I. Before the session
Creative composition sessions are all about bringing imagination to life, and the planning process is where the magic starts. Ahead of your session, we’ll collaborate to form a unique concept that reflects your vision or we can build from one of my existing creative ideas. Whether your inspiration is drawn from a song, a film, a time of year, a holiday like Halloween, or a more conceptual idea like 'Golden Goddess', we’ll work together to bring it to life in a way that feels bold, original, and completely you. We’ll have a consultation to go over all the details including the concept, makeup, hair, wardrobe, and set design. If you have a vision already, you’re welcome to send over ideas, references, or mood boards. If you’re not quite sure what direction you want to go, I’ll share a variety of creative session themes you can choose from or use as a jumping-off point. Together, we’ll shape the look, feel, and storytelling of your session from the ground up. If your package includes (or you’ve added on) a hair and makeup artist, we’ll coordinate those details so everything is ready to go. Most props and set elements will be provided and fully prepared before your arrival, so the experience is as smooth and immersive as possible.
II. During the session
When you arrive, everything will be ready for you. If your session includes professional hair and makeup, you'll start there! You can relax, settle in, and let the transformation begin. Once you're styled and ready to go, we’ll step into the set, or head to the location, and begin shooting. The creative direction, props, and setup will already be in place, so you can focus on enjoying the experience. I’ll guide you through poses and expressions that fit the concept, helping you feel confident and aligned with the mood of the shoot. Whether it’s powerful, ethereal, moody, or playful, I will assist you in making your vision come to life. Throughout the session, I’ll take care of lighting adjustments, prop styling, and creative posing so that everything comes together seamlessly. You don’t need to worry about the details, that’s what I’m here for! All you need to do is show up, embrace the moment, and step into the story we’ve crafted together.
III. After the session
Premium sessions:
Once your session has concluded, I will edit and deliver 5-10 sneak peek images within 72 hours of your session. I like to deliver sneak peeks since, many times, having a professional photoshoot done is a big deal! Your final gallery will be delivered within 4-6 weeks of your scheduled session. You will be able to view, download, print, and share your images as you'd like!
Standard sessions:
I will edit and deliver 3-5 sneak peek images within 72 hours of your session. Within 4 to 6 weeks you will receive a proof gallery containing a fully edited, watermarked gallery. From this gallery, you can select 30 images that are included with the price of your package, but will also have the option to purchase extra images, or the full gallery at an additional cost. Once you have selected the images you'd like, and paid for any additional images you may want, I will send you a final gallery without a watermark where you will be able to view download, print, and share your images as you'd like!
FAQ

Will you help with posing?
Yes, I do help with posing for all of my sessions! Several of my clients say they feel awkward in front of the camera, and some have never done a photoshoot in the past. This isn't a problem! I will help guide you through every pose by giving you prompts and demonstrating the pose myself.
What is the difference between a Portrait session & a Creative Concept session?
Portrait sessions are classic and straightforward, focusing on capturing you in a clean, timeless way. They typically require minimal props or setup and are great for things like birthdays, graduations, and personal milestones.
Creative Concept sessions, on the other hand, are built around a specific theme or artistic vision. These sessions involve more planning and may include custom props, sets, wardrobe styling, and detailed concepts to bring a unique idea to life. They're perfect for clients looking for something bold, stylized, or storytelling-driven.
When will I receive my images?
I will edit and deliver 10-15 sneak peek images within 72 hours of your session. I like to deliver sneak peeks since, many times, having a professional photoshoot done is a big deal! Your final gallery will be delivered within 6-8 weeks of your scheduled session.
Do you have any ideas for my creative concept if I don't know what to do?
Absolutely! I always have several ideas in my mind that you're more than welcome to choose from. We can also chat a bit about who you are and what things you love, and I can get some ideas that I think would fit you and your vibe!
