Life’s transitions bring new clarity, revealing layers of confidence and insight. Whether you’re rediscovering your passions, embracing a new chapter, or reconnecting with yourself, this session is designed to reflect your journey. Every portrait will illuminate your power, grace, and the radiant essence of who you are right now—strong, vibrant, and unmistakably you.

The Process
1. Research and strategy
To get started, you will book a free introductory planning call or coffee meetup. Our first task is to determine the limitations we are working with, establish a budget, shoot date, location and lighting and concept possibilities. With this in mind we can research some concepts for the day of the shoot. We can decide if we need to obtain any props or plan for styling. Do we want a makeup artist, a manicure, a new outfit? Is there a shot list, overall personal goal or brand guidelines? Now that we have a plan I will send an invoice to be paid before the shoot.
2. The day of the shoot
With regard to our plan and limitations we arrive at the location and get organized. For a Natural Profile shoot I recommend you show up in the one outfit and makeup complete so the hour can be used for the shoot. Be 15 min early. Get a good night’s sleep and be well hydrated and fed. If we are in the studio there will be an area for applying makeup and outfit changes. We will strategize what to shoot first, 2nd, 3rd in respect to the concepts, backgrounds and lighting setup and time available. We will communicate throughout the shoot and make smaller choices on the fly and have a whole lot of fun.
3. Retouching and post-processing
Within one to two days after the shoot I will send you a link to an online gallery of edited images. The shots will have basic edits and color adjustments. You will then mark your favorites with a little heart and make any comments you may have in the gallery. I will then take one to two days to finish retouching your final selections. I will submit a new gallery for you to download the final images from. If you would like to order any prints, canvases, photo albums or printable products we will do this last.
