Our Portrait Sessions Include

Your ‘Portrait Experience’ In Detail

Free Pre-Shoot Consultation: A Very Personal Touch

Before your session, we meet in person for a free styling consultation in our studio (or via Skype/FaceTime). We design your photo shoot, meaning we discuss colors, clothes you would like to wear, the overall mood and how you’d like to look in your new portraits. Whether it’s soft and ethereal, romantic, or dark and dramatic – we ensure that we capture the essence of you by gently guiding you through the shoot.

We will also consult with you regarding the exclusive custom print products and packages that are available. But no worries: There is no need to make any decisions at that time! We will shoot first in a relaxed atmosphere and you can choose your prints and package later during your viewing session.

In conclusion: This free pre-shoot consultation offers both of us the perfect starting situation for an exciting and successful portrait photography shoot.
