• An hour dedicated to solo portraiture. 

• 15 -20 min exploratory call with you so we can align on shoot direction! This is not mandatory, but it’ll be lovely to do a pre-warm-up meet. 

• We will be taking both formal and playful portraits! I have a range of styles to explore, but to start, I have prepared a selection of in-Workroom portraits to give you an idea of what we’ll do. Feel free to let me know if there’s an image that speaks to you, and that can be our jump-off point. Please keep in mind that each person is different, final images will vary. 

• 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 and texture (e.g., piña, pleats, silk) - please send me your chosen outfit/s prior to the shoot. 

• Ten (10)  edited images will be turned over. Minor retouching of blemishes as needed.
