Step 1: Complimentary Consultation

Let’s start with a free consultation to discuss your portrait or headshot needs. I have a wealth of creative concepts to suggest, and it’s essential that my approach and editing style align with your aesthetic and vision. Together, we’ll craft a mutual vision for your shoot and then book a date!

Step 2 : Wardrobe and What to Bring

I recommend bringing a minimum of three diverse wardrobe options. Additionally, you’re welcome to explore my eclectic wardrobe collection, which includes unique accessories, scarves, and vintage coats. Together, we’ll create the perfect pairing of garments and backdrops, enhanced by varied lighting setups to bring your vision to life.

  • Studio Sessions: Start at 1.5 hours and include multiple backdrops and lighting setups.

  • Location Sessions: Start at 2.5 hours. Locations more than 30 minutes from Ventura will include an additional travel fee.

I recommend booking an extended session of 3 hours if you’re interested in multiple artistic styled images, as seen in my galleries, or if you plan on having more than five wardrobe| backdrop changes.

Props are always welcome!

Post-Session and Editing

  • Within one week, you’ll receive a contact sheet via Dropbox with all images from the session.

  • Select your favorite images for retouching and editing. Each session includes five professionally edited images.

  • Additional edits are available for a small fee.

Final edits are delivered via Dropbox within one to two weeks, depending on the number of edits requested. My editing style is consistent with what you see in my galleries. If you have specific preferences or filters in mind, please discuss them with me before editing begins.

Packages are available for sessions requiring a high volume of edits—let’s create something extraordinary!
