session packages
Commissions from $675 (including hand-bound art book)
My style marries vintage Hollywood glamour with modern elements to create timeless works of art that bring out your inner beauty along with an air of mystery and intrigue. I call it modern vintage glamour or you can call it channeling your inner femme fatale. Beauty is something that comes from within, who we are and how we feel about ourselves makes us beautiful.
Commissioned portrait experiences are shot on location, either in an outdoor setting or your home. They include; fashion story creation, photographic session time, a creative stylist/makeup artist to design and apply your unique look, order session and album design after the shoot, a set of digital social media images, and a custom art book, hand bound in Italy by award winning artisans.
I invite you to a personal session to channel your inner femme fatale and celebrate everything that is you.

8. What about the large digital images, so I can print them myself?
As a photographic artist, the quality of the final print is extremely important. We only use printing and book binding artisans who take pride in going above and beyond in providing quality. Prints are created using premium archival quality papers and inks and art books, which also feature archival quality printing, are hand crafted by artisans in Italy. Because of this high quality, we can create works of art for our clients and why we can also guarantee quality. If you don't like the final print/book, it will be recreated.
If we gave out or sold the large digital negatives it would be like commissioning an oil portrait and having the artist, develop the idea, charcoal the canvas, pull out the brushes, select the right amount of paint, mixing a few hues, numbering them, numbering the canvas, then hand it over to you to finish. Like putting the paint on the canvas, printing is a vital part of the creation process

13. What if it snows or rains or is -20?
In Calgary, that could all happen in the next hour! Typically if its light snow or rain, and it’s not to cold, we’re still good to go. The Light could be amazing. If it’s -15, we’ll reschedule or move it inside; this is just too cold to get a good Fashion/Beauty story in. Red noses can be cute, but I certainly don’t want anyone getting sick!
