THE PORTRAIT GUide
To help plan an experience that allows for natural and honest documentation of your story.
-
Our mission is simple; we want to help create a purposeful experience from your shoot that emulates and exemplifies your relationship.
-
By balancing the line of creative direction and subject freedom of spontaneity, we’re able to document you beautifully AND naturally.
-
Because your photos will reflect authenticity and evoke real feelings, you will have an emotional connection to your photos, making them a cherished and priceless possession.
We want you to have photos that represent you; photos that you will feel and relate to; photos you can laugh and cry over.
In an effort to document as organically as possible, we encourage spontaneity, movement and uninhibited tendencies. It starts with determining the mood of the shoot (ie. are you introverted homebodies or energetic goofballs). Then we want to be collaborating on a location that suits that mood but also your your vibe/vision. Lastly, we are selecting wardrobe that is appropriate for the location (color palette, practicality, style).
Our direction is intentional, yet loose and flexible and relies on adventure and fun as the engine to documenting you authentically. We lean heavily into spontaneity and are constantly curating the approach based on how we read your personalities and energies.
