Step one: Inquiry Step two: Consultation Step three: Booking Step four: Your Session Step five: Post Consultation My distinctive approach to the sessions I undertake centers around providing a handcrafted experience tailored to each portrait session and event I document. The initial phase, much like any significant event, involves a detailed discussion and collaboration to shape your vision for the session. My ultimate aim is to capture the essence of your images through this creative journey, with me serving as your dedicated artist. Going back to my art school roots, we will brainstorm and map out your session from inception to completion, often drawing inspiration from mood boards we curate on Pinterest. If you can’t find what you’re searching for on Pinterest, rest assured, I’m here to assist. If you’re concerned about not having a fully fleshed-out vision prior to our consultation, there’s no need for worry; I’ve got you covered! As an experienced professional in my field, I’m well-equipped to present a range of ideas and ensure they align with your vision, as customizing and designing for your brand is of utmost importance. I’m eager to guide you in selecting your style and producing content tailored to your needs. To begin, we’ll explore colors, wardrobe choices, styling elements like hair and makeup, and finally, the location to finalize all details. In preparation for your session, I recommend reading this blog post where I share a few essential photoshoot preparation tips to help you feel your best and fully prepared. The five steps in this process are designed to be enjoyable and seamless, allowing you to return to what you love most and savor your everyday moments—just remember, your session will be a special one, and together, we’ll showcase your brilliance.

When you book a headshot session with me we start with an in-depth questionnaire post our initial consultation to continue the collaborative effort. When Oona contacted me she was coming to the end of her trip to the states and needed some updated headshots for her business as a healer and witch doctor. She wanted to convey a sense of spirituality with elevated images for her brand and she trusted our collaboration of her vision. So before we get to the results of her incredible session here's a small glimpse into the process! What is the primary message or emotion you want your brand to convey through the photographs? An air of elegance, luxury, authenticity, depth, power, ancient knowledge, modern approachability (think of the air of a queen of Sheba, or Egypt), Can you describe the overall aesthetic or style you envision for your brand photography? Blue colours (I have the hex numbers). Background: ocean, sky, cosmos works well. What are the key products or services you want to showcase in the photographs? Courses and private sessions of a spiritual nature (not New Age, not religious) but divine in the sense of the ability to transcend human limitations - anything from fire-walking to becoming invisible and levitating. Do you have any specific props or accessories that you would like to incorporate into your branding session? Perhaps my harp but I am not sure about that. Are there any particular colors or color palettes that are important to represent your brand? Gold, Dark Blue, Bright Blue, Light blue Do you have any specific poses or compositions in mind that you would like to incorporate in the photographs? My face lit up with the light of a candle in devotional pose, but also just a good normal picture and whatever you suggest. Are there any specific images or examples from other brands that inspire you and align with your vision? If you use Pinterest please create a vision board for your session and drop the link here as well! I'll send some photos per email. How do you plan to use the branding photographs? Are they for your website, social media, print materials, or other marketing channels? Yes, website, flyers, social media. Is there anything else you would like me to know or consider before the branding session to ensure we capture your brand's essence effectively? Not at this moment.
