PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
COLUMBUS / ATLANTA GA
Every portrait begins with a story waiting to be seen, and designed to meet you where you are.
BEGIN FROM THAT QUIET YES
STEP ONE
CONNECTION & VISION
When you feel ready for images that reflect you with honesty and care, this is where we begin. We slow down together and talk about this season of your life, how you want to look and feel, and the energy you want your portraits to hold. We’ll meet face-to-face by video, or in your home when it feels right for the project. I listen closely so I can understand you and shape a session that feels true. This conversation becomes our quiet map, guiding what you wear, how you prepare, and the way you’ll be supported on the day of your session. Nothing is abstract. It’s an intimate beginning, and you’ll be gently guided through every step.
STEP TWO
THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE
Your session is a guided, collaborative process. You don’t need to know how to pose or what to do; I’ll guide you so you can relax into the moment. Light, movement, and expression unfold at their own pace. Each session can include whatever feels true to you.. Editorial portraits, fine-art moments, or professional branding. What matters most is the story we create together, while everything unfolds at a pace that feels right for you.
STEP THREE
THE REVEAL
When your portraits are ready, you’ll be invited to a private reveal to see yourself with new eyes. You’ll choose the images that speak to you and decide how you’d like to keep them as digital collections, wall art, or both. Every decision is guided with care so what you take home feels personal and meaningful. You’ll know exactly what to expect, and I’ll help you choose the pieces that feel like yours.
