LOCATION PORTRAIT SESSION

Beyond the studio walls, a location portrait session offers a unique opportunity to capture images in a setting that resonates with you. Whether it's the vibrant energy of urban cityscapes, the comfort of your home or office, the serene beauty of the great outdoors, or virtually any other place that inspires you, we'll find the perfect backdrop for your images. Curious about the possibilities? Explore my location portrait portfolio to see the range of images we can create together.

YOUR SESSION EXPERIENCE

Your location session is designed to be both collaborative and comfortable. We typically approach these sessions in one of two ways:

  • Static Setting: We'll focus on a single, compelling location, exploring multiple "looks" and angles to maximize the potential of that specific environment.

  • Dynamic Exploration: We'll move through one or more general areas, discovering various discreet settings as we go, offering a wider range of backdrops and moods.

No matter the approach, we'll always begin by reviewing any wardrobe selections you brought along. This is a great opportunity to discuss what will photograph best and how different outfits can convey different aspects of your personality or brand. From there, we'll ease into the shooting process, starting slow and building momentum step-by-step to ensure you feel relaxed and confident, resulting in a cohesive set of images.

IMAGE REVIEW AND DELIVERY

Depending on the location and technical feasibility, we may be able to tether and review images directly on a computer as we shoot. This allows for immediate feedback and adjustments, ensuring we're capturing exactly what you envision. In situations where this isn't possible, we'll sit down immediately after the session to collaboratively select your favorite images from the entire shoot.

With a focus on achieving a clean and natural look, each of your selections will receive detailed retouching. This generally includes: skin smoothing and evening, color correction and grading, minimizing stray hairs, subtle reduction of clothing wrinkles, and overall image refinement.

You can expect to receive a link to download your high-resolution, retouched images within one week of your session.
