Essence
A Portrait Experience
An unforgettable collaboration between
you, your story, and the lens. $2100 plus gst
This isn’t Boudoir and it’s not Boss Babe either. It’s that sweet spot in-between where you stand in your true grace, depth, and presence. Soul firmly grounded in the pride of who you have become. You’ve grown into your power, softened into your strength, and now, you’re ready to be seen. Is it marketing—yes. Is it a memoir? Also Yes!
This isn’t just a photoshoot—it’s a full experience, crafted around you. It begins with a personalized interview to understand your journey, your energy, and your vision. From there, we’ll design a shoot that feels deeply aligned, with your choice of location setting the tone.
You’ll receive:
A pre-session questionnaire & strategy session to personalize your experience
Thoughtful wardrobe suggestions tailored to you
Onsite hair & makeup by Jenny McKinney
A curated music playlist tailored to your likes and inspiration
Up to 3 hours of photography
Posing direction and emotional guidance throughout
Your choice of location
50 professionally edited images of your choosing (more available by purchase)
Full rights licensing for all delivered images
Optional Add-On:
Video footage capturing highlights of your session — perfect for sharing your story and presence on social media or keeping as a personal keepsake.
Before your session
you’ll receive thoughtful wardrobe suggestions tailored to highlight your unique style and the mood we’ll create together—making sure you feel comfortable, authentic, and radiant.
On the Day of Your Session
professional hair and makeup by world-renowned artist Jenny McKinney will be provided onsite, ensuring you feel radiant and ready. To create the perfect atmosphere, you’ll also receive a curated music playlist personalized to your tastes and inspiration, making your experience immersive and uniquely yours.
You’ll be gently and confidently guided
through every pose and moment—we take all the responsibility for direction so you can simply be. No experience needed. Just trust, breathe, and allow yourself to show up.
Together, we’ll spend up to three hours creating intentional, breathtaking imagery that reflects your essence—not just your image.
