Everyone in your portrait looks like a model! I feel self conscious to be in front of the camera.

Don’t let our fashion inspired work fool you. You’ll look and feel like a million bucks after your photoshoot! It is our aim to take portraits of you that are Vogue magazine cover worthy. It is normal to feel self conscious in front of the camera. We completely understand that it can seem scary and intimidating. We eliminate that fear by getting to know you ahead of the shoot during the Pre-Shoot Consultation. On the shoot day it is all about YOU! You’ll get pampered in hair and makeup, rock out to your favorite tunes, and have fun building your confidence and feeling gorgeous! Anyone – young and old, all shapes, sizes and ages – can do this. This empowering portrait experience is designed to highlight & draw out your unique inner beauty!

I need to lose weight before the photoshoot.

Actually, you don’t! You are beautiful. Right now. Exactly as you are. It is completely normal to want to be in absolute best shape for the camera. BUT don’t let this hold you back from having this incredible experience. Our poses, wardrobe recommendations, and lens choices instantly shave off 20 pounds. Kaela will guide you step by step on exactly how to pose and capture your best expressions and angles. We also smooth bumps in retouching for a streamlined silhouette. Trust our process to build confidence and show you just how beautiful you are! We got you!

Is professional hair and makeup included?

Yes! Your Couture Portrait session includes a full complimentary professional hairstyling & make-up session custom tailored for you. During your Pre-Shoot Consultation, we’ll iron out the details of your desired hair and makeup looks. We work with the top hair and makeup artists in the area; these gals are specialized in creating the best on-camera looks with our studio and natural lighting setups. They are highly trained in accurately color matching skin tones, creating a wide variety of looks, and proper sanitizing practices. We guarantee, you’ll feel absolutely gorgeous and red carpet ready for your photoshoot!

What should I wear?

We will discuss wardrobe during your Pre-Shoot Consultation. We can look through items in your own wardrobe, you can browse our wide selection of studio wardrobe, and we can discuss the best places to shop. You’ll take home our Style Guide so you’ll know the exact steps to take to plan and prep for your photoshoot. Trust me, we got you covered!

Can I be photographed with a friend or family member?

Absolutely! Celebrate all those special relationships in your life! Book a double Couture Portrait experience with your sister, mom, daughter, son, partner, colleague, best friend, or pet. Just notify us ahead of time for scheduling purposes. If they would like treated to professional hair and makeup, it is $200 per person to add-on that service.

Do you work with an all female team?

We sure do! We work with an all female team of boss babes! These talented ladies will bring out the best in you for an epic photoshoot experience.

Will my images be retouched?

Yes, our retouching is truly the icing on the cake! We do high end professional retouching on all images that you purchase. Master art retouching is included on all wall art pieces, which includes extensive detail work. Kaela learned retouching by studying the work of world renowned portrait and fashion retoucher, Pratik Naik. She also attributes her background in Fine Arts with drawing, painting, art history, and anatomy studies to her retouching skills. Like a painting in a museum, no detail is left unnoticed!

Are digital files included?

Yes, you receive the corresponding digital files to anything you purchase. For example, if you order our 25 image Crystal Album, you will also receive those 25 images as digital files as well. You’ll receive the digital files in two different versions: High Res (full size highest resolution), and Web/Social Media (sized for screen viewing on websites and social media).

We typically book 1-2 months in advance. During busier seasons like summer or fall, we can book up to 3 months in advance. To secure your place in line, please contact us as soon as possible.
