What I Offer

Comprehensive sessions that will get you the Modeling Portfolio you need.

• Portfolio Shoots: Showcase your range with dynamic looks and styles, perfect for comp cards, agencies, and personal branding.

My Process

Each session is customized to fit your vision. I begin with an in-depth consultation to understand your goals, whether it’s creating a dramatic fashion look or capturing natural, everyday beauty shots. I help with everything from wardrobe and styling recommendations to directing poses that highlight your strengths.

• Multiple Looks: I ensure you leave with a diverse set of images, showcasing different styles, moods, and lighting setups.

• Location Flexibility: Studio, outdoor, or on-location settings to best suit your desired aesthetic and story.

• Quick Turnaround: Retouched, ready-for-use images will be delivered promptly so you can start using them immediately for your career needs.

In Studio or On Location

Whether you prefer the controlled environment of a studio or the dynamic backdrop of an outdoor or on-location setting, I provide the flexibility to create the look and feel you need.

• Studio Sessions: Ideal for clean, focused shots where lighting, mood, and wardrobe take center stage. The studio offers complete control over the environment, allowing for dramatic lighting setups and creative freedom in a contained space.

• On-Location Sessions: If you want to tell a story or capture more lifestyle-focused images, on-location shoots provide a range of possibilities. Whether it’s an urban setting in Scottsdale or a scenic outdoor spot in Arizona, I scout the best locations to complement your vision.

I will guide you through the decision-making process to ensure the setting matches your goals, whether it’s for portfolio development, agency submission, or branding.
