?Where Does the Session Take Place?

Most of our sessions take place in our home-based studio. It’s located in Severn, Maryland, just a few minutes from BWI airport. If you need us to work on location for your session, you can upgrade to an on-location shoot for a small fee and we can collaborate on the perfect place to get the images you are looking for.

What are my options for purchasing images? Do you offer retouching?

Depending on what session you choose, it will include a set number of high-resolution, retouched images. We also have different options for you to choose from if you need to purchase any additional images, it all depends on what you need.

What are retouched images?

If you need a certain number of high-resolution images that are edited by hand to perfection, this option is for you. Images are retouched to reduce blemishes, fix stray hairs, and other standard edits to make you look your best while still looking natural. If you plan to use these images to market yourself or your brand, we highly recommend retouching.

What about hair and makeup??

We highly recommend working with a professional hair and makeup artist. Although hair and makeup are not included in the session fee, we have several great artists that we can refer you to who specialize in camera-ready makeup.  For men we recommend a light foundation to help take out any shine. For women, we recommend professional makeup by an experienced artist, but here are a couple of tips if you plan on doing it yourself. 

• Go easy on the blush. This is the one area that stands out the most in photos and can be very difficult to correct in post-processing.

• Bring your makeup to the session in case you need to reapply.

Our sessions are very often scheduled with a few minutes between sessions so please come with hair and makeup ready to go so you can get the most out of your session.
