultation.
