Full-Service Sessions
From wardrobe selection to posing guidance, I assist at every step to ensure your shoot runs smoothly and achieves the desired look. I make sure every detail is covered, from the first consultation to the final image delivery, to help you feel confident and ready for your big debut.
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 you 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. Whether you’re looking for clean, commercial looks or high-fashion editorial shots, we’ll cover it all.
Location Flexibility
We can shoot in the studio, outdoors, or at on-location settings that best suit your desired aesthetic and story. I have a keen eye for locations, whether it’s in Scottsdale or any other scenic area across Arizona, ensuring your photos stand out.
Quick Turnaround
Your images will be delivered promptly so you can start using them immediately for your career needs, whether it’s for agency submissions, personal branding, or portfolio updates.
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’ll guide you through the decision-making process to ensure the setting matches your goals, whether it’s for portfolio development, agency submissions, or branding.
