Art That Lives Beyond the Screen

We believe your portraits deserve to live somewhere more meaningful than your phone. That’s why every session concludes with a personalized reveal appointment, where we guide you in selecting your favorite images and designing artwork for your home.

  • Framed wall art in custom sizes

  • Fine art prints & portrait boxes

  • Digital collections available as add-ons

    – Daniel

  • “From the moment we walked into the studio, we knew this wasn’t going to be a typical photoshoot. It felt personal, intentional, and completely tailored to us. The final portraits took our breath away—they’re not just pictures, they’re part of our family’s legacy now.”

 FAQs

  • All sessions are held in one of our private, professional studios—each designed to provide a calm, elegant environment. With multiple custom sets, high-end studio lighting, and no outside rentals, the space is yours alone during your session.

  • We’ll guide you through what photographs best in our studio using our curated wardrobe guide. Think timeless neutrals, soft textures, and pieces that complement your home décor if you plan to display your artwork. Wardrobe consultations are included for every session.

  • Absolutely. Whether you’re celebrating a first pregnancy, a multi-generational family portrait, or the bond between kids and pets, we’ll help you craft a session that feels authentic and inclusive. Let us know during your consultation so we can plan accordingly.

  • That’s where our experience comes in. We build flexibility into every session, working patiently and creatively with little ones (and four-legged family members) to get the right expressions. Our goal isn’t perfection—it’s genuine connection.

  • Many of our clients choose to document their journey with both maternity and newborn sessions. While they’re booked separately, we offer bundled artwork options and timeline planning to ensure both sessions complement each other beautifully.

  • For our Los Angeles Clients, you will see your photos immediately after your session. We’ll guide you through your images, help you select your favorites, and design artwork that fits your space and story. For our Dallas clients your reveal appointment will take place 2-3 days later via Zoom for the time being.

  • Most sessions run 30 to 45 minutes, depending on the type and number of participants. We leave plenty of time for wardrobe changes, breaks, and a relaxed, no-pressure flow.

  • Digital images are available for purchase alongside our printed artwork collections. While many clients choose both, we specialize in creating tangible heirlooms meant to live on your walls—not just on your screen.

  • We allow one complimentary reschedule with 48 hours’ notice. For illness or emergencies, we’ll work with you to find the best solution. Late reschedules or no-shows may be subject to a fee. Session fees or deposits paid are non-refundable after 48 hours from booking but may be transferred to a new date.
