Here's what I want you to imagine as you walk in the studio door...
For black and white images, it's best to stick to neutral colors (I recommend only bringing stuff that is black, white, nude or navy). A classic oversized white or black button down is always great, a black bodysuit, a slip or a robe, your favorite neutral colored underwear. You can keep it simple. Of course, if you want to bring your favorite LBD that's perfect too. A couple of weeks before your session, I'll send over information of more specifics of what to wear/bring, so definitely don't stress about this!
Almost everyone feels this way, but I promise you that once we get going you won't have time to feel awkward because I will be giving you tons of direction. We'll get into a flow so you can't overthink it! As for retouching, the nature of these particular portraits will naturally lend to a less retouched style, but where necessary I will of course touch up blemishes, etc. And please let me know if there is anything you're particularly sensitive about.
These series are all about getting into a creative mindset and making art, so no headshots during these! But I'm happy to schedule a separate session for that anytime.
As soon as the shoots wrap up, I'll get started editing your images. In about a month, you'll receive a link to your personal online "art gallery" where you can select your favorite image for me to have made into an art print for you (included with your session fee), as well as purchase any additional portraits you'd like. Extra images begin at $250/each for a print+file. I'll also be making a little video for each person with a montage of all your best images from the day.
If this will be our first time meeting, I'm Lindsey and we're going to have the best time making these portraits for you. You're picking a great first project for us to create together - These sessions are going to be relaxed in spirit (i.e. we'll probably laugh a lot the whole time) but will result in soft and sexy images. The best combo if you ask me!
I can't wait to meet you.
