1.  What are Classic Sessions?

Classic sessions feature my 3 signature looks:  Black on Black, Casual, and a Vanity Fair, or formal gown look.  

​

2.  What are the Signature Looks?  

The Black on Black look is designed to truly isolate you into the frame while amplifying your best features and expressions.  These create striking black and white portraits that are timeless, dramatic and elegant.  

The Casual Look can range from a white button down, a cozy sweater, your favorite t-shirt, or a tank top.  All causal looks are paired with your favorite pair of jeans with attention given to relaxed posing and more candid expressions.

The Vanity Fair Look gives you the chance to feel completely glamorous in one of my many beautiful gowns worthy of attending the Oscars.  This look is all about mood and elegance!

​

Not sure about these three looks or have you already been photographed before? 

Let's chat more during your consult and make sure to bring this up!

4.  How do you decide what I will wear?

After your consultation, I will send you a style survey that requests several things from you:  a set of 10-15 inspiration photos, a "blank canvas" photo that I will have you take of yourself, your sizes, and all of your style preferences.  Together, we will collaborate through FB or IG to create the perfect wardrobe for your day with me.  I encourage you to go through your own closet and even shop for items you've always wanted to wear! 

​

4b.  What styling options  do you have? 

My studio has been a home for thousands of garments over the years that have been styled from vintage to edgy fashion.  My wardrobe includes a collection of formal gowns ranging in materials from tulle, sequin, chiffon, satin, bold prints and more, a selection of suiting separates in basic colors and cuts,  a variety of basic pairings such as sweaters, body suits, skirts, and coats, a rack with bodices and corsets, PLUS a few basic dresses for all occasions.  If you see something on my website that you love, be sure to share that during your consultation and design process! 

​
