Creative Portraits

Start with a concept, mood, or visual idea. We collaborate on lighting, styling, and atmosphere to bring it to life — for example, a character portrait, an artistic experiment, or a musician’s visual concept.

Sessions $200 / $275 · edited images chosen separately

What it is

A collaborative session built around your concept. We shape the direction together before the shoot, then play with light, movement, styling, and location while we make the photographs.

Who it's for

Character portraits, artistic experiments, musicians’ and performers’ visual concepts, editorial ideas, and anyone who arrives with an idea they want to build a world around.

What it's like

Bring references, a rough sketch, or just a feeling. We'll plan the look ahead of time and still leave room to experiment on the day.

  • The one-hour option suits a focused concept with a clear visual direction.
  • The two-hour option makes room for more setups, experimentation, wardrobe changes, or locations.

How it works

From hello to gallery.

Five simple steps — all of them personal, none of them complicated.

  1. Inquire

    Send a note through the form with what you have in mind — even a rough idea is plenty.

  2. Talk it through

    I reply personally by email so we can shape the session, location, and timing together.

  3. Confirm

    Once the plan feels right, I email your contract as a PDF to review and sign.

  4. Shoot

    We make the photographs — with gentle direction and plenty of room for the unscripted.

  5. Deliver

    Your edited images arrive in a private online gallery through Pixieset.
