ABOUT "SIMPLICITY
YOUR SESSION Before: We start with a phone or in-person consultation to design your session. I want to make sure that you get the most out of this experience. You'll book your date and pay your non-refundable retainer. During: I understand that some kids can be a little nervous in front of the camera. Rest assured that my team and I put our effort into making sure that our clients are comfortable and most of all, have fun! I'll guide you through
posing and make sure that you look your best. We'll keep your images clean and classic to make so that you and your personality stand out. After: At the end of your session, we'll go through your images and pick your favorites, making sure they are in line with what you need to add to your portfolio. After selection, the remainder of your payment is then due. Please allow 7-10 days to receive your images that will be delivered in an online gallery.

BE YOU AND OWN IT! "Not sure who did her hair, but can you tell them Makayla's aunt said THANK YOU! Just last month Kayla was saying she didn't like her hair because it wasn't straight. I gave her the best black girl magic pep talk that I could, but it wasn't enough. Girl she is over here radiating! Bree just showed her how to fluff it in the morning. She is feeling herself. I said you see, you see I told you your hair is beautiful just the way it is. She just smiled." -Angel

What To Wear
"The secret of great style is to feel good
in what you wear."
The Basics: When you're first building your portfolio, it's more about you, the model, than the clothes you're wearing. Starting with simplistic, minimalist outfits puts the focus on you: earthtones or neutral colors white, black, or grey tank tops or t-shirts fitted/skinny jeans blue jean shirt body suits blazers or leather jackets oversized sweaters or throws sportswear boots, sneakers, heels Be Bold: Try something different. Add some vibrance or wear something that shows off your personality: a pop of color color block mix and match patterns show your personal style Fashion/Editorial: Unlike with the before mentioned basic styling, in fashion and editorial looks you are selling the clothes. If you look at most ads ,there isn't much jewelry or anything else drawing attention away from the clothing. A statement piece is fine but don't go overboard. Find a brand or designer that closely emulates the look you'd like to go for. Of course I have designers and stylists that I work with and I can help guide you through the process.

POSING &
EMOTION
Modeling is more than standing in front of a camera and looking pretty. Despite what most people think, modeling is hard work and takes practice. Modeling is a lot like acting. You use your facial expressions and body movements to sell the clothes you are wearing, bring focus to an item, or tell a story. You must be in control of both at the same time. Your body can be in this beautiful amazing pose, and your face in a dull lackluster expression or vice versa. You need both to be in sync for a great photograph. For some people it takes time to be aware of both, and that's ok. That's why I push practicing as much as possible. Look at some of your favorite models and magazines and get in front of that mirror and try to mimic them. Sometimes you can stay in the same pose and make just the slightest movement. Move your hand to your face, tilt your head up, look off to the side, etc. You'd be surprised how many different looks you can get by doing this. Also don't be afraid to be active. Flip your jacket, jump, twirl, laugh (or fake laugh if you must). No matter what you do, have fun!
