• An hour dedicated to your solo portraiture.

• We will be taking both formal and playful portraits! I have a range of styles to explore with you, but to start, I have prepared a selection of portraits to give you an idea of my portraiture work in a studio setting. Let me know if there’s an image that speaks to you, and that can be our jump-off point. 

• You may opt for a maximum of two outfits. I suggest going for a piece that makes you feel most confident! Color-wise, best to go with either black or white. We can play with shapes as well, so please keep that in mind when choosing your outfit.
