Where is your studio?

My new studio is located in Santa Maria, California!

Can we take photos at a different location?

I love life style experiences. Your home does not have to be fancy, or if you would like something outside or in a space of your choice, let's talk!

What should I wear to my session? Should I go shopping?

Before your session, we will have either a phone or in person consultation. I strongly believe to keep it simple! The most important thing is that whatever you do choose, that it fits properly. With the full package, you do have access to some lingerie, vintage robes, and other fun stuff!

Why do I need Professional Hair and Makeup?

Not only do I have the BEST hair and makeup artist on the Central Coast, but really I do! Our every day makeup is not the same as photography makeup. What we would consider "heavy" will not show up on camera, it will look as if we have nothing on. Certain color combinations will show up completely different or muted, highlighters will be white or chalky, blushes will look red, makeup will look completely different if I am using natural light or constant light. A professional hair and makeup artist knows the difference and will apply the makeup like a wizard so you will look flawless on camera. When you look in the mirror it will look heavy, however on camera, it will look polished. If you would like to know more about my Hair & Makeup Artist, please visit her Instagram at @Beautyandthebeehive. Her products are all cruelty free and she works at HepKat Salon in San Luis Obispo.

How will I know what to do before the session?

You will receive a Prep Guide on what to do and Not do before your session!

Will you share my photos?

Every client has the option to sign a model release, and on the release you have the option to sign for anonymous, pre-approved only, full, or private only. I will never share your images without your consent.

Do I need to go nude?

Of course you do not, however I do encourage you to empower yourself and let me take a few artistic nude shots, I will not put you in raunchy or porno poses ever, I always keep it classy! You do not have to purchase any, but you are there, hey why not? If you ever feel uncomfortable, let me know, and we can go a different route. This is your time!

Can I bring a Friend/Family member?

We think we will be more comforted with a friend, or family member there, however you will not be able to "let go" for fear of judgement, no matter how much they love us, this is your time, your experience, your photo shoot. They can come and hang out with you while you have your hair and makeup done, and then sit in the front while you have your session. You can tell them all about it when you are done!
