Pricing Guide
Empowerment Portraits
This experience starts the second you inquire. Once you fill out my contact form, I'll send you a little Welcome Guide to walk you through the process of booking as well as my package options. You will also be given the option to schedule a short 15 minute video chat/ phone call with me if you have any questions you'd like to ask face to face before you book.
The first thing people ask me once they've booked is "what on earth should I wear?!?!" And I get it! You've just done all the hard work of planning a photoshoot, and now you're ready for the fun part- planning! That's why the very first thing I do after you schedule your session is send you a style guide. This talks about everything from the do's and don'ts of wardrobe to extra things you might want to bring to your session.
Then after you've had some time to sort through your clothes- or go buy yourself something new (see below), you and I will meet up at a local coffee shop for a little coffee date. I know you want photos that feel like you, which is why I take such pride in getting to know you BEFORE your session so that during your session, I understand how to photograph THE REAL YOU.
Services Provided
I love providing hair and makeup for my clients. I'm sure we all know the stress of not being able to get our hair to hold a curl or getting our eyeliner to match on both sides. This experience is supposed to pamper you. Not add more stress to your life!
Depending on the location we've chosen for your session, you may have on-site hair and makeup, or we may meet up at a salon first. While you get all glammed up, you and I will chat over your coffee of choice- if you don’t like coffee, we can find another drink for you! I do this for two reasons:
- Being in front of a camera can feel very vulnerable and I want to help level the playing field by telling you all my embarrassing stories and spicy secrets!
- It gives us both time to warm up, so when your session starts, we’ll have both gotten out our jitters!
I don't care if you...
don't know how to pose! Most of my clients are NOT models, so don’t stress if you don’t know how to pose yourself. I will walk you through each pose, and even demonstrate it if that’s helpful. The way I like to work is by giving you a simple prompt and making adjustments from there.
For example: “Lean against the tree with your arm up and pop that booty. Okay now
look up at your hand, look at me, take that other hand and slide it up and down your
thigh. Oh wait! Bend your left elbow! Close your eyes. Perfect!! Oh my gosh
that looks great!”
I’m pretty sure that’s a word for word transcript of what I told Myaha during these photos
What to expect after?
After we've exhausted all of our ideas and I've said "oh wait no just one more!" about a ZILLION TIMES, we'll wrap up your session. Once we've packed up, I'll go home and start working on your photos, and you can expect an email with your online gallery two weeks from your session date.
With these sessions, I also include a physical copy of your photos in some way, shape or form. The fan favorite is a leather bound, flat-lay photo album. And honestly, once you hold one of these bad boyz, you won't ever want your photos another way. After I deliver your gallery, I'll start working on creating your album and have it sent to you as soon as possible. The shipping varies with these based on the time of year.
Who is this for?
This package is for the woman who wants to be pampered and wants someone else to take care of all the details. The woman who knows her worth and is willing to do what it takes to show up for herself. This is an all inclusive package, however it's not my most extensive. This package is perfect for you if you want an experience that is more than just a photoshoot, but you don't have the time or energy to put into journaling and affirmation work. This is the perfect middle ground.
This investment is $2,400
Now, the point of this photoshoot is to treat yourself. To pamper yourself. To remind yourself that you deserve nice things. So, to help you reaaalllly give in to treating yourself, I will offer $200 off if you promise to spend it on something for yourself. Go buy some new lingerie or a new pair of shoes for your session. Get a manicure. Put it towards a new haircut or color. Do SOMETHING nice for yourself with this money. You deserve it.
... and plus if you don't promise to spend it on yourself, then you'll be LOSING $200 essentially so girl math, you HAVE to buy yourself something nice :)
Total you pay: $2,200
Don't have time for all that?
If you're looking for a package that doesn't have all the frills of the first one, this package is for you. In this package, you'll do your own hair and makeup, but I'll still send you the style guide to point you in the right direction. This package is for someone who doesn't want as many digital images since this one comes with 20 rather than 40. It's perfect if you aren't looking for a physical copy of your images like a photo album. But mostly, it's perfect for someone who has less time to spend on this experience. Instead of a 4 hour experience, you'll have a one-two hour session. You can choose a one hour in studio session, or a two hour outdoor session. Additionally, this package only includes one optional 15 minute call before booking to answer any of your questions. It's perfect for the woman who is too busy to meet up for coffee and too busy for the journaling activities. The woman who knows what she wants outfit-wise, theme-wise, vibe-wise and just needs a photographer ready to capture it.
This package is $600
Do you want more from your session and have extra time?
If the first package sounds great, but you're looking for something that will really make a lasting impact on your self-talk, this third package might be for you.
This is a 4-week program to really reset your mental space. On top of everything from the first package, each week you'll have a journal prompt to work through various aspects of healing and self-discovery such as negative self-talk, positive affirmations, and connecting to yourself and your femininity. By the time your session rolls around, you'll be feeling more like yourself than you have in quite a while!
The Getaway
The getaway is designed to help you connect with yourself that starts with journaling and ends with a one-night stay in a relaxing Airbnb all to yourself. Each week for 4 weeks, I'll send you a journal prompt that will bring awareness to any negative self-talk you may have and then slowly reframe your thinking through positive affirmations. You'll write about times you feel your most feminine and brainstorm ways to incorporate more of that energy into your daily routine.
Day of the shoot
After your hair and makeup is done, you and I will spend some time together doing an activity that helps us channel our femininity. Think back to your journaling activity. I'm thinking painting, reading, walking in nature. Something of the sort.
Once we feel feminine as fuck, we'll start taking photos around the Airbnb for as long as we feel necessary. And after a while of that, I'll leave for you to enjoy your Airbnb all to yourself for the rest of the night.
With this package, you'll get upwards of digital 100 images. Essentially anything where you weren't blinking.
Why "The Getaway"?
You deserve a night to yourself. To sleep in sheets that someone else is going to wash. To order take-out. You deserve to rent out an entire Airbnb, get wine drunk and spend the night painting, reading, bingeing reality TV or whatever sets your soul on fire! You deserve a night away from all the craziness that is every day life. This is your chance to get away from your job. Your coworkers. Your family that always needs something from you. To get away from the loud city noise and the traffic. This is your chance to disappear into nature even if only for one night.
Here are just a few Airbnb's I have in mind...

FAQ
What is the two week rule?
The two week rule means that I will only edit out things that will be gone in two weeks. One pimple? Gone. A bruise? A scratch? Gone. However, I will never remove anything permanent on your body or do any serious photoshopping. If you're looking for someone to slim your waist or remove a scar, I'm not the photographer for you. I believe all bodies are beautiful and it's important to me that my work represents that. With that being said, I still support each person's right to cosmetic surgery and would photograph them just the same. But post processing, I will not touch up your body in any permanent way.
Where are you based and do you travel?
Seattle!! But I am originally from Northern Kentucky/ Cincinnati area and travel home often. Additionally, I am always looking for an adventure, so if you're in need of a photographer who travels, I'm your gal! Contact me for additional travel cost information.
How soon will I get to see my photos?
Your gallery will be delivered within two weeks of the photoshoot. However, if that timeline doesn't work for you, I do offer an expedited gallery delivery at an additional cost.
When is my session fee due?
The first half of your session fee is due upon booking. This non-refundable retainer acts as a placeholder to secure your date. The second half of your session fee is due in full twenty-four hours before your session. Payment plans are offered.
Do you offer prints of my photos?
Yes! The gallery I'll send you after your session has a print shop attached which has quite a few options. Inquire with me for more information!
I loved my session! Do you accept tips?
Of course! Photographers, just like any other professional service provider, appreciate tips. It helps me know that I've done a great job!
