The Session
The Professional Essential session is streamlined for busy schedules without compromising quality. We'll quickly review your outfit choices, select the best option, and move into shooting. Professional coaching ensures you look natural and approachable. The session includes one primary setup with variations in angle and expression. You'll review images and select your final 2 during the session.
Step by Step
We'll welcome you to the studio, offer you water or coffee, and review the outfit options you've brought. We'll select the strongest choice for your professional goals.
We set up our signature lighting and take a few test frames to dial in the look. You'll see the monitor so you understand the direction right away.
Over 30–35 minutes of shooting, we'll guide your posture, expression, and angles. No stiff poses — the goal is natural confidence.
We review images together on the studio monitor and select your 2 final images before you leave.

Can I upgrade to more images later?

How quickly will I get my images?
Standard delivery is within the same week as your session. Rush 24-hour delivery is available for $100 if you need images sooner.
