FOR SOMETHING
A LITTLE DIFFERENT

Creative portraits are for the ideas that don’t fit into a typical photo session. A specific location, outfit, concept, mood, or just wanting to make something cool—we can build it around you and see where it goes.

eVERYONE NEEDS TO EXPRESS THEMSELVES

Creative sessions are a little more open-ended than a typical portrait session. Bring me an idea, a location, an outfit, a mood—or nothing more than “I want to do something different”—and we’ll figure out what makes sense from there.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Creative portraits don’t come with a set formula—and that’s the fun of it. Bring the idea, the outfit, the location, or just the vibe. We’ll take it from there.

1. START WITH THE IDEA

Fill out the contact form and tell me what you’ve got—whether it’s a full concept, A GODDESS SHOOT, a location you found, an outfit you want to use, or just a vibe you want to go for… lET ME KNOW!

2. iRON OUT THE DEATS

We’ll talk through the details, pick the right location and time, and put together a loose plan. You don’t need every detail nailed down before reaching out.

3. HAVE SOME FUN

Show up, relax, and be willing to try some things. I’ll give you direction when you need it, but we’re not going to spend the whole session forcing stiff poses.

4. PICK YOUR FAVORITES

You’ll get a proofing gallery after the session where you can choose the images you want edited. Once you’ve made your picks, I’ll finish them up and send over your final online gallery.
