WHAT IF I AM NOT PHOTOGENIC? 

Well the great news is - photogenic is a skill that can be learned! And I’m the ultimate coach - in fact, it’s my super power. I’ll find your best angles and coach you into them. How to hold your head, shoulders, hands, everything down to your expression. No need to worry about your pose/body position - I got you!

WHAT IF I GAINED WEIGHT? 

Listen, I get it. You are uncomfortable in your body. Often our weight is a roller coaster throughout our lives. I know exactly what that is like, having gone through it myself. So what we are really talking about here is the negative self voice that comes up telling you that you are not worthy because you’ve gained weight. Well, if some extra pounds is where you’re at right now, then that’s just what it is. How long have you been avoiding the camera because of it? Time to put your foot down and stand in your value, at this age, at this stage, at this weight. You are beautiful just the way you are, and your weight is the least interesting thing about you.

HOW MUCH CAN I EXPECT TO SPEND?

The photo shoot experience starts at $1500+tax. Included in every portrait session experience is a custom session design, wardrobe guide + consultation, the fully guided photo shoot with Carrie, professional hair and makeup, the Photo Premiere viewing and ordering appointment, and signature retouching on images purchased.

We have thoughtfully put together image collections and wall art displays based on the most frequent client purchases. We have a variety of first class products including matted print collections, albums, and wall art (framed prints, canvases, etc), and each photo chosen gets its corresponding digital file. Though the spending range is vast, the average client tends to spend in the $3-5K range for their session and the photo products they desire. Some spend more, some spend less, but all end up loving more photos than they thought possible. We also offer book in package specials that can be chosen at the time of booking.

CAN I BRING SOMEONE TO MY PHOTO SHOOT? 

For this project it's about you, you, and YOU. So we will not be accepting additional faces for this. You can contact me to schedule a separate shoot with your loved ones

HOW LONG IS THE SHOOT AND WHERE WILL IT BE DONE? 

Photo shoots are up to 3 hours and take place at my studio in Stonington, Connecticut. We shoot Approx 10:30 AM -1:30 PM  on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

THE WOMEN ON YOUR WEBSITE THEY JUST CAME OUT OF THE PAGES OF A MAGAZINE. I DON’T LOOK LIKE THAT ...
CAN I REALLY DO THIS?

Well, first of all, THANK YOU! I take that as a compliment of the highest regard. Because magazine style portraits for every day women and men are what we do! So know that these women are not models; but look like that because we give them the celebrity red carpet experience and guide them through every step of the process. As in, want to know what to wear that will look the most flattering? We have wardrobe guidelines AND a wardrobe consultation - we even have a studio wardrobe for you to dip into if you are looking for something a bit more glam. Want to look your best on set? We have a professional hair and makeup artist to get you done up and even change up looks during your session. Want to absolutely love how you look in your photos with the most flattering angles? Well, I got you on that, too. Your photo shoot is fully guided, meaning, I am going to coach you into the poses that are most flattering for you. Don’t want to look posed? Cool, because the word pose simply indicates the position that your body is and not a stiff hold of the body. Everybody has a different best angle, and I’m able to find yours.

Can I buy just the digital images?

Each photograph that is purchased gets its corresponding digital file, so you do get the digital! We believe in a printed legacy and that photographs are meant to be up on walls, in albums, and out for your enjoyment - this is very much our ‘why.’ If you opt to forgo the print that is included with the purchase, however, the price remains the same.
