THE PORTRAIT EXPERIENCE & HOW WE DO IT!
Get portraits you can be proud of
and an experience you'll enjoy!
Booking Your Photo Shoot!
I offer a few different types of sessions to suit your needs.
We have a brief phone call to discover how you want to be photographed. Then I can recommend the session that is a perfect fit for you. I also want to answer all your questions and give you full pricing info to be sure that we're a fit for you.
Click on the Get Info button and fill out the form. You'll be sent an email with information and the Scheduler to set up a phone call at a day and time convenient to you.
During our complimentary Discovery phone call or studio visit, I get to know you and how you want to be photographed. You get my Sessions and Product Guides with full pricing information.
When you're ready to book, you pay a nominal booking retainer. The booking retainer will be credited toward your portrait purchase at your Reveal.
Then we schedule your Style Consultation, Photo Shoot and Reveal appointments.
We will guide you all the way with guides on how to prepare, upcoming appointments, etc. All the information is available to you at any time in your private Client Portal. You can also call us at any time.
CCS accepts all major credit cards, checks , Venmo and cash.
Style Consultation
The number 1 question I get asked is "what do I wear?"
We solve that with your Style Consultation! Based on the type of shoot you are doing, and your personality, we design your custom shoot. The mood, setting, and wardrobe are all planned.
We offer wardrobe suggestions if you want to bring your own outfits. We can come to your home to help select your outfits and design wall art options.
You get a referral to our professional stylists if you wish to purchase new outfits.
For Glamour/Fantasy or Boudoir, you can borrow from our Client Closet of over 100 items from gowns, lace robes, lingerie, and more.
We also go over the Portrait Products we offer. There are samples for you to see and touch. We are Wall Art Specialists! We are educated in Interior Design to create Wall Art to enjoy and compliment your home decor.
It's important for me to know what products you want to purchase prior to the photo shoot so I can create portraits that are styled and sized for your home decor.
Makeup & Hair Styling
When you arrive at the studio for your session you'll be given a robe to change into and offered a glass of champagne, sparkling water, tea, or coffee. Then just sit back and relax while our professional hair and makeup artist makes you camera ready! Be sure to schedule a night out afterward because you will look amazing!
Men are encouraged to take advantage of this service too! Your skin tones will be evened out and hair styled. It's much better to be photographed with your blemishes covered and skin tone evened out than for it to be done by retouching.
Posing 101!
Posing is Christ's Super Power! She will guide you into flattering poses and expressions. She mirrors the poses for you so it's super easy.
