MOOD
UNFILTERED. UNAPPOLOGETIC. UNSTOPPABLE.
CASTING CALL
I AM SEEKING BOLD EXPRESSIVE HUMANS!
This is NOT about perfection.
It's RAW. Emotive. REAL.
This is about movement, presence and energy.
This is about being fully seen, exactly as you are.
THIS ISN'T ABOUT A GLAMOROUS MAKEOVER
I want to celebrate you, as you are, fully. These sessions are designed for women who want to feel seen, empowered, and recognized not just for their beauty but their truth & character.
This is a chance to feel FREE.
Free of judgment, Free of Self Criticism.
No matter what that looks like.
THREE
MOOD
DRIVEN
LOOKS
I AM LOOKING FOR
✓ Dynamic Personalities ages 10 and up
✓ People with a well-developed sense of personal style
✓Artist, Rebels, Deep Feelers, Survivors
✓ People with a magnetic vibe, a unique story, or a strong point of view
✓ People who are not afraid to be EXPRESSIVE!
Does this sound like you (or maybe your kid?)
☆ Do you have a strong or well-defined personal style?
☆ Have you been told you are expressive or even a little EXTRA?
☆ Do you like to move your body?
☆ Do you use your hands when you talk (a lot)?
☆ Do you feel deeply or wear your heart on your sleeve?
☆ Do you have a story to tell —or an energy that speaks for itself?
If this sounds like your or your child (aged 10+)
I would LOVE for you to apply!

Whats NOT included
(on purpose)
MOOD is intentionally different from my full-service portrait experience.
Here is what this session does NOT include.
❌ Full Hair & Make up Styling
(you will arrive styled as you usually are)
*light live styling & touch up is included
❌ Full Access to the studio wardrobe
No new clothes either, just one light outfit, one dark outfit,
and one that "shows some skin."
(or a third of your choosing)
*a few layering pieces are available
❌ Heavy Retouching
These are not airbrushed magazine photos, but the light is
thoughtfully crafted to bring out your best.
THIS IS YOU -- AS YOU ARE -- captured in intentional light with guided prompts and thoughtful direction.
* additional photographs are purchased separately at your reveal & ordering appointment
