Many women find it difficult to not only spend money on themselves, but find it hard to love themselves in photos... which is why this program even exists!
This is an experience that you will enjoy and look back on for years to come.... Plus, if you have children (especially daughters and granddaughters) believe me, they will love seeing your pictures as much as you do - even more! Imagine how you feel when you see your own mother and grandmother in photographs!
You and your family will cherish the photos and the time you invested in yourself to be a part of this, so I offer different levels of the collections and individual products and for those that request it, I have payment plans available make it manageable.

'Expensive' and 'cheap' are very subjective words that never apply to everyone's wallet... and some people want more and others want less.. these two things make this a hard question to answer.
After you pay your reservation fee of $399, there is no minimum order amount.. in fact, you are not required to place an order at all!
However, I already know that you're going to love your portraits and the products, so I also offer a no-interest payment plan and a financing option so you can get what you want and make it a little easier on the wallet!

Yes! There are actually two directions this question can go...
Cheerleader:
You are welcome to bring a guest to watch and cheer you on, but please limit it to one person so our attention can be in the proper place.
In the shoot:
I have several ladies that want to incorporate their spouse, family, mother, friend, etc and I'm very open to that possibility, but we need to discuss the logistics and plan for that segment of the shoot so please let me know what you're thinking ahead of time!
If you want to surprise me, I'm a caramel macchiato kind of girl, but please don't surprise me with a bunch of people at your photoshoot! lol!
-
The intent is a "beauty project for ladies 40 and over"... it obviously will take on different meanings to different people. so your answers when we chat and the outfits you want to use will dictate the direction of the shoot.
If you want to incorporate some boudoir-style images, we can, but it's definitely not a requirement.
-
After photographing many people over my career, I'm confident that you will love the finished product. However if you are not satisfied, the initial $399 will not be refunded, but you may opt out of purchasing other portraits at no additional cost and your photos will be deleted from the system.
-
I can only hold one complimentary Portrait Reveal & Order Appointment per client because of time limitations, so be sure to bring anyone that needs to be involved in a financial decision because a $100 fee will be added to your order if an additional appointment is necessary.
Rest assured that the reason I do the appointments is so I can help you! Come prepared to place your order and I promise I'll help to make it easy to decide!

Yes. Your images are kept as safe as possible on the hard drives in my office and in the cloud, but I never recommend relying on hard drives simply because technology has been proven to fail over the years. The best way to protect your investment is to have your photographs in print from the beginning and get everything you want at the Reveal & Order Appointment.

I am a clean and clear retoucher- meaning I am happy to clean up blemishes, wrinkles, smooth out skin, make small nudges of bloated/fatty areas, and clear out any distracting elements in the backgrounds. I won't perform magic or surgery- meaning I will not transform you into someone/something you're not. We'll talk more about this at your Reveal & Order Appointment, where I'll show you the different levels of retouching so you can choose!
