You are worthy of being photographed.
So many women tell me they have never been photographed outside of family portraits. They tell me that they don't like to be photographed because they don't like how they look.
They say they feel too much of something (old, heavy, awkward, unpretty) or that they've never had a photograph of themselves that they like.
I'm here to tell you, with visual aids, that you are beautiful, worthy, and deserving of being photographed.
Let me show you how your loved ones see you.
You are worthy of being photographed.
what it includes
Consultation
A pre-shoot consultation to discuss how you want to be photographed, outfits, backdrops, etc.
I offer a full studio wardrobe of couture gowns for you to choose from, and you are also welcome to source your own outfits.
Hair & Make-up
Your session includes professional hair and makeup on the day of your photoshoot- you will feel and look amazing!
Photoshoot
A fully guided photo session. I will pose you from your expression down to your fingertips & toes.
You also have the opportunity to invite loved ones (spouse, children, parents, etc.) to join at the end of your session for portraits together. You’re going to look AMAZING, so why not??
Reveal Session
A reveal & ordering session to view all images, choose the complimentary print, and have the opportunity to purchase more.
Most participants invest between $2000 and $5000 in their final artwork, depending on how they choose to preserve their images.
Exhibition Gala
At the end of the campaign, we'll hold an exhibition at a local venue. You’ll get to see & meet other campaign participants as you view each other’s portraits on the wall. You are welcome to invite friends & family! We’ll have champagne and snacks, reminisce over the amazing time we had together, and share some laughs.
YOU SHOULD KNOW
There’s no such thing as “unphotogenic”.
There simply isn’t. If you think you are, then you haven’t been photographed by the right photographer. I see you- let me show you what I see.
Arthur C. Clarke said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
Combining shutter speed, aperture, and ISO, we’re going to slow down time and joyously craft beautiful portraits. It’s going to be marvelous, I promise.
“Time is a thief” and “You're not getting any younger” are TRUE cliches.
Time only moves in the forward direction and you will never be as young as you are today, at this very moment. Seize the day and get beautiful portraits taken! If not for you, then as a gift for everyone who loves you.
No regrets.
You will never regret having a beautiful photograph of yourself or your family. You just won’t. Let me take beautiful photographs for you.
My faith in Jesus is the best thing about me.
I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died, and was buried. I believe on the third day he rose from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty, and from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting.
Photography means “drawing with light.”
I think about light all the time. I love to notice it. I pay attention to it. The way it warms, wraps, slices, fills. Light is my favourite thing to think about. It’s poetry! It’s a metaphor for Jesus!
