Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a fine art portrait session?

Q: What should I wear for my fine art session?
A: Wardrobe is a key part of creating a stunning fine art portrait. We offer a client wardrobe with a selection of elegant gowns, dresses, and accessories to help you achieve a polished and timeless look. If you prefer to wear your own clothing, we recommend neutral or rich tones, flowing fabrics, and classic styles that complement the fine art aesthetic.
Q: Do you provide styling assistance?
A: Yes! We help guide you in selecting outfits that will photograph beautifully. If you choose to use our client wardrobe, we’ll assist in picking pieces that best suit your session’s vision and theme.
Q: Where does the session take place?
A: Sessions can be held in our studio, where we control the lighting and backdrop for a classic fine art look, or at an outdoor location for a more natural and ethereal feel.
Q: Can I include my family in the session?
A: Absolutely! Fine art portraits can be for individuals, couples, or families. We’ll help pose and style everyone to ensure a cohesive, elegant look.
Q: How long does the session last?
A: Sessions typically last 60-90 minutes, giving us time to capture a variety of poses and styles. If multiple wardrobe changes are included, it may take a little longer.

A: Your polished, heirloom-quality images will be delivered within 2-3 weeks after your session. You’ll receive a private gallery where you can view and select your favorite portraits.
