Do you do events or weddings?

We are exceptional at creating portraits that tell stories and that is our niche. So no, we do not do weddings / events/ birthday parties etc.

Once you book your session, we provide you with all the help you need, including how to pick what to wear, styling, what to bring and what to do so you are well prepared for your session.

How long does a photo session go for?

It depends on what type of session you are going for and if you added the hair and makeup services. A typical newborn session goes longer than a branding session. A headshot mini session is around 20 mins. So it all varies.

How long before I get to see my images?

Oh we can’t keep you waiting … we love it when you are excited to enjoy your portraits. For most of our sessions, the design appointment(ordering sesison) is done either the same day or the next day. Once you buy what you love we work on getting your art work ready for you.

I need Albums and Wall Art for my home. Can you help?

ABSOLUTELY. We believe beautiful photographs shouldn’t sit on a USB gathering dust in a drawer. YES we specialize in creating Wall ART and gorgeous albums for you. Infact we have the best products available out there. Our Italian products look & feel like silk & velvet. You will love our exclusive selection of products.

How do the sessions work?

Through our pre-consultation, we plan your photography experience. It helps us understand what is important to you and how best to create your essence on an art print that you will LOVE for your FOREVER. Providing hair and makeup service, on set, prior to the shoot gives you the comfort of not having to worry about getting those things done ahead of time. We are experts at guiding you to the right poses and we have plenty of experience working with people of all comfort levels. Your session is an experience and we build it to make sure you get images that will become your legacy.

Do I get the RAW files?

No RAW files will not be provided. We believe in delivering finished products only. There are no exceptions to this. You go to a restaurant to enjoy a gourmet dinner not raw food. We are that restaurant.

Can I scan my printed images ?

It is illegal to scan your prints. Photographers hold the copyright to the images by law. Any printing that is needed needs prior approval by the artist or needs to go thru the studio.

Can I get only digital files ?

It depends on the type of portrait experience. Digitals only package is now available for a branding sessions only. Packages start at $1600. For all other sessions we provide packages that include beautiful artwork along with digitals. You can buy packages or just Ala-Carte art pieces. Talk to us for your specific needs. Starting July 01, 2021, packages start at $2000.

How much is your session fee?

Our creative session fee is $250 which includes your own custom photgraphy experience, styling assistance, pre-consultation and a reveal and ordering session. Products are NOT included. Please get in touch with us for detailed pricing and various Ala-Carte and/or Collections options. Pricing varies on the choice of product so please reach out to us for details.

Can I cancel my session?

Session fee is NOT refundable. It blocks your session date and we don’t take any other client that day. If you need to re-schedule please give us 48 hour notice. Re-scheduling is allowed only once.

How long do you keep my photographs for ?

We cannot guarantee preserving your images and recommend buying the photographs you love at your ordering appointment.

Headshots: Making the right impression every time

A great corporate headshot represents you when you aren’t in the room. It brings your personal essence into a room full of people so they know who you are before you even meet them. It brings you to the table for a job, for an interview, to the casting director’s list, to the HR recruitment panel, to the residency you have been wanting so badly. It pushes your career to the next step. But how much you invest in yourself is always up to you.

What are You Really Paying For?

You not only pay for the time of the photographer but also the talent that is needed to help you relax in front of the camera so your essence is captured. The expertise to finish a corporate headshot that will make people stop scrolling and pay attention. So choose a portrait photographer who is as invested in your career as you are.

Story of a Storyteller

Filmmakers are storytellers at heart. Now, there are storytellers and then there are THE storytellers who keep you on the edge of your chair, biting your nails, waiting for the next scene to unfold and a new drama to unravel. Their storytelling takes your though a journey, and from start to finish it keeps you fully immersed in each moment. We all watch movies and TV shows. It’s the best way to share stories. It can take you thousands of miles away, sometimes even right inside your home, and brings out deep emotions you never thought you had. It makes you smile, laugh, cry, feel jealous, makes you pine for lost love and creates this emotional ride for you as you watch the characters evolve throughout the narrative. You love the hero, hate the villain. Sometimes you empathize with them, but most importantly you carry them with you, even long after those moments are gone and the movie has ended.

It takes a special kind of person to draw you into such stories, and I am so proud to know someone like this… someone who is not your average videographer, someone who makes the magic of cinema happen for people like you and me. Meet Barrett from Rising Tide Studios, a filmmaker and storyteller. His work as a moviemaker speaks for itself. He is, without a doubt, a creator. This is where you can checkout his work, and if you feel the need to create your own story via a motion picture, he can spin magic for you.

When he reached out to create branding imagery for his business, there was only one way we would do his work justice: Make the same cinematic style portraits for the man who excels in movie making!
