FAQ
🧍♀️ What’s the difference between a headshot and a Personae portrait?
Headshots are clean, polished portraits with a focus on professional use—perfect for LinkedIn, acting portfolios, or press materials.
Personae portraits go deeper—they’re cinematic, conceptual, and often theatrical. This series is for those looking to explore identity, self-expression, or transformation in front of the camera. Many clients choose Personae sessions for personal storytelling or print-worthy artistic portraits.
🗓️ How do I book a session?
Reach out via our contact form to schedule a consultation. We’ll discuss your vision, session type, availability, and next steps. A deposit is required to secure your date.
🎨 What’s included in a Personae session?
Personae sessions include a creative consultation, an extended photoshoot with custom lighting and backgrounds, and a curated reveal session where you can choose your favorite images for print or digital use. We also offer add-ons like hair & makeup or wardrobe styling.
⏱️ How long does a session take?
Headshot and branding sessions typically run 30 to 90 minutes, depending on your package.
Personae sessions run 2 to 3 hours, giving us room to create multiple looks and dive into a fuller creative process.
💄 Do I need to bring my own makeup artist or stylist?
You’re welcome to come styled—or we can arrange professional collaborators for hair, makeup, and wardrobe styling. We’ll talk through your preferences in the consultation and add any styling services to your session as needed.
👗 What should I wear?
We’ll guide you! For headshots and branding portraits, simple, well-fitted clothing in solid colors works best. Bring 2–3 options, including one that feels like “you” at your best.
For Personae sessions, we encourage more creative wardrobe choices. You can bring your own, or work with a costume stylist (available as an add-on). Many clients find it fun to explore character, mood, or even fantasy through their styling.
🖼️ Do I get to choose my images?
Yes. After your shoot, we’ll schedule a reveal session where you’ll view the best images and choose your favorites for retouching and delivery. This is also when most clients choose to add prints, albums, or additional images.
🖼️ What print products do you offer?
We offer museum-quality prints, framed wall art, custom albums, and digital collections. Most of our Personae clients choose to print at least one piece for display. Your reveal session is where you’ll see all your best images and select the ones you’d love to keep.
⚖️ Who owns the photos? What can I use them for?
You receive personal usage rights for all purchased images. That means you can use them online, in print, on your website, and across social media. We retain copyright as the photographer, but you have full freedom for non-commercial self-promotion.
If you’re looking for commercial licensing (e.g., book covers, ads, or merchandise), let us know—we’re happy to tailor a license agreement.
