Frequently Asked Questions
I'm not comfortable sharing my images online. Is that okay?
100% okay!! Your session with me is completely private and images are NEVER shared anywhere without your permission.
If you decide that you're okay with it, you will FIRST get an image release with the specific image number and how and where it will be used.
I'm worried about my body. can you photoshop me?
First things first. You are absolutely gorgeous just as you are. This whole experience is to help you see yourself in a new light. I want to help you face yourself and finally see beyond the flaws. I will definitely photoshop bruises, acne, and anything that is not permanent. I also fully retouch your skin, but I will not be altering your body. You have had a hell of a journey. Be proud of what your body has done with you.
do i have to get naked?
Absolutely not. You can wear as little or as much clothing as you'd like. This is your experience. You are in full control of the boundaries.
how long will the session take?
This depends on which experience you get into, if you'd like to take advantage of our hair and makeup, I'd expect to set aside about 3.5-4 hours. Hair and Make-up takes about an hour (though sometimes runs over) and with outfit changes and posing breaks, it can easily hit that 3 hour mark.
No hair or make-up? Set aside a solid 2 hours!
After that, I'll have you back in within 3 hours for your reveal!
can i bring a friend with me on the day of my session?
When the session is 1 on 1, that's when the environment is perfect for vulnerability and connection.
When you step into more than that, it becomes a production and the vibe is entirely different, no matter how comfortable you may be around that additional person.
I typically recommend flying solo (though we do have a studio assistant many times) but if it would make you feel more comfortable to have someone with you, bring her along. The only rule is she has to be your hype girl! No negativity here! If the vibe is off, she may be asked to leave. YOU are my number one priority!
Will you pose me?
Of course!! You don't need to worry about that at all! I will guide you every step of the way! I have over 10 years of experience and will pose you in a way that highlights your beauty.
What do you do with my images after the session?
Such a good question! For the sake of safety and trust, I only store the photos on site for 45 days. Once your images are downloaded and your products are ordered and delivered, I delete the photos. Your photos can also be hosted upon request in a password protected online gallery for 30 days.
