Introducing the next
Level of Luxe

A PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE ELEVATED

SELF-CARE, REIMAGINED

Clients often describe the studio as the definition of modern luxury — part self-care escape, part creative indulgence. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be greeted with chilled champagne, a private stylist, and a team focused entirely on crafting an editorial-level shoot designed around you. It feels decadent, intentional, and unlike anything else. Many clients return again and again — and we completely understand why.

WHY IS THIS DIFFERENT THAN OTHER PORTRAIT SESSIONS?
This experience is designed for women who want portraits that feel elevated and intentional — not rushed, posed, or generic. Many of my clients are navigating a new chapter, celebrating a personal milestone, or simply ready for images that reflect the woman they’ve grown into. They’re not models. They’re real women who want modern, editorial portraits with a polished, timeless aesthetic. They appreciate attention to detail, a high-touch experience, and a creative team that handles everything so they can simply arrive and enjoy the day.

If you want photographs that feel refined, expressive, and uniquely yours, this experience was created for you!

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
Before you book, we’ll have a consultation to discuss the overall styling and direction of your session. I’ll guide you on what photographs well, where to find pieces that support the aesthetic we’re creating, and how to choose looks that feel polished and authentic. Once your date is secured, you’ll receive a custom mood board with outfit suggestions tailored to the tones, textures, and silhouettes that will elevate your portraits. The studio also offers a curated selection of gowns, bodysuits, and accessories to incorporate into your final looks.

HOW DOES THE PRICING WORK?
Your session fee is due at the time of booking and secures your date, creative team, and the full planning process leading up to your shoot. Portrait collections and artwork are selected at your Reveal, once you’ve seen your edited images and chosen the pieces you love most. If you’d like detailed investment information, please fill out the contact form and we’ll be in touch personally.

WHAT IS YOUR AVAILABILITY LIKE?
I take on a limited number of commissions each month to ensure every client receives a highly personalized, hands-on experience. Because each session involves extensive planning, shooting, and retouching, my calendar tends to fill quickly. If you have a specific timeframe in mind, booking early is recommended.

I’M NERVOUS. IS THIS REALLY FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME?
Absolutely. Most women arrive feeling uncertain — and it’s completely normal. Every client you see on my site is a real woman, photographed with intentional lighting, expert direction, and styling that highlights her natural elegance. Throughout the session, you’ll be guided through every pose and expression with calm, thoughtful direction so nothing feels intimidating or performative. Simply arrive as you are, and we’ll take care of everything else.

WILL YOU PHOTOSHOP OR RETOUCH MY IMAGES?
Yes. Every selected portrait receives my signature high-end retouching — the same polished, editorial finish you see throughout my portfolio. The goal is to enhance, refine, and elevate while keeping everything natural and true to you.

WHAT IF I ONLY WANT DIGITALS?
Digitals and printed portraits are the same price. Your investment is in the luxury experience and the craftsmanship behind each final image — not the format in which it’s delivered. Each portrait you purchase includes its corresponding digital file.

HOW DO YOU DESIGN THE LOOKS?
Each look begins with the wardrobe. Once we select the clothing, the hair, makeup, background, and lighting are designed to create a cohesive, elevated aesthetic. If you have inspiration images you love, you’re welcome to share them — they help refine the direction. The final result blends my editorial style with a look that feels naturally aligned with you.

WHAT KIND OF PRODUCTS DOES THE STUDIO OFFER?
At your private Reveal, you’ll view a curated selection of approximately 150 images and choose the portraits you’d like to purchase. Selected images are then fully retouched and produced as fine-art pieces. The studio offers coffee-table albums, framed wall art, and a range of premium print options — including matted prints, canvas, and metal — so you can display your portraits in a way that suits your home and style.

FAQ’s

Will I really look as polished as the women on your site?

Yes — and in a way that still looks like you. Every woman you see is a real client, photographed with intention, beautiful lighting, expert direction, and thoughtful retouching. You’ll feel supported, guided, and celebrated every step of the way.

What if I only want digitals?

Digitals and printed portraits are the same price. Your investment is in the luxury experience and the craftsmanship behind each final image, no matter the format.

Do you photograph extended families?

I do not offer extended family sessions. My work is personalized, intimate, and editorial — designed for individuals and couples.

Do you travel?

I shoot exclusively in St. Louis, but many clients fly in to work with me. The studio is 30 minutes from the airport.

What should I wear?

Once you’re booked, we’ll build a custom mood board together with styling suggestions and outfit inspiration tailored to you.

How much retouching is included?

All purchased images include my signature editorial retouch: refined, clean, elegant, and still true to you.

HOW MANY LOOKS WILL I HAVE DURING MY SESSION?
Depending on your session type, we typically photograph 3–4 distinct looks. Your outfits can be completely different from one another — it’s an opportunity to show various facets of your personality and style. We’ll curate each look so the overall collection feels cohesive while still giving you variety.

I’M NERVOUS. IS THIS REALLY FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME?
It is — especially if you’re nervous. Most women walk in unsure and walk out saying it was one of the most empowering experiences of their lives. You don’t need to know how to pose. You don’t need to feel confident. That’s the whole point of this day.
